India’s Handloom Challenge
The Indian weaver is dismissed in high places as an embarrassing anachronism, despite demand for his or her skills and products.

Analysing today's crisis in the handloom sector, plagued by low-cost imitations from power looms, this article points out that we are caught in a meaningless dichotomy that could damage Indian handloom's unique reputation of coming from a system unmatched for delivering genuine sustainability.
