The old name is "muslin " Later " muslin " It is the world's first " global brand" of muslin.
The British tried to plant cotton in this country, but they could not make muslin They were not able to master the weavers of this country They lost to the muslin of Bengal and finally cut off the thumb of the weavers The poet Satyendranath Dutta, the magician of rhythm, while singing the song of the charkha, spoke of the muslin of Bengal.
"Wealth in the charkha, food in the charkha. Gold glittering in the charkha of Bengal. Bengal's muslin, Bogdad, Rome china. Kanchan used to buy it in a day.".
As mentioned earlier, the British cut off the thumbs of the weavers of this country to market their country-made cloth The magic of the thumbs made fine cloth like muslin It is said that the daughter of Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb once begged in the court to come in a ginger dress (?).
Shahzadi replied that he was not wearing any ginger at all, but seven or seven pieces of cloth! So fine was the Bengal muslin A whole muslin cloth could be passed through the ring It could be folded into a snail shell or a box of doshai.
Muslin from Bengal has also been found on the mummies of Egyptian pharaohs from about 5,000 years ago Megasthenes, the Greek ambassador to India, reports that Indians wore fine quality muslin cloth with gold embroidery and floral designs.
Again, in the Periplus of the Erythian Sea, Dr William Vincent (1st vol , 1800) reports that the best quality was Gangetic muslin According to the Periplus, the thickest muslin was called molochina, the smooth and broad muslin "monachi," and the best quality muslin was called gangetic, that is, "Ganges water.
".

Jagat Seth's house in Murshidabad is known to have fine muslin that could be passed through the ring Banabhatta's "Harshacharita" mentions a type of indigenous silk cloth called "poundrabasa " Kautilya's " Arthashastra" names various fine textiles from Bengal and the Pundra region, such as silk, doo-kool, patorn, and cotton.
Pliny states that Roman beauties revealed their curved lines in the thin coating of muslin.
The origin of the name "muslin" is traced to the Greek merchants who bought cloth from the port of Masulipatam in India, which was known as muslin The town of Masulipatam was called "Maisolos" () The Hobson Jobson dictionary of Henry Yule suggests that the name "muslin" comes from "msul.
" Marcopolo mentions muslin in the Masulipatam region.

The Muslin was famous for fine cotton textures Sense as our word, quoting the Arabian Nights (Macnaghten's ed , (i) 176, and (ii), 159, in both of which the word indicates the material of a fine turban (Burton, i, 211) translated'Masul Stuff ', and says it may mean either of "Mosul Fashion, or Muslin").
The quotation from loves, as well as that from Marco Polo, seems to apply to a different texture from what we can muslin 1298, ---- "All the cloths of gold and silk that are called Mosolins are made in this country (Masul)" ---- Marco Polo, BK i.
The scientific name of the cotton plant used to make muslin is Gossypium arboreum var neglecta There are about nineteen hundred species of cotton plants, of which "footi cotton" is the most common Footi cotton is characteristic of the plant.
1) The common cotton plant has three toes on each leaf, but five on each 2) The stem is reddish 3) The height of the plant is less than that of the common cotton plant 4) The height of the cotton plant is less than that of the common cotton plant.
5) Most cotton plants have fruits facing upwards, but the cotton plant has fruits facing downwards This is why the muslin cotton does not get damaged in the rain 6) The plant bears fruit twice a year.

Now, let us see where this muslin cotton was grown It is known that this footi cotton was grown along the Meghna and Shitalakkhya rivers in present-day Bangladesh The Danish East India Company report of 1789 AD suggests that Bengal weavers made muslin without any machinery.
Kapasia area of Gazipur, surrounded by the Bhawal forest of present-day Bangladesh The former name of Kapasia is --- Titabari Later in the medieval period Sonargaon and furthermore the Padma-Brahmaputra-Meghna enclave covered an area of 1,960 square miles, which was the area of the Dhaka muslin-making area.
From the cotton bolls of the muslin cotton producers, girls aged 16 to 30 would make fine threads with their soft fingers, early in the morning and late in the afternoon.
Muslin was made of fine yarns of 700 to 800 counts The higher the yarn count, the finer the muslin And to weave muslin, a special variety of bamboo made of 2,500 to 3,000 cubits was required Muslin required moisture in the room and therefore temperature was regulated.
Meghna is one of the largest rivers in Bangladesh It is close to the sea It flows in two gullies in the rainy season It is the silt that forms the two sides of the river It is the silt that produces good cotton In 1 bigha of land, cotton cotton is available at 6 kg.
After about 170 years, the present government of Hasina has been able to produce muslin there again.

According to media reports, the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, ordered the Ministry of Textiles and Jute to bring back the muslin and announced to provide necessary assistance to the researchers An expert committee was formed The capital was still occupied by some books such as "Species Plantarum" by Swedish researcher Carolus Linnaeus and "Dhaka Muslin" by Abdul Karim.
A picture was then drawn by a student of the Fine Arts Department of Rajshahi University to find the tree The picture was advertised in various newspapers The matter was also publicized in various educational institutions and social media Then in March 2017, reports of the footi cotton tree came from Kapasia and Rangamati areas of Gazipur.
Then the researchers collected samples of a total of 38 varieties of cotton They also visited the National Museum in Kolkata, India On arrival, they found that the new muslin being produced in Murshidabad was from southern India and was not as expensive.
The team then travelled to London The DNA sequence of the Dhaka muslin, which is housed at the Victoria and Albert Museum there, was extracted and found to be similar to that of the footi cotton of the Kapasia region of Bangladesh The researchers were encouraged A new spinning wheel was developed by Manzoorul Islam and Professor Alimuzzaman, Dean of the Textile University.
Then there was the need for weavers It was found that there were weavers making muslin in Chandina, Comilla After arranging everything, a muslin sari like the one in London was finally made It cost Tk 360,000.
However, researchers in that country are hopeful that the cost will come down later.
