The practice of producing goods to be used for local consumption had started since the dawn of civilization and slowly with the advance of culture the excess production of handicrafts and handlooms became a part of the trade, thus turning into an industry. It is thus deeply rooted in the culture and tradition of the native society as a whole. Employment of the people in craft production fulfilled their daily requirement of the family in rural as well as in urban areas. Manufacturing of the several crafts and handloom products are flourished across the villages as well as in towns. The handicrafts were primarily practiced by the craftsperson having the traditional skills and knowledge (including both skilled and semi-skilled). The productions in the field of handicrafts industries generally are rural and family-based rather than manufacturing as a whole. As a result, in India, most of the crafts are produced within families, which require manual labour and skills. This craftsmanship and the crafts reflect the artistic value and the traditional lifestyle of that particular rural area. In India, there are many highly commercialized crafts like printed textile, carpet, wooden products, handloom weaving, etc. and the export of handicraft products gradually saw an increase from the 1990s onwards.1 1 Government of India, Ministry of Textiles, Note on Handloom Sector, Office of the Development Commissioner Handloom, 2015, pp. 1-2. 1 Handloom is an integral part of the rural and semi-rural economic activities. Apart from agriculture, it is one of the largest unorganized activities. The production of handloom goods is eco-friendly and requires minimum use of mechanical power and capital. The contribution of the weavers and their skills keep the traditional crafts and handloom alive in the different state of India.2 The different terminologies being used to denote the handicrafts and handloom industries like cottage industries, household industries, handicrafts, and traditional Industries, etc. With the utilization of traditional skills and knowledge, millions of people continue the production of handicrafts goods in the world even today.3 The Government, as well as private organizations, is taking several initiatives and policies to increase the scale of handicrafts and handloom production. In this context, this research work proposes to look into the handicrafts and handloom industry in the state of Sikkim, emphasizing to seek its development, changes, and continuity as a major industry. Sikkim is situated in the northeastern part of the Himalayan region of India. The development of skills, craftsmanship and the establishment of handicrafts and handloom industries in Sikkim have long historical root. The skills in handicrafts and handloom production reflect the talent and culture of the different communities of Sikkim. Each community in Sikkim has their skills and interest in the practice of craft production as well as in weaving. For instance, the Lepcha community is skilled in bamboo-crafts, spinning of loom and weaving, similarly, on the other hand, the Bhutia 2Ibid. 3 Maureen Liebl, Tirthankar Roy, Handmade in India, Preliminary Analysis of Craft Producers and Craft Production, Economic and Political Weekly, 2003, pp.1-6. 2 community is skilled in ancient Tibetan practices of carpet weaving and rug weaving with muted shades and brilliant colours of pure vegetable dyes. The Nepali communities are famous in metal work, silverware, and woodwork. The role of the state is also prominent in the enhancement of the practice of craft making and weaving. The patronage of the government further promotes the sustainability of traditional industries and craft production in Sikkim. Initially, the people used to weave cloths and carpets by using their handlooms at their houses with the help of the indigenous equipment for self-use and sometimes they used to sell the surplus produce in the Hatts.4 In order to sustain this practice of handicrafts and handloom, the Palden Thondup Institute of Cottage Industries was set up in 1957 by the then Chogyal Palden Thondup Namgyal in Gangtok.5 In the beginning, there were only 58 trainees (local female and male) enrolled in this institute, but slowly the numbers increased with the development of scope and marketing. Similarly, the two weaving factories were also established in Lachung and Lachen, both in North Sikkim in 1976.6 In this research work the state signifies the Chogyal or Maharaja of Sikkim and the Government of Sikkim. The primary aims and objectives of this institute were to preserve the traditional arts and crafts and the traditional skills and talent of the people of Sikkim. This institute encouraged the local youths which included both boys and girls for regular training in the 4 Weekly local Market 5 Golden Jubilee Celebrations,1957-2007,Estd.9th March, Directorate of Handicrafts & Handloom, Government of Sikkim, issued by Information and Public Relations Department, Government of Sikkim, 2007, p.1 6 Sukhdev Singh Chib, This Beautiful India, Sikkim, Light & Life Publishers, New Delhi, 1977,p.49. 3 field of craft and weaving. The Palden Thondup Institute of Cottage Industries was later known as Government Institute of Cottage Industry (GICI) likewise at now, it is known as Directorate of Handicrafts and Handloom, Government of Sikkim. In this Institute, people are employed as part-time workers as well as a permanent employee. Furthermore, it is making considerable efforts in employing, the youth to be self-reliant and self- depended. The involvement of people in the field of handicrafts and handloom industry support the social and economic life of the people of Sikkim. The ideas, skills and traditional knowledge of craft production and weaving continuously transfer from one generation to the other.

