Do you feel the crafts still are alive, fully alive in India?

I do not know whether the crafts are still alive, and crafts are still alive for the wrong reasons. They want to earn dollars and pounds, and the tourist industry makes use of these crafts. But the whole idea is that if you are thinking of terms of the kind of expertise that these craftsmen have, you can recreate a whole sort of system of Indian handicraft as it was at one time. I mean, they have the expertise still. Of course, they are being vulgarised because of the people who merchandise these goods do not have the right taste or the right understanding. In fact, when the craft was somehow, the development of crafts was somehow turned to the question of foreign trade, I had tried many times to persuade the people saying that look, you are doing the wrong thing. In fact, if I think in terms of craft, as a sort of valuable culture, I said it is on the basis of the nexus between the user and the maker, and a close nexus so that both get educated in the process.
