India has always been a land of crafts and artisans. Although the country is now moving on the fast track of modern industrial growth modelled on western capitalist economies, the handcrafted production continues to coexist. In some parts of the country the craft tradition is so deep rooted that thousands of people, who possess traditional skills, continue to produce a variety of handicrafts to meet the changing nature of the demand in domestic as well as export markets. This is true especially of Kerala State, which has a rich craft tradition and economic rationale for adoption of labour-intensive techniques of production in view of its acute unemployment problem. Literature on the subject, however, lacks studies based on primary surveys of economic conditions of major handicrafts in the State. Towards closing this gap, this book presents abridged versions of selected study-reports on handicrafts prepared by scholars sponsored by the Kerala Research Programme on Local Level Development (KRPLLD) of the Centre for Development Studies. These reports are presented in the form of case studies on micro-level problems of specific handicrafts and their artisans. A macro-overview of structure, growth and problems of the handicraft sector and socio-economic conditions of artisans based on the analysis of data from secondary sources provides the backdrop for the case studies. The findings of the micro-level analysis of specific crafts, when looked at in the macro-perspective, help in sharpening our overall understanding of the problems of the handicrafts industry and the poor economic conditions of artisans, who still remain the backbone of the handicraft industry.

Craft Matters explores the ways in which traditional Indian craft producers engage with the efforts of government and non governmental agencies to preserve, promote and develop their crafts. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork among the Labbai Muslim mat weavers of Pattamadai town in South India, this anthropological study explores the ways in which the famous pattu pai or high-quality silk-like mats of Pattamadai became classified as traditional craft objects, and what this classification has meant to the weavers who are now simultaneously national heroes and (paradoxically) marginalized and suspect Muslims. Handwoven by poor Muslims and bought by elite Tamil Hindus for use in marriage ceremonies and as craft objects by other affluent sections of society, the mats are made within the literature to embody liberal ideals of harmony between Hindus and Muslim, rural poor and urban elites, the past and the present, and tradition and modernity. The mats make their weavers accepted and celebrated within the wider nation, allowing them to act on the national stage. However, this is constantly constrained by the very ways in which craft is conceptualized in India.

Mapping India's crafts was a mammoth task that took eleven years. During this period, many new crafts were born, skills rejuvenated and some may have languished and faded away. The nature of crafts production in India is both ephemeral and resilient. India's crafts journey resembles the progress of a river from the mountains to the ocean, picking up material, depositing some, changes course, disappearing underground to surface somewhere else. Yet, the tradition continues forever. The Dastkari Haat Samiti, a national association of craftspeople, undertook the enormous task of documenting whatever skills and crafts it could find and created artistic crafts maps of each state of India. Three new states were born during the process. A traditional art form of each state provides the backdrop for information meticulously gathered from first and second hand sources. The maps provide resource material to people working in different disciplines and a source of aesthetic joy to anyone who uses them as wall posters. The vibrant illustrations and academically rich content are recreated as an atlas of India's crafts, handmade textiles and traditional arts, covering India's cultural history. "Crafts Atlas of India" is therefore a unique documentation and a rare visual treat.
