'''Mohammed Yusuf Khatri''' (born:{{Birth date|1967|01|01}}) is an Indian master craftsman from Madhya Pradesh.

== Early life and education ==
Khatri was born on 1 January 1967 in [[Bagh, Dhar|Bagh]], [[Madhya Pradesh]], where he had learnt the traditional Craft of [[Bagh Print]] at a young age from his parents. His family has been working in the trade of traditional Alizarin Bagh print since 7th century.<ref>{{cite web |date=December 2009 |title=Monthly Commercial and economic Report for Colombia, Ecuador and Costa Rica |url=http://newsletters.cii.in/Newsletters/mailer/LAC_Newsletter/february/Country-Reports/Colombia-CommercialRepor-Dec2009.pdf |accessdate=2015-03-03 |publisher=Newsletter.cii.in |format=PDF}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |date=2010-12-23 |title=Madhya Pradesh's Bagh handicraft reaches four countries in 2 months |url=http://www.bharateseva.com/bharat/l_news_detail.asp?id=3099 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141225113846/http://www.bharateseva.com/bharat/l_news_detail.asp?id=3099 |archive-date=2014-12-25 |accessdate=2015-03-03 |publisher=Bharat E Seva}}</ref>

==Notable work==
Earlier Mohammed Yusuf Khatri and his family used to prefabricate different traditional dresses for the persons belonging to different castes living in tribal area of Bagh block of Dhar district of [[Madhya Pradesh]]. Because the people of different castes and families had different dresses like Maroo, Jat, Meghwal, Mahajan, Bhil, Bhilala society and they were identified with their dresses. After 1990 Mohammed Yusuf Khatri did new experiments on the clothes for urban market. He did block printing with hand and designed cultural clothing firstly.
He also experimented incorporating modernity in the wooden blocks and colours in such a way that its fame and popularity could be established for a long time on the national and international level.
He proved his imagination true by making craft on bamboo mat, leather, jute etc. besides cloth, [[Bagh Print]] was engraved with natural colours on [[bamboo chick]]. This was the first experiment of the world which was completed with colours on bamboo mat.
It is notable that before or after popularity of Bagh print in the world, no example of such kind is recorded. Hence it is the first sample of such art in the world.<ref name="ummid"/><ref>{{cite web |url=http://64.78.29.176/images/uploads/new_mexican2.pdf |format=PDF |title=The SAnta Fe New Mexican : The Art of Survival |publisher=64.78.29.176 |accessdate=2015-03-03 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141227105623/http://64.78.29.176/images/uploads/new_mexican2.pdf |archive-date=2014-12-27 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://portal.unesco.org/geography/en/files/8716/121007257452005_Catalogue.pdf/2005+Catalogue.pdf |format=PDF |title=UNESCO Seal of Challenge |date=2005 |publisher=Portal.unesco.org |accessdate=2015-03-03}}</ref>
