US Artist Highlights India's Historical Prosperity and Impact of British Colonial Policies
Jema Ferrer Julka, a New York tattoo artist visiting India, shared her perspective on the country's history and culture through Instagram videos. She emphasized that India was historically prosperous, especially in textiles like cotton, silk, and muslin, but suffered economic decline due to British colonial trade policies that disadvantaged Indian producers. Ferrer also highlighted the global adoption of Indian cultural practices such as yoga and Ayurveda, noting that while these have become commercial successes abroad, the original communities have not always received due recognition.
