The English Words You Use Every Day Were Born in India #ShortsAñadido:
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.
