Watch: At a time when Kashmir’s traditional crafts are slipping into decline, Zameer Hussain and his wife, Rukhsana continue Wagov weaving amid neglect and fading relevance. Once central to everyday life, the craft now survives on the margins. Reported by Shoaib Nazir for Kashmir Life, with camera and edit by Dar Shahid, the story documents a quiet effort to keep a disappearing tradition alive.
Jaya Bachchan in conversation with Barkha Dutt - The bit about her father being a journalist and why she hates paparazzi? Suddenly everything makes sense now.
Hats off to your lens work which froze these👇 MOMENTS forever.
Artisan hands stained in sweat and generations of toil.
Thank you for showing the world the unseen heroes of Kashmir Craft. Deep respect @firdousnazirr#handmade#heritage
