Interesting, as a longtime vegan I wasn't aware of this, and it is acutally something I would support. I wonder if ahimsa silk guqin strings exist. If anybody knows, please let me know!
Tussar needs more marketing locally as well as internationally, Like Benarasi.
I personally like the look and texture of tussar silk. Happy to know it is Ahimsa Silk.
We must prioritize wearing clothes made up of natural fibres.. They are not only more comfortable but also create far less pollution than those polyester junk....
Only india produce four types of silk
Mulberry silk
Eri silk
Tasar silk
Muga silk
Proud to be a part of bhagalpur silk industry
Tussar silk should be promoted in India and the West as cruelty-free silk. In Hinduism only Tussar silk products and other cruelty free clothes have been advised to be worn durin ceremonies.
No , Only Muga Silk is adviced.
The same is used in Kanchipuram Sarees and all Those Royal Sarees and all.
Especially we Indians of South love the Original Silk .
And nothing can replace the Original Muga Silk...
Namaskaram 🙏🏻
@@aadithyanc.k is it cruelty free?
@@anant-saini No , It's not ☺️
@aadithyanc.k whatever silk maybe. Back then moths were not killed. Mughal rule and British rule has mass production. So mass killing of moths.
This method should be practiced in other areas as well.
It's bhaa-gal-pur. भागलपुर
Thanks🙏 for the informative video
Promoting it as Cruelty free is needed
No
Only Muga Silk
This is amazing 😍
Should be encouraged for them ❤️
Thank you so much for telling us the proper name of this. Though I have normal silk threads, I am very aware that it did cost lives to make, and i never waste it casually. The ability to have a cruelty-free silk is indeed wonderful and worth supporting. Thank you.
Very informative
Beautiful 🐉

As how the original Petrol can't replace the Duplicate factory made Petrol..
The same way the original W0rm Silk can never replace this ah!msa Silk

Si why do not they make the silk same way every where?
Bhagalpur will shine one day
Vegan Silk
No! . Just less evil .
@@superfluous5162 how it's evil ?
Isn't Eri Silk the original fabric of peace? Which started the process of ahimsa silk?
Jain-friendly 😀
Kosa= Silk ,Good innovative
Reality of Ahimsa Silk in Tasar sericulture means, when the Tasar Silk moths emerged out from the cocoons, the left over silk cocoon shell will be used to make spun silk or reeling silk. In this process, after the metamorphosis of silkworm pupae as moth the tasar silk moth will come out from the cocoon and the empty and opened up tasar silk cocoons will be used for making tasar spun silk, which is also called AHIMSA SILK. However, for continuous tasar silk filament, the tasar cocoons. will be coocked along with the pupae and used for reeling purpose, in which the pupae is killed. This category of tasar silk will not come under Ahimsa Silk.
It doesnt really show how they transform the shorter threads into long threads...
Eri silkworm silk called the ahimsa silk
Can i get the number of tussar cocoons supplier
Maine suna hai ki woh North k bahar aane se pehle isliye boil karte Hain taki silk mai kale dabhe na pade
Clear Karo kya sach hai?
I read that eri silk worm silk is cls ahimsa is tussar silk
I had stopped buying silk because of its harvesting method...but as m getting married,m getting all /only silk saree from my mother in law..I cannot deny ...nd now I get this video.. making me guilty again...
There's always nylon silk
@@kungfupanda7052 the problem with nylon silk is it s not biodegradable...I just got to know that rayon silk are more biodegradable than cotton
When pupa is still in there in boiling , how it is Ahimsa silk?
No, pupa is still inside while boiling in other silks, here in tussar silk, cocoons are boiled only after moths have emerged from them that's why it's called ahimsa silk.
Hope this helps!
Didn’t get the point even after moth emerged, it is boiled. Isn’t boiling harm the lives of moths??
@@Ritu924emerge means come out
🤔👉😂🥰🔔
Can anybody see their pain
Tussar industry destroyed by previous governments in bhagalpur
THATS A LIE. many Tussar threads comes from killed cocoon too. So AHIMSA SILK is process, not cocoon
No to Ahimsa Silk 🥴
Yes to Mulberry Silk 🥰
