00:00There is a lot of nostalgia associated with the Bengalis.

00:06Among them, the most famous is the boat trip.

00:09In the Ganges or river, the boat trip is a different kind of experience for the Bengalis.

00:15However, there is no permanent relationship with the boat in urban life.

00:21Once upon a time,

00:23Patam, Dingi, Lampapadi, Bachari, Nairi, Ilsha, Saudaguri, Kosa, Gayana, Panshi, and many more.

00:32At that time, there were two great warriors.

00:36At one time, they were Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai Tata, Mahindra, Mercedes, BMW, or Audi.

00:45Different names, different values, different prices, different needs.

00:51But now the picture has changed completely.

00:56Now only the boat has kept the bond of the people of the river and the village.

01:02If necessary, many people still come to this village of Hooghly in search of boats.

01:09Yes, not in the city, but in a village in Hooghly district, the story of boats is hidden.

01:18About three and a half hundred years ago.

01:22The ship from Hooghly to the village was a cargo ship.

01:27After that, the cargo that came on the ship was taken to Dingi by boat.

01:33Again, the cargo from the village was needed to take the ship to Dingi.

01:39And that's why a factory was built near the village.

01:45Which is now in a dilapidated state.

01:48Previously, boats were made from wood from Sundarbans.

01:52Now, boats are made from the wood of Babla Sirish.

01:58It takes only 10 days to make a boat.

02:03Among the tools used to make a boat, the best is Batali, Haturi, Karat, Bash, Jolui, Kurul, Tanga.

02:13The teacher of Bijoy Krishna College in Balagore and the historian Partho Chattopadhyay have been discussing the boat making here for many years.

02:24He knows that the boat here is made by tying a rope, i.e. tying a wood with another wood in a special way.

02:35In this way, you don't need a rope.

02:38Now, everything is made using ropes.

02:41Kalipatopadhyay, a boat maker from Balagore, has told us how the boat is made.

02:48We tie a rope to the boat using a rope.

02:55We tie a rope to the boat using a rope.

03:03We heat the rope and tie it to the boat using a rope.

03:12We tie a rope to the boat using a rope.

03:21We tie a rope to the boat using a rope.

03:28How many people can stay in a big boat?

03:36In a big boat like this, 100 people can stay in it.

03:43If 100 people stay in a boat, the average size of the boat is 1.5 to 2 people.

03:51So, if 100 people stay in a big boat, it is called ferry service.

03:55In our region, the average size of a boat is 500 people.

04:00In Kolkata, the average size of a boat is 500 people.

04:03In our region, the average size of a boat is 100 to 150 people.

04:07So, if the number of people in a boat increases, it becomes risky.

04:09Yes, if the number of people in a boat increases, it becomes risky.

04:12What about fishing boats?

04:14There are two or three people in fishing boats.

04:17Sometimes, there are four or five people in a boat.

04:20It is not bad for the boat.

04:22But, if there are four or five people in a boat, it is not good for the boat.

04:27This is the oldest boat building in Bhugli district.

04:31This building was demolished yesterday.

04:34This boat building is the origin of Bhugli's boat building.

04:38But, today, this boat building is in disrepair.

05:38Raja Tapadhar, the boat builder of Balagarh.

05:42I am 34 years old.

05:46My father and grandfather built this boat building.

05:49I have heard a lot of jokes about boat building.

05:52I have seen it too.

05:54I have been doing this for 17 years.

05:58There used to be 32 boat buildings.

06:02Now, there are only 8.

06:04I don't understand the situation of the boat builders.

06:10The boat builders are not learning.

06:12This is a first level problem.

06:14They are not able to work.

06:16There is no water in the river.

06:19There is no fish in the river.

06:21How will they make money?

06:23Why is the demand for boat building so low?

06:25There are no fishes in the river.

06:28People depend on the boat builders.

06:30What will the boat builders do?

06:32The boat builders who used to work at the food court are now on the lower board.

06:36The Government is giving them the board.

06:38No one wants to work for the boat builders.

06:40They are not willing to give us the boat.

06:42They will hire people to work for the boat builders.

06:44No one is learning from the boat builders.

06:46The boat builders are no longer working.
