The English Words You Use Every Day Were Born in India #ShortsAdded:
Britain banned Indian fabric. In Indian words, >> [music] >> the law was called the Calico Act.
Calico from Calicut, an Indian port city. Chintz [music] from Hindi, meaning spotted cloth. Khaki from Urdu, meaning dust colored. Bandana from Sanskrit, meaning to tie. Pajamas >> [music] >> from Hindi, meaning leg clothing. Words from India in the English language.
>> [music] >> Britain banned the fabric. The names stayed. The words survived. The weavers did not. Every time you say these words, you are speaking words born in India, even [music] if history never told you.
How many English fabric words come from India? More than you think. India built it. Britain banned it. The history they didn't translate.
