The evolution of the Indian handloom industry dates back to the Indus valley civilization which exemplifies the country's cultural diversity and highlights the craftsmanship of the nation's weavers. Weavers in India have initially had a strong bargaining position. Although in recent times, these handloom weavers grew economically backward as the industrial revolution eroded their bargaining power, and the notion of handlooms shifted from a cultural endeavor that provided high returns to a barely sustainable activity. Since independence, many government measures have attempted to revitalize the Indian handloom industry. Fashion Designer, Sujit Meher is one such person working diligently by taking the initiative of reblooming the Indian handloom industry.
