Description
Sabai Grass is known as ‘Babuii’ or ‘Bobai Ghaso’ locally. It is also called ‘Money Plant’ as Sabai Grass has become a source of income for communities in a region that offers little by way of economic opportunities.
While not much is known about the craft’s origin, it is said to go back only as far as the colonial, British era.
– It is believed that the British found the grass strong and durable, and thus perfect to make ropes for military use.
They used it to pull artillery and other equipment. The British used it so extensively that rope-making from Sabai Grass became the occupation for some communities in and around Calcutta.
Sabai Grass is also used in the paper industry, where it binds bundles of paper. In some instances, it is also used to make pulp. Since it is widely used, grass cutting, transporting and sun-drying provide employment to a large number of people in the regions where it grows.
