Batik factually means wax writing. Not starting a disagreement, the art is as original to India as to Indonesia, Malaysia or Japan. Indians knew the method of Batik about 2000 years back. Rice starches along with resists of wax were used for printing. The technique had misplaced its attractiveness because of tiresome procedures of waxing and dewaxing. It was kept living as a hobby by the upper-class ladies and ultimately revived in the 20th century.
