The History of Indian handicrafts goes back to thousands of years. The first evidence of India handicraft was found in the Indus Valley.
The craft tradition in India revolved around religious beliefs, local needs of the people and the desires of the royalty, along with an eye for foreign and domestic markets. Indian textiles and their permanent dyes were appreciated throughour the world.
Many Roman trade documents refer to the export of silk from India to Europe in the 6th century AD. There are references to Arab sailors who brought silver and gold from their countries and took back shiploads of handicrafts from India to the Middle East. In the North, caravans carried woven textiles along the Silk Route and went right up to Moscow by the Fur Route.
