Few artisans say that it’s their ancestral work which they are carrying forward.As Dussehra marks end of Ravana and commemorates the victory of god over evil, a similar message is spread by these Muslim artisans as well, who for years have been destroying the Ravana of hatred and violence and promoting peace and communal harmony in the society.
