Indian Cotton Uses and Benefits of Cotton is a fabric that brings people from all over the world together. It’s a piece of fabric that cuts beyond boundaries of geography, colour, ethnicity, age, and wealth. It’s a natural fabric made from the fluffy furballs of a cotton plant’s mature, spherical seeds. Its history dates back to 5000 BC, and proof of its use may be discovered in India’s Mehrgarh and Rakhigarhi archaeological sites.
