Bracelets made from pearls.
Today 200 fishermen arrived in Vadodara from Pakistan. The fishermen were being taken down from the train compartment in a queue. At that time, a sea farmer was swimming in something different with a pearl bracelet on his hand. Where would such a bracelet be found in a Pakistani jail? Such a question is natural. When he was asked this, the fisherman immediately replied that art cannot be looted anywhere, I made it myself and used to make it and sell it even in Karachi jail! I have sold bracelets worth 2 lakhs in one and a half years and made a net profit of 50 thousand.
had escaped to prison
Jitubhai Somabhai Bamania, who lived at Vanakbara, used to fish in the Arabian Sea. He was then captured by Pakistan Marines and imprisoned in Karachi. Apart from his wife, Jeetubhai also has two sons and a daughter in his family. After going to jail, Jeetubhai collapsed for the first few days. The other fishermen who were there fed him and he became mentally healthy again.
The officers liked it
Later Jeetubhai started working again on the art of beadwork he had mastered. Through the jail authorities, he ordered pearl work and thread on the tola and started making bracelets. The bracelets he made were so artistic that even the officials of the Karachi jail liked them and started buying them.
Used to sell bracelets for 400 rupees
Jeetubhai was given names in bracelets based on the gradient of the letters and not on his Urdu skills. Bracelets with this name were in high demand and sold for up to Rs 400 a bracelet. He used to get income from it. Jeetubhai was able to pass the difficult time of imprisonment with his skill. Now they will also make pearl bracelets along with fishing.
