Thanks so much for your thoughtful introduction to my work (and it goes without saying, to the remarkable work of these Indian village women. And I am also so appreciative of the many comments out there by other bloggers.<BR/><BR/>As you noted, I am in process of working on a follow-up book on the same material, but in far more depth. India's Daughters is a collection of profiles of 20 different Indian women taken from as many different parts of the country and different walks of life and economy as I could show in one book. It really is a book about Indian women's identity and empowerment aimed at foreign readers who have very limited access to this information. Most press and other media in the west about Indian women shows only the inequality and abuses without also showing their strengths. In this book, I try to show both as I have found them in my 36 years in India. <BR/>All of the women chosen create art at one point or another during their year, but I feature it just as a means for talking about deeper issues. <BR/>I have just finished the final edit of the manuscript and submitted the final choice of photographs to the book's designer. It will be published by Mapin (Ahmdedabad) August (2008).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-48984026039694281322007-05-02T04:12:00.000+05:302007-05-02T04:12:00.000+05:30kudos to the Doc.

It has been my ever persisting dream to record such stances of art and culture that continues to fade by.<BR/><BR/>The story of the untold basak tangail weaver, the dying art of goldsmithing by the basaks, the tribal communities of maharashtra are buried under the heaths of consumerism. Nor is such art taught in schools. May be the gaming industry should "copy'( for a lack of another word and turn them into the digital art industry. Atleast something stays by. However the intangible knowledge can still be not captured by the every blowing and booming knowledge management industry !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-75506594041067167922007-02-02T17:08:00.000+05:302007-02-02T17:08:00.000+05:30Hi Deepa, just fell upon your blog.

I am an English traveller on a 3 month tour of India. If you would like any info on what I think are travellers needs etc. then let me know. <br /><br />There is so little info in India on the net. Check out these sites in South East Asia - <br /><br />http://www.travelfish.org/ <br /><br />http://www.talesofasia.com/cambodia-siemreap-guide.htm (shows how to make money via advertising)<br /><br />It has everything from accommodation and city info. India so needs something like this. <br /><br />Email me for more info: Samikazi75@hotmail.comSam & Garry Bosworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05923805818723511215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-78595506663544488162007-01-29T02:15:00.000+05:302007-01-29T02:15:00.000+05:30Wonderful post.

Wish there would be a way to bring Indian art more into the limelight, in a way that benefits artisans.<br /><br />Recently, I visited a handicrafts mela in India, and was struck by the amazing works they had up for sale, some for even less than ten bucks. There is so much talent in Indian villages, that doesn't even make it to our own cities, let alone outside of India.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34858118.post-52121253706415954852007-01-28T20:08:00.000+05:302007-01-28T20:08:00.000+05:30Just back from a trip to Ranthambore.
