Description | In this book, the author discusses the Malar Group (Dokra) of Dariapur (Burdwan), Malarkar (Dokar) Dharal Kaj (Hollow-Casting Work of Dokras) of Dariapur (Burdwan) Community, Production Technique in Dariapur Community, Economy of Malar (Dokra) Artisans Unit of Daripur, Community of Malars (Dokras) of Dariapur, and Similar Artisans elsewhere in the State. The report, together with an appendix, throws some light on the technique, economy, language, and social life of the small community of hollow-casting artisans of Dariapur (Burdwan), in the background of similar small communities in the districts of Burdwan, Birbhum, Midnapore, Bankura, and Purulia. The report suggests the immediate need for the permanent settlement of the artisans’ groups as viable cooperative units under constant technical and management guidance. As their products have been selling in foreign countries now and their master craftsmen have been national award winners, further care is needed. This book is a journey into the world of these exceptional artisans, their craft, and the stories that bind them to their heritage. It is a tribute to their dedication and an exploration of the intricate art of Dokra—a craft that encapsulates the soul of rural India. |
