In this series of activities, students will follow different approaches and listen to different voices in order to explore and draw conclusions about Indian visual representations of religious faith.

| Indian Textiles & Empire |
|
| Victoria and Albert Museum
|
"The Victoria and Albert Museum has an exceptional and wide-ranging collection of textiles from the Indian subcontinent. Many of these were collected before the museum came into existence and were deposited in the East India Company, later the Indian Museum. ... Besides their beauty as objects and their implications for the textile industries, it was also recognised that Indian textiles, from humble printed cottons to sumptuous gold brocades, also represented the values of handcraft in a world seen as threatened by wholesale industrialisation." This feature on Indian textiles includes the following topics: 1) Introduction to Indian Textiles; 2) Indian Textiles in the Collection; 3) Collecting Indian Textiles; 4) Circulating Indian Textiles; 5) Consuming Indian Textiles.
