This once-dominant textile art vanished swiftly between the 2nd and 6th decades of the 19th century, leaving behind a profound mystery. The book uncovers how muslin’s unique cotton—grown only in a small stretch of land near the Meghna River in Dhaka—became the centerpiece of an intricate textile transformation. The muslin industry sparked a booming cottage industry in rural Bengal, creating waves in international markets. However, the commercial expanse of muslin led to wars, legislative controls, and ultimately, the fabric’s demise. This book delves into the origins, growth, and tragic fall of muslin, offering a nuanced exploration of its impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1062\" data-end=\"1065\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-start=\"1067\" data-end=\"1090\"\u003eAbout the Author:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1091\" data-end=\"1903\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1091\" data-end=\"1106\"\u003eBhaskar Das\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1106\" data-end=\"1109\"\u003eBorn in 1959 in Chandannagar, Hooghly District, Bhaskar Das is a professional orthopedic doctor, having completed his undergraduate and postgraduate studies at the Calcutta Medical College.
