As we watch the fishermen at work, we get a sense of the hard work and dedication that goes into their craft.

We see how they work together as a team, communicating with each other through hand signals and gestures, and using their strength and expertise to navigate their way through the treacherous waters of the Arabian Sea.

The video gives us a glimpse into the traditional fishing techniques of Indian fishermen, showing us how they use simple tools and methods to catch fish.
