The Importance of Silkworm in Indian Culture and Economy
Silk is a fabric which was once synonymous with luxury. Rightfully so, for there could be no material as smooth, comfortable, pretty and shiny as silk. And you can wear it during all sorts of weather! It is also one of the most durable natural fibre. It finds its use in parachutes, blanked filling, surgical sutures and even bicycle tires! It could easily be said that silk became one of the links which brought Ancient China and the world together.
