Improving lives of weavers essential to sustain Jamdani industry: Experts

Workers are weaving Muslin sarees at the Dhakai Muslin House at Narayanganj's Tarabo. At the height of its fame, a yard of fable fabric of Dhaka once could fetch prices ranging from £50 to £400, equivalent to roughly £7,000 to £56,000 today, with even the best silk costing 26 times less. But in the face of British greed and brutality, the industry soon crumbled. Now, if sold, the muslin will again fetch a premium. Photo: Rajib Dhar
