The
present paper looks into the situational analysis of weavers of
Banarasi saree, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh. The life of weavers is
characterized by abject poverty, chronic malnutrition, varied health
hazards and even hunger deaths and suicides. In-put cost is unbearable
for many and profit is taken by middlemen. Globalization has severely
affected economically vulnerable small weavers pushing them below
poverty line. State machinery is apathetic and whatever schemes and
programmes exist, fail to do any good to weavers who are battling hard
to keep this one of the finest legacies of Indian culture alive.
Situation of women and children is worse. Women are engaged in mundane
work of thread-cutting, zari-filling and the like and are paid merely
Rs.10-15 per day for 12-16 hours of work. Children are denied schooling
to speed up saree-production. Suggestive interventions are highlighted
in the paper.
