Ashok Dhawan and Jagdish Shah are amongst the most well-established wholesale dealers of banarasi handlooms in Banaras. The duo take us through the journey of the rise, fall and rise of the city's hand-loom industry, how its famed sarees, once considered fit for only royalty all but lost the battle to synthetic fakes, how the trade policies of the country post 1991 actually contributed to creating this scenario and just how banarasi handloom is making its way back into the mainstream now. A fascinating listen about the ties of silk, gold and silver that bind. #Liberlisation #Banarasiweaves #Handlooms
