Great thread on Indian exhibitions that were organised from the impetus on the London exhibitions
More on global swadeshi: exhibitions. The Great Exhibition of 1851 in London spurred similar events all around the world. India was no exception. Britons organized exhibitions in Madras from 1853 and then in Lucknow, Lahore, and Roorkee.
