Thrown out of school for being unable to pay fees; faced with abject poverty and life’s litmus tests, he did not surrender. By sheer grit and perseverance, today, Dar is an acclaimed name in the artistic tradition of wood carving.
“My father had a small business, until he suffered great losses there. I was about 10 years old then, studying in 3rd or 4th grade. Failing to pay fees, I was thrown out of school,” Ghulam Nabi Dar hailing from Safakadal area in downtown Srinagar tells us.
He says his maternal uncle took him and his younger brother to a wood carving unit at Sarai Safakadal to learn the craft.
