Sample Answer:
- Well, India has a rich culture and different regions have their traditional items.
- Here, I would like to talk about a very famous traditional product that belongs to Punjab, which is the Phulkari.
- The Punjabi term, Phulkari is made of two words: Phul means flower, and Akari means shape.
- A phulkari is traditionally made on cotton cloth by making floral designs, motifs, and geometrical shapes through embroidery work.
- Phulkaris are made by highly skilled craftsmen and are available in various colors and patterns.
- For many centuries, phulkaris are given away by mothers to their daughters at the time of marriage, which is a tradition in Punjab.
- I have to say phulkaris are worn by almost all ladies for special occasions like bridal attire, weddings, grand parties, traditional events, etc.
- Wearing a phulkari with a Punjabi suit gives them ethnic look.
- Phulkari is used by ladies only, so I did not try it as I’m a boy.
- But, my mother and sister also have some phulkaris, which they like to wear on special programs, like marriage functions.
- I must say they feel more than happy when they take a phulkari with their favourite dress.
- I like this traditional object more than any other because phulkari represents Punjab’s culture.
- At the same time, the use of phulkari in modern era helps to keep it alive for new generations.
- Moreover, it also provides the earning opportunities to craftsmen, who are making these kind of traditional products from decades.
- Therefore, Phulkari is the traditional object of my region Punjab.
Follow Ups:
- Describe another traditional product from your country (apart from what you spoke about)
There are many other traditional items from my nation, but I would like to mention Punjabi jutti. These products are handcrafted by experts and are made of pure leather. Some people wear Punjabi juttis everyday while other like to wear on special occasions.
- What are the benefits of traditional products to locals?
There are multiple benefits of traditional products to local people. Firstly, they can provide them earning opportunities when they make and sell them. Then, they can stict to their roots and culture when they make such products.
- Do you think the government should help in the promotion of traditional products?
Definitely, the government should promote traditional products. If the authorities don’t provide financial support to traditional products and its makers, they can’t be alive for next generations. This way the culture and tradition of a region would die soon.
- Do you think because of globalization countries are adopting each other traditions.
Yes, due to globalisation, most countries are following new traditions. This can be easily seen by looking at the lifestyle of clothes of people, which has been highly influenced by the western culture.
