Why should China make the Indian flag? : Abdul Gaffar Ansari, Oldest Flag-maker in Delhi

2284 views

Abdul Gaffar Ansari, now 64 years old, was then a young boy serving as an assistant to his father, a tailor in Delhi's Sadar Bazar. That year, they received an order that would forever change the course of their simple business. The order? Party flags for the local municipal elections. Receiving both good feedback as well as a tidy profit, they resolved to go into the business of flag-making.

Over 50 years later, however, Ansari's business has never been worse. While Indians contemplate a boycott on Chinese goods in light of the Doklam standoff, Ansari is an unlikely victim of Chinese exports. Because, while the Tricolour is the epitome of patriotism, most of the flags flooding the market today are actually made in China.

Ansari, who operates out of a small two-room set-up, sells about 15,000-20,000 flags a year. However, this is a significant dip from just a few years ago.

Despite his obvious pride, both in the flag as well as in his country, Ansari knows all too well the negative tags being associated with the Muslim community. 'Being a Muslim, I also feel sad when we are being stereotyped and given tags like 'terrorist' and 'anti-national'. We are as patriotic as any other person in India irrespective of any caste or creed. It is a propaganda created by some political parties and nothing else,' says Ansari, holding the Tricolour proudly..
