520 _aThis article deals with the professional conscientiousness of the glassmakers of Firozabad, focusing on stories of the elaboration, transmission and dispossession of the know-how of the Shishgarh. This Muslim glassmaking caste from the north of India has an enormous mastery of the skills needed in the century-old production of Firozabad. The accounts given by the Shishgarh show a double dispossession of their know-how: on the one hand from below, when their skills were transmitted outside their community and, above all from above, when they were proletarianised. Their struggles to regain autonomy are a metonymy of the struggles between know-how and industrial capital that run throughout Firozabad.
