- Women of the Rajbanshi tribe in West Bengal, India, have been weaving jute into mats, bags, and other products for generations. Many depend on the craft to make their livelihoods. But mass-produced mats are flooding the market and threatening to put them out of business.

How Women In India Are Fighting To Save A Tribal Weaving Tradition | Still Standing
These women deserve all the credit. They’ve worked hard to preserve their cultures and traditions.
Also this channel because of it we got to know about them
She is my mom
Nah
@@sanjitasarkar2009 any ways we can order the mat online
Yes how to order them?
I am from the same region of north bengal these women are. We only buy this type of jute woven matts for our homes. They are beautiful and hardy , can withstand lot of wear and tear. It warms my heart that these Rajbsndhi artisans are being celebrated in the international media.
Same here....from Jalpaiguri
Do you have any contact number so that I can also buy
Can you give any contact no. of them?
Can you give options to buy that products
Best regards but what is rajbsndhi?
We're Rajbanshi( koch) thank you
Good to watch Rajbanshi Women from West Bengal getting recognition.❤️
Amazing, literally floored, what a cool woman, seeing her spin the spindle over the scrap of tire on her leg, or her entire loom having a back strap on it, her going to workshops, paying for her son's education, learning feet and inches such back breaking work and she takes pride and joy in it and I am just so blown away. What a resourceful and skillful weaver!!!
And what a awesome comment 😌😌😌😌🤡🤡🤡
I didn't know jute could look so good.
I love these videos showing handmade crafts. The dedication these craftsmen and women put into their work is inspiring.
She is my own aunty....we are proud of you masi
Thank you
She's hard worker
Pls give me her details
Please share her contact, I am moving to kolkata and will need mats for my son and our new place there...
I would love to buy hand made jute mats from someone of the rajbanshi family
I would love to know where i could buy here beautiful pieces! 😊 if you could send me her details please. Nice greetings from Vienna/ Austria
This video is my mom and aunt I am happy this video I see sanjita is my mom 👍
Her work is so beautiful.
Thank you
Nice
Where can I buy her products online ? @sanjitasarkar2009
Can you please provide me your address or number for purchasing purpose.
It is admirable how these women make handmade products with so much passion! Lots of respect for what they do!
I'm proud of my people and immensely proud that I belong to India 🇮🇳🇮🇳 because being an Indian is not only an identity, it's a feeling.
Yes 🤍
She is my mom
@@sanjitasarkar2009 Hello,please provide any email,social media or Mobile number...i want to buy it.
@@459_nilavratbera4 'sorry ' We cannot give any details like this.
@@sanjitasarkar2009 Any website or anything...you can mail me...
Hope we are able to preserve our real tribal cultural arts while growing economically stronger.
@CORONA VIRUS ohhh.... similarly I mostly speak Hindi instead of my mother tongue Awadhi...which was way more popular than Hindi at one time...specially in literatures of medieval India. 😐
I have a jute rug in my living room and dining room. It's way more resilient than your typical carpet or rug and is almost maintenance-free. Unlike a typical carpet or rug, it doesn't soak spills making it a breeze to clean.
These jute rugs have a market that these people don't have access to yet.
I really wish they'd include contact information. Like they talk about how they take orders right? So let me place an order!
My mummy, grandmother and aunty everyone make dhokra and also use in our daily life because we are rajbanshi 🥰❤️
O wow 😲
Wow nice ek mujhe v bhej dena kamini
Hello, i want to purchase this can you guide me
I'am from west Bengal...belong to rajbanshi community... And I feel proud... 😎
Where is this located
I'm from west bengal and in the last 10 years I'm seen very very few jute factories each year goes by.
The effort and passion she puts into learning and workshops really pays off! She's amazing
Whenever I get chance I will buy jute bags and support these hard working ladies
These women should get atleast half of the average IT employee salary
I am happy that these women are from my place West Bengal, from where I belong too.
