Will the Kunbi weave survive?

Babu rao Babaji Tilve’s face lights up as he takes down the tarpaulin covering his loom and weaving tools. “I closed this loom down in 2015. A mild paralytic stroke weakened my legs, otherwise I would have gladly continued to weave till my last breath. This is the sacred legacy of my father that I served honestly for 68 years,” says the 85-year-old master craftsman.
