Nadri explores the dynamics of the indigo industry and trade from a long-term perspective and examines the local and global forces that affected the potentialities of production in India and elsewhere and caused periods of boom and slump in the industry. Using the commodity chains conceptual framework he examines the stages in the trajectory of indigo from production to consumption. Nadri shows convincingly that the growth or decline in indigo production and trade in India was a part of the global processes of production, trade, and consumption and that indigo as a global commodity was embedded in the politics of empire and colonial expansion.European expansion and indigenous response ;Volume 22.Indigo industryIndiaHistoryDyes and dyeingIndiaHistoryIndiaPolitics and governmentElectronic books.Indigo industryHistory.Dyes and dyeingHistory.338.4/766726Nadri Ghulam A.912559MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910480709403321The political economy of Indigo in India, 1580-19302043847UNINA
