Handmade Articles
Featured in Display
A black tiger carved out of buffalo horn, standing only
three inches high and in perfect proportion to a real tiger, is
one of the handmade articles from India that are now on dis
play in Pattee Library.
The display, presented by the Friends of India Associa-
tion, also includes u carving of a
swan made of buffalo horn; a
gold embossed, woman’s leather
handbag; a pink silk scarf em
broidered with gold thread and
lacquer and glass bracelets.
The display is on loan from the
New York Government of India
Trade Center which helps to pro
mote India’s ‘‘home industry”
the industry of hand made goods.
In India this industry, which
includes the making of saris,
shirts, lies, pots, pans, curtains
and jewelry, is very well devel
oped, said Surendrakumar Pa
tel, research assistant in mech
anical engineering from India,
who set up the display.
The native Indians usually
wear the goods because of a na
tionalist feeling which has its
roots in the years when India was
fighting for her independence. At
that time, English goods were
boycotted as a way of showing
opposition to the mother country,
Patel said.
To fill the void left by this
boycott, India's home industry
was started and the wearing of
hand-made goods became a way
for Indians io show iheir pa
triotism.
“Home industry,” thus, means
that the goods are made in the
country and by hand, though not
always in a private home. Many
of the goods are made in coopera
tively owned buildings.

The mural, which we see in
Old Main today, was painted in
two parts the stairwell in 1940,
