BRITISH DRESS
Why is the colour of the Indian police uniform khaki, not any other colour?
In the mid-1800s, British soldiers in India began dyeing their white uniforms a dusty colour, using anything from muddy water to tea (camellia sinensis). Cutch (the same as the astringent catechu) was a reliable dye already in use for calico-prints in India’s cotton fabric industry. The dye created the colour khak, an Indian word for dust, earth, and ashes. In 1847, Sir Harry Burnett Lumsden brought in the first official khaki uniform.

Hi !
Am just one who admires you and appreciates all your work. Would like to definitely meet up with you ,and have a cup of ‘chai’ – vow ! that will be kind of my day. Im not so good on telephones and at times believe that these tele communication gadgets have acutally taken humans far away from each other.
Looking forward
