MY 75TH BIRTH DAY
SCENARIO SEEN FROM AN OLD EAGLE EYE . THE PRESENT SOCIETY LIVES BY BREAD ALONE.THE
AGRICULTURAL LAND OF INDIA IS SLOWLY AND SURELY MEETING ITS NATURAL DEATH. ( PART
TWO)
In order to grow wheat crop, the well to do farmers are
resorting the following since long. One or two in a population of thousands is
owning (1)Bore well subversives started at five in the morning and closed at
five in the evening beside using its services during dead nights where the electricity is available.(2) Tractors
numbering one or two in a village for the use of entire farmers clans there ,the
owners use them for themselves and
services are given on rents to the rest. Twelve hours service by the bores well
fetches water from under the ground nonstop at a speed to cater the flow of
water from two feet circumference hose pipes marketed by the companies which
can be spread to about two to three kilometers of distance. The end nose of
this wide pipe placed in one corner of the barren plot to submerge it with a water un checked throughout
the day and night. This quenches the thirst of only seven to eight biswas of farmers
land as on today and the same amount of water can fill about five to seven bogies of a Indian goods
train enough to equal to fill empty fifty
tankers seen in cities. During our child hood several acres of land
could adequately be drenched with several bighas of land. The
sucking of ground water is unabated and un precedent leading to deepest sinking
of ground water. This trend will certainly one day compel the population to
migrate in search of water and living.
