The act. Its protectionist. Lifting this will make these handloom people compete against cheap, mass/machine produced good and can put them easily out of market. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd =1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CB8QFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fhandlooms.n ic.in%2Fwritereaddata%2FUploadFile%2FAct%25201985.pdf&ei=AaQ 3VejGDqu0sATn2oGoAQ&usg=AFQjCNHHRAVCUzZ_oaNf41loJnxV6yzusA&b vm=bv.91071109,d.cWc | ||

One question you need to ask is is the Act really protecting handlooms? Or is it dragging them down. Second question is what does this do to the Potential of India being a manufacturing hub? Handmade goods demand a premium in the world, Handlooms USP would be that, The govt will take steps to leverage that by making them accessible to the world market place. | ||

Why not give power looming to chenetha kaarmikulu and give them training as part of skill up gradation. Let them produce hand loom and power loom, both. Hand loom act amendment to allow only these families to power loom. | ||

Supporting Hand-loom workers is critical but they should also come out of this dependence on govt and find a sustainable way. I also agree with Filmbuff here as it shouldn't be deemed separate from other field. There should be competition and the end-user is who matters. Industries should strive on end-users choice and not the other way. Be Kool  | ||

I agree Handloom Loki machines osthe it will no more be handloom but how does it matter ..... Imitation cheeralu cheap gaa dorukuthunnai ani original brand cheerala giraaki kaani pricing kaani taggaledu kadaaa........ In fact original vaati prices perigaay and those who can't afford originals are going for imitation..... Same can be replicated here too, only missing thing is a brand value for handlooms..... Chennai Bangalore places lo konni grounds exclusive for rajasthani, gujarathi exhibitions..... Assalu akkkada prices choosthe dimma tiruguthundi (for my range).... FIL intlo oka corner lo srikrishnudu bronze statue untundi.....monna eeee exhibition lo same piece choosi entha raa ante 35k annadu..... Handloom Loki bronze enduku ochindi anakandi concept same..... Oka brand value/gurantee lekundaa veelaki velu position kontunnaru.... Repoddunna machine made ochinaa, if handloom industry can create brand identifiers and create a niche market and tap them (market is there, they just have to streamline) that would be more profitable and sustainable for them..... keka link: fikileaks, | ||

Irrespective of numerous pale imitations of a Louis Vuitton bag or a Rolex watch, the price of the originals never falls...the demand for them never comes down, in fact the Luxury industry is going through a gravity defying boom in sales, profits and market cap. I was surprised to see that the market cap of a Hermes is more than say a company like Yahoo. Anyway, that apart, if you want to protect these industries, give them a GI tag so that only people in that region, registered with some local body etc can make or sell a Pochampally or Mangalagiri...but don't tell them that you have to make it only on a handloom or powerloom etc..it is easy for us to say that, but most of the next generation family members do not want to continue in this field...instead of killing the industry, if you can produce the same output with 2-3 people with 10 people, it will benefit the family in the long term. | ||

Fail to understand the need for a cheaper version of handloom when there are so many cheap mass produced alternatives on the market already..there is no dearth of machine woven cottons and silks.. What powerloom industry wants to do is to capitalise on the brand handloom industry has built ...its like imitation designer handbags that flood the market - and when imitations come into the market the demand for higher priced original goes down further... So telling the handloom industry to differentiate themselves and taking the differentiator away is hypocrisy.. Handloom industry needs to expand their horizons , this I agree , but that cannot be done if you take away their current market...

What the weavers need is a lot of reskilling - try to made new age designs, upholstery fabrics, a Zara-like frequent design changes etc. Anthe kani, mee brathuku ki inthe, savandi ante saripodu.
Btw - check out https://www.jaypore.com/ They are a bit like Etsy, focussed only on ethnic wear, home decor etc. Excellent quality products, priced on the higher side but worth it. These are the kinds of products handloom weavers should try to make. | ||

Why should the common man have to pay through his nose for some handmade products when cheaper versions of the same can be made available at a fraction of the cost..does the common man care if his bedsheet was made on a powerloom or handloom, there might be a marginal difference in quality but will he be willing to pay 2-3 times more Instead of reservations and banning, one should develop a market for each - handloom products can be sold as a premium, handmade, organic blah blah with a price significantly higher as we find in a Fabindia, Dastkar etc etc. Give them an outlet to distribute their products through the web. Also let powerlooms into the same field so that the common man does not have to overpay. And i wonder why the handloom industry needs to be treated differently - wasn't the same argument made on computers taking over clerical jobs or tractors replacing farm hands...ultimately what matters is economic surplus being created. Keeping millions of handloom workers on their machines is nothing but underemployment. | ||

powerlooms operate chesedi kuda weavers ey kada bhayya. Anyway its very easy to make out the difference between hand made & powerloom made. Rolls Royce vs Maruti type comparison avuthundi. Pochampally would have been history if not for powerlooms so its not all that bad. Aam junta ki out of reach prices vunte no amount of IP protection will help weavers. Handlooms at present can only be afforded by upper middle class junta. The reason we struggle with insecurity is because we compare our behind-the-scenes with everyone else’s highlight reel. | ||

Why is this movement to remove the protection of handloom patterns being encouraged now ? Does make in India only apply to the industrial lobbies who have clout ?
