In the rural pockets of East Africa, Malaysia, and the islands across Vietnam and Indonesia, the local artisans still cling to their ancestral occupation, sewing art with their bare hands. They walk to the forests, fetch wood, and bring it home. Then the entire family sits, carves, etches, chisels, and paints together, giving shape to traditional artefacts. These scenes were enough to inspire Shyam Chittari to conceive the idea of bringing together such handmade pieces from scattered corners of the globe under a brand he named Bagus a word that means goodness in Indonesian. The alarming fact that the planet is becoming a dumpyard of plastics, and people are preferring cheaper products over the sustainable ones, propelled him to structure the intangible ideas he had into the brand. Shyam, the director of the Bengaluru-based home dcor brand, says, During my course of travels, I thought of delving into the creative side of the products, and also trying to market a sustainable and eco-friendly product, which is a tough call in todays market. The timeless crafts These products are whittled down from natural resources wood, rattan, bamboo, jute, leaves, twigs, roots, banana fibres, palm and coconut trees, etc. Each piece is unique, essentially single products, because they arent machine-made. Shyams labour-intensive process is behind their creation. For example, one of the resources, driftwood, is found on the shores. He explains, Most of the wood used is Albizia, which is washed off during heavy rains or typhoons. The artisans go in search of the wood, bring it home, and go ahead with the making. Shyam says, We have the art, we have the skills we just need to curate them. The journey begins with the material. He narrates, The soapstone used in some artefacts comes from a far-off mine in Kigali, East Africa. From there, the team travels to specific villages where artisans, who have practiced this craft for generations, carve the stone into animal figurines. We go there ourselves, identify some vendors, and invest in them. The process, according to him, is time-consuming and tedious. But the deeper concern is that these artisans were neglected, and hence, today, this art is dying. He fears that in the next three to four decades, such art forms will vanish. There is a faster world out there, and people are moving away from tradition, he says, pointing to the pressures of urbanisation. Yet, he speaks with hope. One of the messages he brings back from Indonesia is deeply rooted in their culture. They are communal by nature, peace-loving people; they stick to their history, he says. And in that, he sees a reason to believe these traditions may yet endure. The business is a good source of income for the artisans, as the deal is with the artisans directly. There is no middleman who would otherwise, squeeze in the profit. Thus, the artisan gets the entire advantage. Over the past one and a half years, he says, he has built a good equation with the artisans. They are very genuine and honest, he shares, stressing that relationship-building is one of the key elements of the deal. Many of the artisans he works with are women bamboo workers, rattan weavers, and terracotta plate makers. He says, East Asia essentially is a matriarchal society, and women have greater influence over work and family affairs. Almost 50% of the local artisans are women. Since there are no machines involved, the production takes longer, and the turnaround time for each product is, he says, about four to five months. So Im able to do only two cycles, he adds. He emphasises that most of the products go to the West. The concept and appreciation of art there, he notes, is different from Indians. Some of the significant products are terracotta pans, glass blown vases, jute/rattan wall frames, handcrafted statues, and memorabilia. Some want African figurines, or a Ganesha idol; we Indianise it to suit the clientele. When it comes to India, the market is price conscious. Though the orders placed in India are scarce, he expresses his excitement over a recent order that had come from the hinterlands of Nagaland. He hasnt ventured into Indian artisans yet, as he thinks the Indian market is flooded, and there is a lot of focus on replicating one item. But gradually, he eyes on expanding the reach. Shyam advocates the use of natural materials like stone and wood at home, too. Earthy colours, brickwork, stonework, woodwork, he believes, are timeless elements. We have a range of more than 60-70 products, each variable in terms of size. But no products are the same. Shyam emphasises that the brand would like to cultivate age-old art forms. As someone who has travelled to over 50 countries, the experiences he has gathered of old cultures, tradition-loving people, and their connection to heritage crafts have shaped his commitment to working closely with artisans and supporting the continued creation of handmade artefacts.

