The book tells the story how Varanasi weavers are suffering in the globalised economy, where the demand for their exquisite product is shrinking in the market faced by the onslaught of cheap imported alternatives. Government’s insensitivity and Civil Society Organisation’s slackness had worsened the situation pushing the weavers to brink of survival to face hunger, joblessness, gross underemployment, impoverished living conditions, chronic ailment and exploitation.