And there are too many artisans who are centered around Jute. Jute is loosing popularity due to plastic or else it was once the costliest fibre due to its usage and high demand as shipping bags for everything literally . Sturdier than cotton, waterproof, Stainproof and So strong. Jute ropes are still in use. I hope Jute gains its popularity again as in modern world, it is the solution to non-biodegradable plastic.
I think the no plastic awareness is increasing, so their efforts will be soon appreciated. Already in my city single use plastic is banned since 7-8 years, I have not seen a single simple plastic Bag in new Bombay. It’s possible to implement it in new cities or smart cities. May be in mega cities it’s difficult to replace.
But jute is never going away from human civilisation for sure.
It is clear to see that these ladies love what they do, which is so amazing!!
Why are there never links to purchase these products? They get exposure but no way to benefit from it.
That's cause these are media house reports or documentary. It's not marketing hub. Also any dispute arising between the customer and the artisan will land them in a pickle. They're only here to report not to help the artisan directly.

Thank you insider business♥️❤️
Amazing women of India.....love n wishes from South India Tamizhnaadu ❤❤❤❤
India is a land of beautiful traditions.
So proud of u Masi ❤️
Sanjita Sarkar ❤️😍
Thank you
👍👍
Can you help me, i want to buy this how can i contact them
I salute these women. It must be so scary knowing that your family's way of life is under threat and having to do everything that you possibly can to try and save it. They are incredibly skilled artisans and the transformation from raw material to finished product is a testament to their experience and skill.
Good to see they are getting recognition!
Their efforts to preserve the culture is admirable 👏👏👌👍
Heritage should not be destroyed! Hope all heritage can be kept for future generations! Kudos to your efforts! All the best!!
It would be beneficial if the contact details are provided for such artisans so that we can get in touch with them to support them. We can even buy directly from them eliminating middlemen.
Go to nearby urban haat
It's incredible. They are doing too much hard work like a machine. I know that sometimes they get hard back pain but still they are doing their job like pooja. It is really good to see and today I am proud to say that I am living in that country where these people are coming. Truly Incredible.
Proud to be a Rajbanshi ❤️
Thanks to the Insider team to bring one of our nation's pure eco-friendly product what India used to produced a lot once, but plastic industry polluted the whole nation now..
God bless them that they still maintain n withholding the heritage..❤
Government should support financially
To protect our tradition alive aginst modern industrialisation...
Thanks for showing,appreciate our Rajbangshi culture.
I watch these stories and always want to buy there products i never have the money for it though i wish i could help i love the traditions i don't always agree with the way they do what they do being a environmentalist but i love the traditional methods and want it to keep going
tell me where I can order some of these mats! Please!
Very glad to see our people getting recognised...but sad reality it only very few people from our own community today weave their own traditional clothes and day to day things by themselves.
It's bcz many people from our own community think it's such a shame to follow the roots of their ancestors.. and try to follow the bhatias( outsiders) i.e the bangalis
And it has affected our own people in very bad way...
No, your indigenous lifestyle is precious too, it’s youth like you who can inspire them,
@@Kathakathan11 eagerly working on it :))
@@yan1889 Good to know that. You must be really proud of your indigenous weaving artwork and skills. All the very best !! please go forward to help this artwork grow.👍
Wtf bangalis means? You are living in Bengal only. We are eastern ppl. And we support you why so much hate for bengalis. You ppl are Hindus so are we...
@@PrithaBhowmick-cb1czna tora support koris na. Jodi kortis tahole eder mone toder jonno eto bish bhorto na. Ami half koch half bangali. Ami eder moner kotha bujhi. Prachin kale eder upor onek otyachar koreche toder puropurush ra.
