National Farmers Day

India is an agricultural country. 
Our prosperity depends upon our agricultural production. 
A farmer is the most important members of society.
The food we eat and the food that keeps us healthy and strong is provided to us by the farmers.
We are able to survive on this planet with the help of farmers and thus they are the most valuable and important people of our lives.

A farmer is the very soul of a nation. Our late prime minister, Lal Bahadur Shastri, gave a slogan, “Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan.”
Opting out of your comfort zone and luxurious life one can still survive but even a day is difficult without food.
You feed upon it.
You need it at least thrice a day.

The farm and crops of a farmer are like his own family members to him.
If by any means his farm is in danger it would be unbearable and life threatening for him.

A person like me, who has enjoyed luxurious city life since birth may have a wrong aspect towards village life. We who believe cultivation an easy task as shown on the screens. Though the task may not be that easy but, in actual it is far away harder than what we believe.

Farmers are the backbone of our society.
The condition of farmers in India is critical. We are hearing suicide news of farmers every week or month. Moreover, farmers are all living a difficult life from past years. The problem is they are not getting enough pay.
The farmers contributes most of the yield to the Indian economy.
This is the maximum of all.
But still, a farmer is deprived of every luxury of society.
Anyways what’s the use of this useless luxury .
I think the muddy clothes of a farmer are better because the mud is of his own hard-work and persistence
If the farmer is rich, then so is the nation. He is a magician who produces money from the mud. 
To a farmer, dirt is not a waste, it is wealth.

When we people stop at the farmers to buy some vegetables and fruits, inspite of education, earning power we start haggling with them for the price he is asking which is also worth but habitually we keep on bargaining for every rupee which we think can be saved.
Then if successful we feel highly proud that we could wrench that 5 to 10 rupees out of the farmers pocket.
On the other hand when we visit a mall people treat us like a king, but what are the actually doing?
They are fooling us and very cleverly wrenching our hard-earned money out of the pocket.
But the interesting thing to focus on is we don’t actually feel the pinch.
We got the things for a higher price than expected, but we didn’t bargain here. Ever thought why?
Don’t bargain with the farmers!
They are selling the items not to be rich but to survive.

As rightly stated by John Kennedy, “The farmer is the only man in our economy who buys everything at retail, sells it at wholesale, and pays the freight both ways.”
The occupation that feeds you is worth fighting for.

The Farmers agitation in Delhi, against The Farmers Bill 2020 has gained world wide support.
India’s said to be a ‘Krushi Pradhan’ Country and also Democratic!
Then why farmer’s speech is not been heard and forcefully suppressed by the Central Government?
This month the longest farmer protest ended !!
After such a long duration, yet unsatisfactory ..!


Through all the still struggling farmer knows no way to stop!
He will surely fight for his rights.
On the auspicious day of National Farmers Day my best wishes and millions times obeisance to the farmer king (बळीराजा)

Environment destruction or an ages old tradition ??

Image
A lot such things are done on Dusshera which shouldn’t be done as they are incorrect rather useless too… For example first let us consider distributing Apta leaves  (Bauhinia racemosa) as gold on Dusshera, may it be a long tradition now needs to be corrected. On one hand we give messages to save environment & on the contrary pluck the Apta leaves unnecessarily... But now the number of apta trees has come down drastically and there is a need to save these trees. The apta tree has no fragrance and does not bear fruit. So very few people plant it. As a result, the number of apta trees has decreased. Apta trees are found outside the village. The sellers bring in large quantities of apta leaves to sell on Dussehra in the market. Whereas, on the next day large quantity of dried apta leaves can be found thrown in the garbage. Therefore, offering apta leaves on Dussehra is merely destroying the environment. Apta tree has scientific importance, the ability to absorb carbon dioxide emitt...

This Women's Day, Let's Go Beyond the Symbolism and Bandwagons

This Women's Day, Let's Go Beyond the Symbolism and Bandwagons I'm not an antagonist, but I believe that what's wrong remains wrong, no matter how many people agree with it. With this in mind, I'd like to present a critical perspective on International Women's Day. The annual celebration on March 8 has become a ritualistic affair, with corporations, governments, and individuals jumping on the bandwagon to proclaim their support for women's empowerment. However, beneath the veneer of solidarity and feminist fervour, one cannot help but wonder if this day has become more of a symbolic gesture than a genuine call to action. On the surface, Women's Day appears to be a celebration of women's achievements and a recognition of the struggles they face. Companies tout their diversity and inclusion initiatives, governments announce new policies aimed at promoting gender equality, and social media is flooded with messages of empowerment and solidarity. But scra...

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (Mahatma Gandhi)

Generations to come will scare believe that such a one as this walked the earth in flesh and blood. -Albert Einstein (to Mahatma Gandhi) Mahatma Gandhi was a visionary leader. He was the pioneer of Satyagraha movements. He inspired people to understand and learn resistance through non-violent civil disobedience. There are a lot of misgivings about Mahatma Gandhi in the mind of our people. Unlike I had already mentioned one in my previous article ‘Independence Day’ released on August 15 2021. (Attaching the link below https://janhavidudhane7.blogspot.com/2021/08/independence-day.html ) Gandhiji initially and from a very long time continued to oppose partition. He said Partition can happen only on his dead body. He even suggested that let Jinnah be the prime minister if that can avoid partition. [Jinnah was a dying man (a well guarded secret). He had less than a year to live. He wanted to ensure partition happens before he is gone.] Britishers wanted to sho...
