Introduction Chapters 1. Cotton cultivation of Mahlaing Township 2. Textile industry 3. Cotton trading and the life of cotton farmers 4. Hand-loom decorations Conclusion.

Dissertation note: This study on the textile industry of Mahlaing Township in the colonial period is traced as far back as the emergence of the Pyu Kingdoms in the first and second centuries AD. Since then, both cotton growing and weaving are thought to have been simultaneously existed in accord with some technical developments in agriculture and social changes in their mode of living which enhanced a kind of style in costume of their urban culture. The Bagan Period saw the development of textile production in their visual art on temple walls and in inscriptions. In later successive periods up to the end of 1885, various forms of records relating to cotton growing , and weaving are found in leading libraries, archives and in some private collections. They are seen as the embryo or hard core of later developments in textile industry of the Mahlaing Township. This study is, therefore, discussed in four chapters: cotton growing; weaving as a kind of livelihood in rural areas; examining the life of cotton farmers and textile weavers; and hand loom decorations. A daring attempt is also made by presenting and discussing the art works in relief nicely carved on the upper loom frames not only from aesthetic point of view but also from nationalistic outlook and interpretation. Thus the whole work of this dissertation presented and discussed can be epitomized into cotton growing, textile weaving, conditions of cotton farmers and weavers, and beautiful carvings in foliages and reliefs of human figures playing martial art, on some loom frames which mostly belonged to better off families in some villages of the township.
