An Indian Right Perspective

The west and educated elite from the world especially the Indian intellectuals should know and feel proud of these female tree/environment protectors. They are not as educated or as rich as Greta living in Internet age with Climate crisis. 1. 363 Bishnoi who sacrificed life in protecting trees being cut by a local ruler in Rajasthan in 1730AD led by Bishnoi women Amrita Devi and her three daughters who got killed by hugging trees being cut. “  Inspired by their example, other Bishnoi (from a total of 84 different villages) continuously took their place until, in an event that would come to be known as the Khejarli Massacre, 363 Bishnoi had sacrificed their lives in defense of their trees.” https://www.patagonia.com/blog/2018/09/the-original-tree-huggers/ 2.

Many may be knowing Mahyco seed company founder B.R.Barwale who won world food prize in 1998. Read about him in the following  https://frontline.thehindu.com/static/html/fl1523/15230900.htm We should also know about humble poor, less educated yet  more modern climate friendly seed mother Rahibai Soma Popere  “ True to the Marathi saying ‘One is the pioneer of one’s own life’, Rahibai created her own water harvesting structures such as a farm pond and a traditional  jalkund .

India produces good wheat. It produces good amount of sugar. It produces good amount of dairy butter, it produces good amount of eggs. It has good long standing globally known MNCs like Nestle and Britannia Hindustan Lever etc.. We can export significant varieties of cookies, biscuits, cakes  to west Asia, and other countries in Africa and Asia.

Fractures between Hindus and Muslims can’t just be attributed to Partition, either. The work of scholars like CA Bayly has  shown  that religious violence was endemic in pre-colonial India too. Bayly notes that “several riots broke out in Delhi, Agra and Kashmir during the early 1720s", sparked off by "disputes over Holi, Muhurram and Eid." Likewise, Ahmedabad saw large-scale rioting over cow-slaughter, and "Afghan soldiers of the Mughal governor of the city took a leading part in the attack on the Hindu quarters of the city." https://www.firstpost.com/india/delhi-communal-clashes-citys-past-shows-hindu-muslim-enmity-predates-narendra-modi-and-even-partition-6919971.html
