Kashmiri Dyeing Fabric Labour In Decline
Farooq Ahmad (right) and Tariq Ahmad Posh (left) dye threads inside a dyeing center in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on December 16, 2024. Kashmiris dye fabric and threads manually for around two centuries. The practice declines as the manual labor involved in dye creation takes up other professions and often takes its toll on the workers. (Photo by Firdous Nazir/NurPhoto)
