The people of Kasgarh community are busy playing with the soil as soon as they wake up in the morning. Family members are not found empty handed. Some are busy making clay material with the help of electric cycle, while others are busy in drying, cooking, kneading the clay and some are busy in selling the prepared clay material. This is the daily life of Kasgarh community.
There are about a dozen Kasgarh community living in Gulria Municipality Ward No. 7 and 8 Bhansar Road. The profession of this community, which embraced the ancient profession, has been declining in recent times. Kasgarh community is getting worried after the use of earthenware has started to decrease in the last few years.
Ancestral Kasgarh community says that it is difficult to support the family after working hard in the profession and reducing the income. People of this community are being forced to adopt other professions as they find it difficult to meet their expenses by embracing their ancestral profession. Even though they are busy with their traditional profession in the evening and morning, they are forced to drive auto rickshaws and go to brick kilns to work in the afternoon.
The Kasgarh community puts ready-made items in front of their houses for sale. The Kasgarh community has been making earthen urns, lamps, lamps, money collectors, children's toys, etc. Recently, the number of people coming to buy earthen materials is gradually decreasing after the use of plastic, glass, steel and fiber pots, said Nisa Kasgarh, a witness of Gularia Municipality-8.
"There is no business like before," she said, "We need investment to do other business, we don't have that." Showing the clay material ready for sale, she said, "Look, everything is piled up like that." There are not many people who take it.
40-year-old Nanbabu Kasgarh of Gulria Municipality-7 said that the soil is always tangled because there is no farm. "You can't even leave your old profession," he said, "if you don't leave it, it's difficult to live a daily life." Making his face dark, he said, "The cost has touched the sky." A trolley of soil for 7 thousand rupees, 7 100 per quintal of husk and 300 per quintal of preparation material should be bought firewood. Prepared clay material is sold cheaply. In this profession, you have to work hard, invest more, and the income is less.
Rajabali Kasgadh of Gulria Municipality-8 said that the traditional profession is in crisis from all sides because of lack of profit according to hard work and investment. "The use of clay material is decreasing and it is not being sold," he said. But today it is not like that. Soil cannot be brought from government land. If the soil bought at high cost is not good, both effort and investment will be wasted. 30% of the soil in one trolley is spoiled. Due to adulteration in the soil, the material made breaks when cooked,'' he said.
According to the Kasgarh community, earthen lamps are sold more during Diwali in the district, and they are used for religious functions such as weddings and bratabandhan. Similarly, the puja material dealers of neighboring districts including Surkhet, Kailali and Dang. They demand clay material.
