"Elihu Yale, who lived and worked in India for nearly three decades with the British East India Company from 1670 to 1699 donated to the Collegiate School of Connecticut three bales of goods- Madras cotton, silk and other textiles from India – laying the foundation of their first building."
We think of textiles as British, not Indian. From a good post at Chapati Mystery: Remember Eric Rudoph?
