Through six chapters dedicated to a mostly unknown village in Bengal and its craft, Payal Mohanka paints a picture of the rural crafting communities that produce rather unusual crafts objects like wigs, decorative lights, polo balls, boats, shuttlecocks and jeans.
As a journalist, when Payal was filing four-minute capsules on each of these activities for the India Business Report on BBC World Service television, she made a decision to capture these activities in more detail. After a decade Payal Mohanka returned to these six villages; Baniban Jagdishpur, Chandernagor, Deulpur, Balagarh, Jadurberia and Chatta Kalikapur and the result is this book.
Join her with host Ayushi Mona as she shares her peculiar and fascinating journey.
