Abstract
The conventional predominance of the Bengali Swarnakars in
jewellery making is on the wane as the non-Bengali karigars are
taking their place. Making jewellery is no longer a caste occupation
in the Hindu social order as non-swarnakars are also finding a place
in the craft. Counted in the informal sector the karigars are subjected
to the crudest form of exploitation which leads to their alienation at
work place. The elements of estrangement pervade their family and
social life.
