Locusts’ date with Jaipur after over three decades

Jaipur, after three decades, had a date with locusts who came in lakhs of numbers to the residential parts of the city, traumatising the residents, who were already reeling under corona fear during lockdown times.

Travelling for hundreds of kilometre in a day, these locusts arrived in India through Iran and Pakistan. People rushed up on their roof tops and started playing vessels to evade these unwanted guests.

Many people were also seen bursting crackers to ensure these insects leave their place.

The gardens of the people were ravaged by the flying locusts who savoured the leaves on plants.

Besides Jaipur, the locusts also marked their presence in other parts of Rajasthan including Ajmer and Nagaur.

They were also seen in Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh. In fact, Delhi kept waking up next day as officials warned of locust attack, however, the wind and storm ensured safety for capital of India.

Luckily, the rabi crops were recently harvested and hence survived the onslaught.

However, the locusts destroy India’s kharif produce if they are not been controlled by the time the harvesting season arrives.

Meanwhile, the features of these desert locusts are quite different. They can fly for over 130 km in a day. Also they can stay in the air for a long time. Also female locusts can lay eggs around thrice in their lifetime (roughly three to five months), at 6-11 day interval period. Their populations have the capacity to multiply 20-fold in just three months.

Now, imagine, the devastation they can bring in if not been controlled. Farmers will have to pay a heavy price as they have already suffered the worst under lockdown period which has been imposed during COVID-19 time.

So let’s see how these flying attackers can be controlled. Any solutions?

Veer Savarkar: Words fall short to describe the trauma borne by him in Cellular Jail

Veer Savarkar: After reading volumes of articles in different publications, I hereby say that words have fallen short to describe the tortures that were mooted on him when he was lodged in Cellular Jail in Andaman and Nicobar island.

You might call me going judgemental but this is what I felt when I visited the Cellular Jail.

The moment I entered into the small cell where he remained jailed for around 13 years, I realised how Britishers acted butchers’ way with prisoners there including with Veer Savarkar.

Even today, this cellular jail depicts the stories of tortures that were mooted on prisoners. The heart sinks listening to the gory stories as narrated by guides while watching the small cells where prisoners were stacked, the iron grills which prisoners must have hold trying to see far off searching for sunlight, the oil mills which they might have worked on with their sweat pouring out, the neck ring shackles which might have left many of them breathless and so on.

Veer Savarkar: Words fall short to describe the trauma borne by him in Cellular Jail

The statues of prisoners installed in the jail are enough to take us into that different world where humans were treated worse than animals.

And if there was a man who bore all such tortures for around 13 years from 1911 to 1924 (although he was given punishment for two lifers counting 50 years) and still came out alive, then he must have been no normal man. His grit, determination and strong will power might have been of different level.

Imagine, this man might also have seen the flogging room each day for many years and might have born the brunt of being a silent witness to many of his dear friends slipping down, silently, after being hanged to death, for their only fault– that was– to revolt against clutches of slavery.

At times, he might have missed his brother too, who was in same jail for two years, but that was an unknown fact to him for the norms of the isolation facility were very difficult.

While taking a tour to the Cellular jail, our heartbeat stopped for a second when we came right in front of his cell. We opened our shoes outside his cell, bowed our head in front of his picture and prayed to God to bless our country by giving more such heroes to Mother India so that all butchers existing in present India can be shooed off enabling our country to shine on world map brimming with more such stories of bravery, valour and patriotism.

Wanna know the historic tale of how Jaipur turned into ‘Gem City’? Read the story here

Jaipur has an interesting historic tale of its emergence as the gem city.

The story goes back to the eighteenth century (first half) when Maharaja Sawai Jai Singh ruled this city.
In an endeavour to sustain Jaipur’s flourishing gem and jewellery trade, he invited jewellers from across India to this city. Since then, jewellers from across the country came and settled in Jaipur, giving this city a rich legacy which continues till today.

The contemporary gem craftsmen mostly come from a long line of jewellers; they are skilled in their art; they cut and shape around 90 per cent of the gemstones used in India’s gem and jewellery trade.
While a few of these gems are mined in India, Jaipur’s traders run a big import industry allowing the local trade to manage the show successfully.

The gems, globally imported, are being cut and polished to be given the local specifications in the city’s workshops. The craftsman, irrespective of their caste and creed, work in unison to continue making a mark in cutting and shaping stones in tiny workshops behind their gem-filled stores.

Several of the stones are imported from Brazil and Africa. Also many stones are bought and shipped in from Bangkok.
These stones are first cut to size, then its impurities, spots and blemishes are removed.

Cutting, rough shaping, and then shaping it more closely, to get sharper edges and flat base and polishing are a few stages which help them in giving the flawless shape and transparency in stone.

This industry initially started with a handful of artisans which worked on unpolished precious stones and today, it has turned into the largest industry in Jaipur exporting gems and jewellery of thousands of crores each year.