Am belonging form same community of North Bengal 'called Rajbanshi' and yes it is very traditional thing in our community jute carpet's bags etc. Many women are keep doing this in traditional way . Thank you for sharing is things in this platform ❤️
Thanks Insider business for showing this ... many many thanks 😊 🙏
Being a Rajbanshee i am really Blessed😊 thaks for making documentary on this topic, My Grandmaa used to make these jute craft perfectly 👌She had passed a long ago😭 ,God bless her🙏 please
tell me who is the father of Nara narayan
@@beautyofnortheastindia Late: shree Bishwa Singha
@@ritamroy1522 brother, please know the reality.. Rajbongshi is a fake identity,we belong to Koch tribe...be proud of being a Koch not Rajbongshi
@@beautyofnortheastindiaSo how The Rajbanshee as our identity got famous instead of Kouch? Can u describe a little about it! I actually don't know much about it
@@ritamroy1522 actually it's an artificial identity created in the 19th century, because at that time our people were facing discrimination by the Bengalis...due to this,now our people have forgotten the original Koch language, history, culture and call themselves Bengali
This is so good.. Great work on video.. 👌👌👍👍
It would be great if Business Insider would share info on how we can help, support or contact the people in these videos. Also does Business Insider give back anything from the money they make from the millions of views?
She is my own aunty .If you want to help her i can give you her details 🙏
She is my mom contact number video second coment

Great work indeed.human hands spinning magic👏👏👏
Great for keeping tradition alive.
Many thanks 👍🎉
One salute for such a hardworking women.👏
A great salute to the great women of our country.🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I expected them to talk on Rajbanshi language/dialect but it is known that they use the dominant language of the state they live in i.e., Bengali or Assamese
This woman from
India, West Bengal, kushmandi ,Mahishbathan village
@rhythm by the way she is my own mother that's why Buyers search her contact number and address
Insider Business, you have such a wonderful platform , try to add details through which people watching can help those which you have mentioned in your videos.
Very precious
This is Uber inspirational.
Actually women are real Engineers and hard working..
Slap on those people who says what women can do...
Connect them with global markets via e-commerce portals. There is significant opportunity for hand made crafts done ethically. Just making $730 a year for all that hard work is a crime.
The British empire savagely destroyed the textile industry of Bengal and caused famines. I'm glad that Bengal is recovering from the exploitation.
Great Art....need to be noticed ....
Loads of love & respect ✌️❤️🌟
Super coverages ...
Thank You insider buisness for bringing the story here.
I'm proud that I belong from Rajbangshi samaj and our such hardworking
Ooh my God, am speechless 🙊
This means hard work 💪
Thank you for sharing this story. It's unfortunate that the government let this industry die. These people deserve a much better lifestyle.
No I heard that West Bengal government and Assam government along with center have many jute related initiatives. Obviously even jute has its own board and the recent studies by ICAR are trying to cultivate more efficient jute.
These trades and skills should be preserved. 👍👏
It Our Pride and Previlege for Us,The Insider Choose One of Our Pride and Eco Friendly Golden Fibre of Bengal as Their Documentary Project....🙏
Jute is really good for winters. This video is very informative. Thank you.
I had a tote bag from jute I got from a thrift store a long time ago I loved it. It was a long time ago I miss it though.
Omg, insider in North Bengal ❤️❤️❤️

Very nice..
Breaks my heart to see how much work they do and paid so less. These products are good for environment also..
Kitna mahnat karat ba e log .vare garibi plus skill . Great
Beautiful art 🙏🙏
These tribal products should be encouraged and made available everywhere in major government outlets and other main retail outlets so that people who value these products can buy and thereby increase the income of these hardworking people
Deedi must be appreciated for all her hardwork and dedication to earn a living as well as to preserve and protect our traditions. There are so many like her who should be encouraged to earn a decent income from what they are doing. State governments should take initiative. 👏
Wow very nice
Hat's off to these women 🙏🙏
I have seen there products on fair many times but was not aware of it that its such a difficult thing to make. If I see this again somewhere I will make sure to buy it.
Obviously it is, and that’s why original ones are expensive. Rightly so
I want to contact them, can you help me
The word in English is "spinning", not rolling. Thank you for this beautiful video.
