Product Description
This book presents a series of perspectives on the cultural evolution of 16th century Bhuj in the district of Kachchh, India, a city that witnessed considerable destruction in the earthquake of January 2001. It provides glimpses of the city through photographs taken during the 19th century and on. Local residents describe life in Bhuj before and after Kachchh?s merger with the Indian union in 1948. A detailed overview of craft practices shows the influence of the craft producing communities on the city?s development. It also touches upon the value of heritage conservation in large-scale redevelopment. The research by Tyabji, supplemented by local contributors, shines new light on the socio-political history of Bhuj.
