Meet Kashmirs blind quilt makers

Two blind Kashmiri brothers have garnered immense praise for their extraordinary talent of sewing fashionable and embroidered quilts. With the help of their father, the brothers earn their livelihood together by making trendy quilts, cushions and mattresses for customers. 45-year-old Ghulam Nabi Teli and 40-year-old Mohamad Hussian receive sizeable orders from a local quilt-dealer and are quite popular among locals. The Teli brothers, as the introduction goes, were trained at the National Institute for the Visually Handicapped in Dehradun, where they learned Braille and some home sciences.
