Identified as a cultural village of importance by the Indian Government, Theekarda has a long crafts and agricultural history, with the people from the Kumhar caste, skilled in pottery and crafts, the primary residents of the village.
Surviving the bumpy, dusty jeep ride out to the town, we joined our tour leader, Ishok, and began to walk through the village.
The village was made up of hundreds of small, mud-brick homes, and narrow laneways, with small stalls dotted throughout the town. The streets were lively, filled with kids playing cricket and women running errands. It was a scene we’ve seen throughout our years of travels, one of peaceful rural life.
As we made our way through the narrow streets, we noticed pottery, masses of it, lining the streets and walls. Before long, we joined a local pottery maker and attempted, through broken translations and lack of skills, to make our own clay urn. While our skills left a lot to be desired, we had a truly authentic experience, and were able to better understand the importance of pottery to the village.
We learned that Theekarda, as well as others throughout India, are heavily supported by the Indian Government, keen to keep locals out of the major cities of Delhi and Mumbai. Government investment encourages the upgrade of basic infrastructure, including homes, toilets, schools and wells, as well as provisions for mobile phones and laptops.
While rural life in India is changing and modernising rapidly, it was far more developed and equal than we’d been led to believe, and it was great to see.
