A RESOLUTE GLOBAL ENDEAVOUR TO PROTECT TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE: CONCERNS FOR TRADITIONAL ART AND CRAFT IN KASHMIR
Keywords:
TRADITIONAL ART, culture, tribal affairsAbstract
Art and artisanship is a cherished heritage of the people of Kashmir and a substantial support to its economy. It is distinctly remarkable that the spiritual benefactors as well as certain rulers have made efforts to support the people of Kashmir by promoting the artistic works by making them popular in aristocracy and other well to do circles within and outside the Indian subcontinent. They have also helped them by expanding their nature of art and promotion of more and more skills. This sense of responsibility of those rulers and spiritual benefactors is a role model to have a parallel in modern concept of state responsibility. Development of wood carving The art of wood carving has developed and flourished in Kashmir under the fostering care of Budshah, Sultan Zain-ul-Abidin who, during his reign, patronised art and attracted artisans from the then splendid art centres of Samarqand, Bukhara and Persia. He, according to the Sultan’s court chronicle, Pandit Srivara, provided all amenities of life to those foreign craftsmen and they popularised their art and craft among the people of Kashmir. The wood work of the ‘Muslim period’ bears an eloquent proof of the fact that this art received a great stimulus under the Sultans of Kashmir.
