This course is an attempt to introduce the younger Bharatiya (Indian) generation to the timeless creativity of the human hand and mind in Bharat (India). Knowledge and practices associated with craft have been an integral part of the Bharatiya (Indian) Knowledge System since the Saraswati-Sindhu Civilization. From the Pasupati seal- (circa 2350–2000 BCE) and Dancing girl (circa  2300–1750 BC) of Saraswati-Sindhu civilization to the 21st century bamboo craft of the North-Eastern Bhartiya (Indian) states, Bharat (India) has seen the finest hands synchronising with the most innovative minds. Not only did the country support a huge diversity in materials, processes, makers, and contexts in the development of crafts, but also created a strong patronage system to build a sustainable ecosystem for the craft communities. Today, Bhartiya (Indian) craft is not only a vestige of the past, but a contemporary practice of production and consumption that is sustainable, green, respects the human hand, contributes to the wellbeing of the mind, and strengthens the economy. The course, thus, establishes craft also as a contemporary discourse, a living tradition which is relevant to the modern economy as well as a sustainable lifestyle. There are fourteen Units, which cover all the aspects concerning crafts in Bharat (India) from the historical development of crafts, to the challenges different crafts (handicrafts) face in modern times, the prospect of its growth, its significance in society and human life and the cases of marvelous achievements and greatness of craft traditions.
