CONCLUSION
In the globalised world of fashion India scores because we have craftsmanship that the West
does not. This is our USP and thats what we need to focus on. Mijwan is a microcosm of
what India has to offer the world. We have a long history of the warp and weft of design
aesthetics.
It is heartening that the craftsmanship skills of Mijwan, are being recognised the world over.
Their work goes to Mumbai Lucknow and USA.
Its time we rediscover ourselves and go back to our roots.
Today Mijwan is a model village. But it was a long and ardous journey filled with obstacles
that had to to be faced with many a hurdle from vested interests. Once when Shabana asked
her dad, ' Abba don't you get frustrated when change doesn't occur at the pace you want it
to ?' he answered with equanimity, 'bete when you are working for change, you should build
into that expectation the possibility that the change might not happen in your lifetime. But
you must have the conviction that if you carry on working with dedication then the change is
bound to occur - even if it happens after you'.
