00:00In the mind of the Govind Chandra minister of the Hobochandra kingdom, the Pahadhaka shoes were popularized.
00:11This was brought up in the story of the shoe invention by the poet Rabindranath.
00:15But the story does not go anywhere.
00:18This Paduka has repeatedly taken place in the history of India.
00:21Whether it is the Paduka Purana of Ramayana Ram, or Mahabharata,
00:26this shoe is the epitome of Draupadi.
00:29But the reason does not go anywhere.
00:31Except the shoes, the entire human society is incomplete.
00:36For example, you wore a wonderful dress,
00:39you put on make-up,
00:41and you made a stove.
00:43It looks amazing to you.
00:46But you wore shoes so much that your entire look was sold out.
00:51But in this part of India, there is such a shoe invention,
00:55which is ethnic to western,
00:57which can be replaced with any outfit,
01:00complete look.
01:01The story is about Kolhapuri shoes.
01:04But the current Maharashtra or the former Maratha state,
01:08this art is very ancient.
01:11But the future is now entering,
01:14Kolhapuri shoe invention.
01:17I have been doing this work for 40 years.
01:21I was 25 years old when I learned this.
01:26I have been doing this since then.
01:28I have three generations in this.
01:30My grandfather used to do it.
01:32My father used to do it.
01:33I do it myself.
01:34We are the third generation.
01:36My grandfather used to sit,
01:38my father after him.
01:40We have been in business for 70-80 years.
01:43The business is good,
01:45but it is not as good as it should be for children.
01:49Because we don't get any help,
01:51we don't get any money.
01:53The customer bargains.
01:55We want to give the original thing for Rs.200, but we don't want to take it.
02:01Outside, we get duplicate Kolhapuri for Rs.200-300.
02:05We tell our guests that we get it for Rs.300-500.
02:10But the original thing is expensive.
02:12But the customers don't appreciate it.
02:14They don't want to buy a good thing.
02:16That's the difference.
02:17That's why we are not getting any progress.
02:20The original Kolhapuri slippers are only made of Kolhapuri tannery shoes.
02:26But now, people are spending a lot of money to buy Kolhapuri shoes
02:31and are buying plastic or foam shoes.
02:36First of all, the price is low.
02:38Secondly, there is a lot of competition.
02:41And many fashionistas are buying Kolhapuri shoes in the market.
02:47Will the existence of this ancient art of India continue in the future?
02:54The answer to this question is now being thought by the Chambra artists of Kolhapur, Maharashtra.
