Description
Prakash Kumar documents the history of agricultural indigo, exploring the effects of globalisation on a colonial industry in South Asia, from its peasants' traditions in the early modern period through the nineteenth century when indigo culture became more modern and science-based, to its decline after the end of the First World War, when synthetic indigo became more widely used.
