How Artisans In Sindh Are Keeping 5,000-Year-Old Block Printing Alive | Still Standing
While working for a State Department exchange program, I was gifted one of these by a close friend from Pakistan. I am very, very fortunate to have an original, hand crafted one. The patterns and colors are beautiful.
Who would buy this garbage lol. It's ugly, smells like s h it. Just bleh
@@dr.angerous have personally seen or smelled one?
Maybe you are a manager in the factory-made ones
No thanks, I’ll rather have a machine made. It’s napaak to begin with

In Sindh, it is considered a great honor for any guest to be presented with an Ajrak shawl. You will frequently find these beautiful shawls in possession of people who have traveled the region. My father had one. Beautiful pieces they are

Actually Kachhi language is same like Sindhi with some words pronounced in deferent accent... "Rin kachh" in Sindhi means "The platue of Kachh"
I'm from Gujarat, India.
This work has been traditionally done by Khatris of Sindh province.
Being a Khatri, I have seen some of these tools shown in the video at our home in the hometown. One of our relatives in that village still does this work in a similar way shown in the video.
Can I please know which place so I can buy from there please
Where I can get this stuff?
Can u please leave me his contact details?
Hey guys, it's in Banaskantha District of Gujarat.
But last time I was there a few months ago, I found out that they are no longer doing this work.
When they displayed the finished piece I was absolutely blown away. It's so incredibly beautiful!
Thanks for encouraged
And smells like shit. It's a stamp in dye and a crap cured nasty ass cotton cut out .......how do you people see beauty in shit fabric 😂
Respect from India for keeping this tradition alive
Its nice to see people sticking to old crafting techniques despite the availability of modern machinery
Lol intentionally wiped out the original culture of thr land from which such art styles originated (ツ)
@@Rabbitr1 yeah but that part use to be historically part India. Unless your talking about religion which like if this is 5,000 years old then Islam has no relation to it whatsoever.
@@Rabbitr1 this is culture of the land not of religion , no where in vedas they mention these cultures , so what are you talking about?
@@Aloksharma-oe1gm the thing is, they rejected the Indian culture. If you ask them, they will say, it's Turkish or Arabic not Indian.

They can’t since it’s Indian heritage 5000 ago no pakistan even 100 years ago no.even islam wasn’t there.
@@Singh98798 well it's not indian it's Sindhi heritage as myself Sindhi and I think as Sindh is the part of Pakistan so it's becomes a part Pakistan's culture and Pakistan made of different cultures and traditions acc to their area.

Honestly I don’t get it why people who love ancient stuff don’t know about ajraks its one of the oldest pattern on cloth known to man.
About time world knows about this beautiful ancient style that survived more than 5k years!
Because ancient things are not affordable for every one...
agree lol but tbh its bc of pop culture and capitalism. everything is expensive because of the exploitation of resources. with mass production, most consumers lost sight of the value of patience and time, that's why craftsmen and creative people are deprived on most cases

I mean…. There is probably easier and more hygienic ways to make this then using poo
@@jamestalbot1647
why ? do you want to eat the shawl ?
@@mrsky3881 times move on, those employees are using their bare hands… not very hygienic
@@jamestalbot1647 yaa but still poo is better than harmful chemicals.. poo is organic so it won't polute river badly.. toxic chemicals used in textile is accounts of major chunk of cancer patients. Polutes fresh water, produce more co2 and other green house gases in making. I am not against modern chemical way but it just hurts when people see this old art with disguise which is actually pure gold.
Wow mind really blown to see the rich culture of Sindh 👍

It is good they are now able to sell directly to the international market. $50 is quite expensive locally, but in other economies it is a very reasonable price. Often hand-made artisan crafts are too expensive for most people, but this product is both respected high-quality craftsmanship and a reasonable price on the international market. Those workers should be seeing their pay increase even more if everything goes well.
Thanks for encourage

As the artisan himself tells us, this craft leads to broken bodies and begging on the streets.
@@frankryan2505 He said he has seen craftsmen begging and in pain. He also employees some elderly men, and his elderly father is still doing the work. He didn’t say it’s the rule; he said he has seen it happen. That was with regard to the fact that the work does take a lot of effort but does not always pay off.
If you ever go to Pakistan, please buy from the local craftsmen and not big stores. Yeah it might be expensive, but the product is handmade, high quality & it lasts for years

Actually in india there is one region called Kutch. It shares so many cultural similarities with Sindh. We speak kutchi in that region which is quite similar to Sindhi. There is also once village is available ajrakpur which is solely depends on this.
kutch is influenced by sindh it was historically a part of sindhi dynasties n empires
My mentor in corporate gifted me two ajraks when I left that company. She was a kutchi hindu.
Rare Ancient skill. Very beautiful.
I would like to add that my district kachchh(gujarat state) is also hub of handcrafts and skilled artwork. There is Village name "Ajrakhpur", world famous for its Ajrakh work.
Right It's also Available in Gujarat (Kachchh)
Wow! I'll surely pay a visit to Kutch to witness them first-hand.
My family is originaly from kutch (father side from mundra and mother side from khedoi which is a village near bhuj)I was born and raised and still live in Yemen, great to know something in the culture of my original roots
