Perceptions and Reality: The Fall and Rise of the Indian Metals Industry Through Three Millennia
- Date Nov. 20, 2009
- Time Noon-1 p.m.
- DescriptionPaul Craddock suggests that if the 19th century failed to appreciate the technical sophistication of the earlier periods, then the 20th century to the present has perhaps been unduly harsh on the Imperial powers for discouraging metal production in India.
