So guys, yesterday, I went to Jaipur old city just to give myself a walk around. while roaming around I saw few of the people working on something. They were out sitting on their doors while creating bangles.
Poor people, trying to make their living working that late in the evening. I was tempted to see their work and hence started having conversation with them.
Later, I came to know that they were making their living by putting beads in the circumference of the bangle. The beads were so tiny in size, that it was difficult for a little old man to put them there. Even more was the amount of concentration to put them there.
Here are those tiny beads that are needed to be put on the bangle
a closer look to the process
The final outcome
Though the final outcome is incredibly beautiful and colorful, but it consists of it's own share of sad thing.
The workers, working there get to paid 0.25 Indian rupee. They make approx. 200 of these a day with generated them total income of Rs. 50 which is less then a dollar a day.
Even more sad thing is. them not knowing that they are being exploited and one trying to explain them would hear the fear of loosing their current earning as a reply.
I, here would suggest you people to buy these bangles at a fair price and even that from these people itself. Because now you too know, what is behind these beautiful bangles !!!
Come to India I would say, and experience colors.
Thank you :)