The journey of 'Rikhi Ram Musical Instrument Mfg.Co' started with founder Late Pt. Rikhi Ram, who was a great musicians and one of the best known musical instrument maker. Pt. Rikhi Ram's father Pt. Gobind Ram was also a musician and had inclinations towards making musical instruments and so manufacturing of musical instruments started in the family 85 years ago. Pt. Rikhi Ram learnt sitar playing from eminent musician Abdul Harim Poonchwala. Late Pt. Bishan Dass followed in his father's footsteps and started learning sitar at a very tender age under the guidance and supervision of his father. Later, he became a disciple of world renowed sitar maestro Pt. Ravi Shankar. He also worked in the maintainance cell of A.I.R. During his tenor at A.I.R he got associated with great musicians like Ustad Allauddin Khan, Ustad Hafiz Ali Khan, Ustad Vilayat Khan, Pt.Ravi Shankar and many others. From these great Ustads Bishan learnt that the primal value of a good instrument was its tonal quality. They would often discuss these aspects of an instrument and give him useful hints. "This extra interest fired my imagination and aroused in me the urge to produce quality instruments for the maestros" says Late Pt.

  • The Sarangi Family
    THE SARANGI FAMILY 1. 1 Classification In the prestigious New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. the sarangi is described as follows : "A bowed chordophone occurring in a number of forms in the Indian subcontinent. It has a waisted body, a wide neck without frets and is usually carved from a single block of wood; in addition to its three or four strings it has one or two sets of sympathetic strings. The sarangi originated as a folk instrument but has been used increasingly in classical music." 1 Whereas this entry consists of only a few lines. the violin family extends to 72 pages. lea ding one to conclude that a comprehensive study of the sarangi has been sorely lacking for a long time. A cryptic description like the one above reveals next to nothing about this major Indian bowed instrument which probably originated at the same time as the violin. It also ignores the fact that the sarangi family comprises the largest number of Indian stringed instruments. What kind of sarangi did the authors visualize when they wrote these lines? Was it the large classical sarangi or one of the many folk types? In which musical context are these instruments used. and how important is the sarangi player? How does one play the sarangi? Who were the famous masters and what did they contribute? Many such questions arise when one talks about the sarangi. A person frnm Romhav-assuminq he is familiar with the sarangi-may have a different 2 picture in mind than someone from Jodhpur or Srinagar.

  • Classification of Indian Musical Instruments with the General
    Classification of Indian Musical Instruments With the general background and perspective of the entire field of Indian Instrumental Music as explained in previous chapters, this study will now proceed towards a brief description of Indian Musical Instruments. Musical Instruments of all kinds and categories were invented by the exponents of the different times and places, but for the technical purposes a systematic-classification of these instruments was deemed necessary from the ancient time. The classification prevalent those days was formulated in India at least two thousands years ago. The first reference is in the Natyashastra of Bharata. He classified them as ‘Ghana Vadya’, ‘Avanaddha Vadya’, ‘Sushira Vadya’ and ‘Tata Vadya’.1 Bharata used word ‘Atodhya Vadya’ for musical instruments. The term Atodhya is explained earlier than in Amarkosa and Bharata might have adopted it. References: Some references with respect to classification of Indian Musical Instruments are listed below: 1. Bharata refers Musical Instrument as ‘Atodhya Vadya’. Vishnudharmotta Purana describes Atodhya (Ch. XIX) of four types – Tata, Avnaddha, Ghana and Sushira. Later, the term ‘Vitata’ began to be used by some writers in place of Avnaddha. 2. According to Sangita Damodara, Tata Vadyas are favorite of the God, Sushira Vadyas favourite of the Gandharvas, whereas Avnaddha Vadyas of the Rakshasas, while Ghana Vadyas are played by Kinnars. 3. Bharata, Sarangdeva (Ch. VI) and others have classified the musical instruments under four heads: 1 Fundamentals of Indian Music, Dr. Swatantra Sharma , p-86 53 i. Tata (String Instruments) ii. Avanaddha (Instruments covered with membrane) iii. Sushira (Wind Instruments) iv. Ghana (Solid, or the Musical Instruments which are stuck against one another, such as Cymbals).

  • Identifying a Tribe of Sub-Himalaya : a Socio-Cultural Aspects Oftamang
    Karatoya: NBU J. Hist. Vol. 5 :41-58 (2012) ISSN: 2229-4880 Identifying a Tribe of Sub-Himalaya : A Socio-Cultural Aspects ofTamang SudashLama The society is the repository of human behavior through the ages. It reflects the ideology and various cultural dimensions of mankind. The society is also a representative of civilization and, social structure is the indicator of organized human behavior. The folk songs of the Tamang tribe start with "Amailey Hoi Amaily "1, which praised the Motherhood, and indicate that ancient Tamang society was matriarchal (Tamang: BS 2051 ). Even today the position of the women in the social activities is equivalent of men and sometime the decision of women is more influential than men. The unification of Nepal by the great king Prithivinarayan Shah2 brought the idea ofHinduization. This process led to passing of the Act of 1854, which categorized the Tamang community as 'Bhote '3 and set into the lowest category of panichal Jaat4 or Shudras of Hindu caste hierarchy. The formation of social order that took form in Nepal followed patterns presaged in the greater social history of South Asia. As Dumont recounts, those who became Shudras in Indic varna ideology were originally conceived of as servants (Holmberg: 1996:26). The inclusion of the Tamang in the Hindu caste hierarchy especially in Nepal, also reflect the significant state ideology to bring this beef eater into the order of the Hindu cultural domain. But such inclusion by the state, with the identification as carrion-beef eater gave boost to the development of Tamang's 1.
