Rare to find this kind of mindset in today's competitive world where businesses cooperating with each other to keep going. And the pricing is kept just right as well. Thank you for staying noble.
I think that's because these people are hardworking artisans first and not businessmen. Which is a good thing. Though i wish they could afford a better standard of living.
@@Nostalgia_Addictyeah, that is the difference. :)) They are true artisans so they value and love their work. The interviewee even said that they wanna keep working and just keeps the prices right. I love how they all work together as one industry instead of competing. They value their craft first and foremost. 💕
Exactly, i have one of these vase in our storage room, Which was in my home from the time of my grandmother. Its collecting dust now. I put it there bcs it wasn't matching the modern ambiance of my remodeled home. I had no idea this was so expensive and rare 🥺
The retailer purchases the raw materials, equipment, and is left with the overhead. The artisans always get paid but the business owner might not if nobody is buying. It's the owner who will lose everything if the business fails.
If you go into their website, the pieces actually aren’t expensive . They are selling a clock with beautiful work for $8 US dollars. That’s just one example.
I've a couple of them at my home. Someone gave them as a gift to my father. They are atleast 12-13 years old and looks absolutely new. But I didn't know about the hard work it takes to create such a beautiful stuff. Thank you Business Insider for making this video. I hope they'll get proper recognition through this video.
I was born in bidar my grandfather home just near to that shop ,I used to go through that place regularly happy to see in international RU-vid channel ,hope this beautiful art spread all over the world and make this work to get indentification.
@@Cienfuegos. as an art student I still don’t really care about abstract art. sure the artists’ thoughts/ideation of the artwork is interesting but I don’t see the deal about the actual piece itself
If you're sad seeing these beautiful traditions dying, understand your participation to the declination. In simple terms, industrialization is the short answer to this. Try buying from local people,artists or small scale businesses. They might be a bit expensive than your industrial produce, but it saves these old traditions. Don't hesitate and go ahead ,buy from small scale artisans and workers everytime you can.
I don't particularly feel bad. Thier art flourished itself by ending some other form, it about time and technology. A buyer cannot be emotionally black mailed just to keep an industry alive. That won't cut it for long either, innovation and market competition is the only way.
@@jayeshnathani6929 You know I always find morons like you here on RU-vid. I mean, giving a proper reply to you will be an insult to my intelligence. Also, If someone is gay then they are gay. It cannot be changed, I hope that knowledge helps you in life when you're parents try to emotionally blackmail you into being straight. Good luck👍🏻
@@jayeshnathani6929 Also, Picasso would be told to f*ck off if he was sitting in a back alley painting for people who don't value his art that much. Picasso became Picasso because he sold to the right crowd at the right time in the right place. That happens through innovation in business practice not by shouting MY CULTURE! MY CULTURE on the road, morons do that(people like you).
@@jayeshnathani6929 dude you need to stfu up like it’s kind, but not everyone is going to do it. Pure kindness will not save an industry, they need to play it smarter.
@@ishanbajpai6940 dang have never read so much mediocrity and leaking of knowledge. Picasso didn't see a peny on his life, was way after death when people realized what's now lost forever that's why his art it's so demanded, art doesn't has anything to see with human development or technological advance. It's another part of humanity but taking about that to someone so small and short minded as you will always be a waste of time breath and everything.
I live closeby to this place. I have conducted a study during my college for its revival but sadly my findings have only found that it's nearly impossible to sustain this practice once these artisans leave it. With short attention spans, their children are really reluctant to take up the craft. But thankfully, I have bought a few pieces which now adorn my room. All my guests ask about them, but buys it as they find it expensive.
@@vincent5981 bro , please delete if you posted any bad things about them. We indians use whatsapp, fb mostly. Only few ppl in cities use apps like discord, reddit etc. Not every Indian is a scammer. Most aren't .
@@adityasanthosh702 I have deleted my comments. If you see any that i missed tell me and I remove them. And to be clear, I received my money back altough it took several months. I think they should use e-mail or at least write on the invoice that they use whats appfor communication. But they are not scammers I got my money back and I will use them to buy that chessboard i originally wanted, when they can deliver.
Am from Karnataka and I didn't know about this art which is in our state, thanks for the video and the men who preserving the old Art still. ಧನ್ಯವಾದಗಳು ❤️

