For everything for which facebook is a shorter space
sure.. farming methods might be ancient... we can blame the system if we want... but even then is it something to be ashamed of??? No.... but then why take a city dwellers opinion :) But in Europe too... even if they have advacned machinary,,, their farming capabilites r limited..... if nto mistaken.....
i am not critical of farming methods..nothingh to be ashamed of it..in fact i am proud of it coz its most environment friendly...only thingh i wanted to point out that when city dwellers say change is constant and all , i wanted to point out that change is not constant in all cases ...some things dont change for centuries ..only industrial revolution has made change fast and constant to sell more products.....
Nice article kapil...i liked the lucidity of thoughts and simplicity of words...i completely agree that a lot of things followed in our hinterlands maybe ancient but certainly is environment friendly...be it using banana leaf instead of aluminium foil, clay pots / steel glasses instead of plastic/ thermacoal glasses, eating with our fingers vis-a-vis using an army of cutlery, bucket bath instead of showers or even using water instead of tissue to clean our derriers...it is high time we stopped being ashamed of our practices and embrace them whole heartedly because most them are thought through and are an effective means of conservation.
