INKED IN INDIA (HB)
‘The exchange of the reed pen for the fountain pen is part of India’s economic transition and isreflected in the attitudes of these two great leaders, Gandhi and Ambedkar.’In the early 1900s, a Bengali doctor created the first Indian fountain pen in Varanasi. Despite this early start, foreign-made pens dominate the Indian market, with no notable Indian brand available to customers.Inked in India traces this journey of make and unmake, from a pre-Independence India with astrong manufacturing base for pens, nibs and ink, to the post-Independence economic policieswhich eroded that competitive advantage and led to economic churn and the exit of foreign firms from the country. Going beyond the nostalgia and lost sheen of fountain pens, it tackles economic transition and the impact of policy on local enterprise.