I am wondering how English channel is doing real journalism and showing what govt should notice.. where as 90% indian media is corrupted and showing article to draw the attention of public from the issue which matters
This is a problem everywhere, sadly. To paraphrase an uncle of mine, if you want to learn about a country, you have to use a news source not hosted in that country.
No, it won't. It would create a certain hype for some time but after that they would be forgotten, like many social media trends. What they need is a sustainable business infrastructure from Raw materials to market and final price. The real solution would be turning this informal industry into a formal one, which is hard but only real solution.
Recibí un plato que me regaló mi hijo. Es precioso y al ver todo ese esfuerzo para hacerlo su valor es mayor para mí. Voy a enmarcarlo para que perdure en la familia. Espero que el arte continúe . Saludos desde Puerto Rico.
I would love to own some of these pieces. I like when things are hand made. Every detail has a story. Even the mistakes are pretty somehow. But when I buy some machine made products I can't stand having even a tiny part of it being imperfect.
Problem is they don't have execess to world , and if they get any order , most of the profit will taken by big corporations , and they will get the same money what they are getting here , unfortunately ........ I live in Gorakhpur , a place known for terakota , they craftsmen sell products here soo cheaply , and the big traders makes most the profit without doing anything and these talented people remains poor , *I hope someone make some stratup which fix this problem*
@@hemasingh8033 Don't blame big corporations For illiteracy. First thing they should do is get a VAT or TIN number and register there company Next will be make there business online by registering domain names and creating a Orignal website. Problem with these guys are falling pray to NGO syndicate who act as Middle men in BTW these poor labors and Foreign market. Usually NGO act as Middle men for these artisans And eat there profits. Rather than big corporations. What they need is support and program From Local administrators like IAS or PCS Who educate them about these things And start registration of Such small scale business in India and get them Mudra loan or Monetary support as they actually deserve it. Sadly its Corrupt system and low education that failed them no capitalism.
Problem is the Chinese are already able to do the same chemical reactions and make the same items in large numbers for 20€ wholesale. Unless the artisan skill is extremely high the chinese have already control of the market.

"that like processed lime has a magnetic effecton the soil" ummm no. Most of the stuff thrown around about the properties of Bidar soil are purely myths with no scientific basis. The soils is primarily just calcium hydroxide and clay they then mix it with ammonium chloride (not aluminium trichloride as stated in the video). Really the effect is just the reaction from the limestone and ammonium chloride when its heated to 200c.
I’m 100% aware that industrial revolution was absolutely amazing for mankind but it makes me sad that how many amazing and ancient art forms are being lost
I mean, couldnt they make it using industrial process more efficiently and market it to a wider audience? They could analyze the chemicals in the soil and create an artificial chemical. They could use alternatives for zinc with some alloys that are easier to work with but produces the same effect. Also, using more efficient techniques for putting the silver, drawing more elaborate designs using computers and printing it like what we do with paper, more efficient metallurgical process and computer generated molding etc would make it at least half as cheap as it is today and will also increase customers...
@@CoolMan-ig1ol The problem with trying to make artificial methods is that you can't add time, nor minute elements that are essential to the process. The dirt itself might be releasing certain chemicals at certain rates that affect the staining the the metal, and that's something you also have to account for. There is a maturity and complex nature about soil/dirt, let alone comparing other natural objects vs synthetic/simulated ones. There are other videos on this channel that you watch, and over time you start to understand the base concepts of why certain processes, procedures, ingredients, and sourcing are so damn important. Take the curling rock episode. You can only get the granite from one island in one area. You can't simulate it. Other times it's plants and animals that need extremely specific environments to thrive or to develop. Some things you just can't break down into elemental forms.
This video seems to give some new customers for them: "Dear Customer, Due to the immense amount of order we are receiving, The Process of Processing the Order have Increased Exponentially due to which there is a slight delay in processing of the orders."

