Interview on MUSLIN PROJECT by Saiful Islam, CEO - Drik on Maasranga TV, 22nd June 2015

CEO of Drik and a Muslin researcher himself, Mr. Saiful Islam, was interviewed about Drik’s Muslin Project on ’Ranga Shokal’ by Maasranga Television live on 22nd June, 2015. Drik in partnership with Aarong and Bangladesh National Museum has undertaken to tell the story of Muslin, the fabled fabric of Bengal, its unique history and contribution, through a series of events and activities. Our aim is to recreate the story of this legendary textile that was used by Western and Mughal courts, raise awareness of its rich heritage and the distinctive impact it had upon the world in terms of textile artistry and global trade. It is a story that needs to be told with clarity and integrity, acknowledging the huge contribution of the unrecognized community of farmers and handloom workers that has made it possible. The Muslin being produced by Drik fulfills all the criteria of Bengal muslin in terms of fineness, high thread count and even motifs. However, it should not be confused with the legendary Dhakai muslin, which was produced from a special variety of cotton which is extinct for over hundred years.
