In the 1980s, during the Indo-Pak war, many people migrated from Pakistan to India. Around 2500 of these families belonged to the Bhil-Meghwal community. Some of which can be found in Jaisalmer, Rajasthan. Around 25% of the people are farmers, and the remaining 75% are in daily wage work or cloth selling, welding work etc. Two crafts are practised in this area: the palm leaves utensils and Kashidakari embroidery. Tissue Culture Date palm plants were made available to farmers of selected 12 districts of western Rajasthan on subsidy under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana. Date palm is suitable in Western Rajasthan as it can grow well under adverse climatic conditions. This plant is very hardy and can also tolerate saline water available in Western Rajasthan, where no other crop can be produced. Jaisalmer and Barmer areas have sufficient heat units and are fortunate enough. First, the palm leaves (Khajur) are dried thoroughly. Then they are soaked in water to be able to bend easily. The sticks are stacked, and the leaves are weaved around it, giving it the required shape. The material sourcing the pigment used to colour the basket is powered, mainly using three colours, pink, purple and green. The colours used are permanent, so when dried, it does not leave any stain.
