In certain villages of West Bengal, the rural economy is driven by rather unusual professions. One cluster of craftsmen churns out wigs, another lights, polo balls, boats, shuttlecocks, and jeans. This book chronicles the story of six such rural areas. It celebrates the indomitable spirit of enterprise of rural craftsmen.
