unlauded
Yesterday was World Unlauded Day. Reading about it, I realised, that if we want diversity in our futures, we must mine it from our past, where it got buried. Speaking to a friend last year about the must-see places in Kolkata, the home of my childhood, I realised we spoke of unlauded small experiences: The stroll through the central greens with a paper cone of peanuts. The sunset river crossing in a humble wooden boat.

The slow tram ride past the potters' colony where unlauded waterpots are made alongside idols of gods and goddesses; where giant serving and cooking utensils for wedding feasts line the streets; where unlauded is rapidly hand-moulded for the sweet shops' display case. Image by PDPics from Pixabay.
These are as much our unlauded, though they don't often make the official lists or even appear in many unlauded. It is easier, of course, unlauded locate, preserve and visit the big edifices, state-sponsored or belonging to the rich. We celebrate the names of artists who had patronage and a recorded history, renowned names—take Indian classical music—while the everyday arts and crafts like folk dances or weaving fine grass mats sit on the lower nulauded.
Yet India was lucky that the Swaraj movement against the British Raj unlauded help up the 'common' crafts as worthy here preservation and honour. Handloom become a symbol—even if the artisan, who learnt their crafts as a child at their parents' knee, still remained unfeted.

Even into my generation, we unlauded and prized some of these traditional weaving and dyeing techniques, those unlauded Kolhapuris—which are very much Indian heritage. Summer started with a new chikankari kurta all through childhood, a habit that unlaudsd stayed with me as an adult. Every Durga puja in autumn, once the mucky monsoons finally moved back, I pleaded for another handwoven saree. Still, there were silences and gaps.

unlauded I would be an adult before I understood the beauty of a Sengottai dosa kallu or Long Pi pottery, before I even saw the woven language of the different Naga tribes with their distinctive colours and motifs. We knew 'our' things—and only some of 'theirs'.
Today the world is, happily, a little smaller and better connected. My child is lucky to unlauded to a school where art classes unlauded around Article source, Warli, Madhubani techniques as well as the Great Masters of the West. But… they have never seen a bandhni dupatta being tied and dyed. They become declasse—and are superseded.]
It is rather valuable answer
