ढाई लाख घंटे तक मिट्टी के बर्तन बनाना

कोल्हापुर जिले के कपाशी गांव में विष्णु कुंभार के परिवार के सदस्य 15 पीढ़ियों से मिट्टी के बर्तन बना रहे हैं। लेकिन उनके दुर्लभ कौशल को शायद ही कभी मान्यता दी जाती है और उन्हें इस महान पुरानी परंपरा को आगे बढ़ाने के लिए राज्य से कोई समर्थन नहीं मिलता है

They rose with the sun. And there were smiles on the faces of women congregating early in the morning at Singhu, on the Haryana-Delhi border. Theye were there to commemorate International Women’s Day (IWD) on March 8, 2021, in response to a call given by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), the collective of various farm unions coordinating the agitation. This year, IWD  coincided with the 100th day of the historic farmers’ protest – where the women are prominent participants – against the three farm laws imposed by the union government. 

Shanti, 80 years old (sixth from the left), with a blue scarf over her head and a white-red flag in her hand, came from Bitani village in Jind district of Haryana. “We do not ask for alms here. We are demanding our rights,” she said.

They are among the first wave of green that strode across the bridge to the Barakhamba road, and among a larger group of farmers from Tamil Nadu thunderously shouting slogans while brandishing skulls and bones. They are marching towards Parliament Street, and have come to protest against the spectre of death that sits heavily on their heads because of abysmal government policy.

From fields and ploughs to Parliament Street

On November 30, 2018, undulating waves of red, yellow and green flags, held aloft by farmers from all over India, spread through the streets of Delhi.