Governors' approval of bills was delayed in 2024 for many states, says think tank report
NEW DELHI: Amid an ongoing debate following the Supreme Courts recent verdict in the Tamil Nadu case setting a deadline for granting assent to bills, the think tank PRS Legislative Research on Thursday released its report highlighting significant variations in the time governors took to give assent to bills in 2024. The report noted that around 18 per cent of bills across states took over three months to receive final clearance. In its report, PRS Legislative Research stated, In 2024, state legislatures passed more than 500 Bills and scrutinised their state budgets, cumulatively worth about Rs 58 lakh crore. After analysing the functioning of 31 state legislatures in 2024, PRS found that assemblies sat for an average of 20 days, amounting to approximately 100 hours in total. And during these days passed more than 500 Bills and the budgets worth Rs 58 lakh crore, the report said. It added that Odisha held the highest number of sitting days at 42, followed by Kerala with 38 and West Bengal with 36. In contrast, Manipur which is under President's Rule, met for only 14 days, Nagaland for six, Sikkim for eight, and Arunachal Pradesh for 16. As the Constitution mandates legislature to meet at least once in six months, only eleven states met this requirement through short sessions that lasted for one or two days, the report stated.

Of over 500 bills, just 22 were referred to committees across seven states, with reports on 15 of them presented to their respective assemblies.As an example, it noted that 12 bills in Kerala were referred to Subject Committees. It also revealed that 28 states, on average, discussed their budgets for seven days. Kerala and Goa spent the most time on budget discussions, dedicating 18 days each, followed by Odisha with 16 days, Gujarat with 14, and Rajasthan with 13. On the other hand, six states including Madhya Pradesh, Punjab and Telangana, debated and passed their budgets within just two days. The Annual Review of State Laws report released by PRS on Thursday observed that in states such as Arunachal Pradesh, Bihar, Delhi, Mizoram and Rajasthan, all bills received assent within a month. Across states, 60 per cent of bills obtained the governors assent within a month. In 2024, across states, there was wide variation in the time taken by governors to give assent to bills, the PRS report stated. States where a significant proportion of bills took more than three months to receive assent included Congress-ruled Himachal Pradesh (72 per cent of bills), Trinamool Congress-ruled West Bengal (38 per cent), and Sikkim (56 per cent). Of all bills passed in 2024, 18 per cent received assent after more than three months. This includes bills still awaiting assent as of April 2025. The Tamil Nadu government had earlier approached the Supreme Court regarding 12 bills pending with the governor, which the legislature had passed between 2020 and 2023. After receiving notice from the court in 2023, the governor returned 10 of these bills to the assembly. When the legislature passed them again, the governor reserved the bills for the Presidents opinion. These bills remain pending. Some states have had issues with summoning of session and governor's address, the report noted, pointing out that assembly sessions begin when the governor summons the House and end when the governor prorogues it. In 2024, sessions in Delhi, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal continued for more than six months without prorogation, with long intervals between sittings. In Delhi and Tamil Nadu, a session lasted from February to December 2024, with 18 sittings in Tamil Nadu. In West Bengal, a session that began in July 2023 had not been prorogued as of May 2025. In Tamil Nadu, in February 2024, the governor refused to deliver his address to the assembly and walked out of the House, a similar incident occurred in January 2025. It is notable that on 8 April, the apex court issued a verdict concerning the powers of governors in handling bills, as contested by the Tamil Nadu government. For the first time, the Court stipulated that the President should decide on bills reserved for her consideration by the governor within three months of the reference being received. Subsequently, on 13 April 2025, President Droupadi Murmu invoked Article 143(1)a provision rarely usedto seek the Supreme Courts opinion on whether judicially-imposed timelines could govern the Presidents discretion in dealing with bills passed by state assemblies. The Centre opted for a presidential reference instead of requesting a review of the verdict, a move that has triggered sharp political reactions.