Those watches dont work, they show one specific time, like 1.30pm 🕜 for afternoon prayer,old men in the deccan india, usually wear 5 watches to remember praying 5 times a day.

This guy is proof that humans are so resilient and resourceful. This guy had no notion and no training on how to make parchment and still found a way (i.e. learning Latin) make it and make it his own.
These artists are really low paid as there are lots of high skilled artist and because of Chinese products they are loosing their industry. India produces high quality product in all sector but world donot buy our product because of high cost as compared to China. We are simple people and take pride in authentic work.

Iranians who invented this art are still doing it and they make amazing masterpieces. They also have different versions of it. But it is interesting how this art evolved separately for hundreds of years and differences between the Indian and Iranian styles. The Indian side can learn to use calligraphy and using religious texts too. That creates its own market.

@@stevetanai9669 Hey, I am an Indian and a lot of people do wear masks and all to protect themselves from any types of diseases, there are very less who work without any protection and I am unable to understand why? Have a good day
@@stevetanai9669 As an Indian, I second that. These people def do have the skills to do the job but are not well educated thus don’t follow any safety measures.
@@dv9239 I can show you 1000’s of examples on the streets of India. There is nothing wrong in accepting the truth. Not all cities are same, some are less developed and people are not that educated to understand these things neither they want to spend money on protective gear. Just for an example, a lot of working labour class ride bikes 🚴 in India but how many of them wear a helmet or a knee pad ? How many street vendors wear gloves 🧤? How many maids wear gloves while cleaning the house, toilet or doing dishes? How many workers at the construction site follow the safety protocols and have full gear? How many mechanics use gloves or earmuffs? These are just few examples there are many more!
I went to their site they have a very kind warning that they have a lot of orders and it might take a little for custom orders. I expected a lot higher prices for the vases I was interested in, but they are only around $25-$40 !!!! So little, for a handcrafted beautiful artwork...
I found one of these beauties at a thrift store. I knew it was special the moment I saw it and had to have it! Such beautiful details! Sad to see that someone just gave it away but if they hadn't done so I wouldn't be watching this video and learning its history!! So thank you for my new treasure!!!!!
That is beautiful art and if I had the money I'd make a room dedicated to it. I'm no collector, but rare art that lets us go back to when everything was a specialty made by hand is just something i have a soft spot for.

Bidar is in Karnataka, and as a kannadiga, I wasn't aware of this bidri art, thanks to business insider for searching wonderful artisans...our karnataka government should encourage this art and artists and make their life better🙂
Cause it's only market is india , People around the world , won't even know the traditional art form of India , and alot of people prefer fancy thing over this art form , it really breaks my heart when he said this generation don't respect this art form as before , I feel really sad . . Sometimes I look around me , and see how much arts are there in india but don't have access to world . . .
Guys, in order to develop abilities, protect yourself from other people's energies, the devil and eye hallucinations, you need to train your body physically like crossfit with work on boxing bags, then bad energies and black dust from bionanorobots (sometimes transparent, but it is still visible as distortions in the air with the feeling of a transparent gel around in space) will not be able to cling to your body and nerves of the eyes and you will not see and feel pain, you need to train all muscle groups so that there are no weak spots and mentally imagine how you tear apart the pain and the picture in front of your eyes with your hands, also imagine how this dust burns up turning into emptiness in this way, you mentally destroy this shit this is the beginning of super strength, exercising and fantasizing, you can develop other superpowers in yourself, but for each person individually, it will be easier to get some kind of strength (The principle of work is in the transformation of physical strength into mental strength). Also, minimize the amount of food, it is best to eat rice cooked in water like the Shaolin monks, hunger and a minimum of different flavors, you will redirect the energy from the digestion of food by the stomach to the strength you want! Another tip is to eat lemons or citric acid - (0.5-1 spoon / l dry with at least 3 cups of water, it's easier to drink and a large amount of water will reduce the overall acidity - my record is 5 spoon / citric acid per day) this will speed up your metabolism and protect against poisons, spoiled food and metal salts, if you have any questions, ask!
