Bhindi (Ladyfinger) is one of the most common food items that we find in local markets or grocery stores. While most of us usually prepare this vegetable for lunch or dinner, over the years, it has also become a comfort food that we love to devour. Traditionally known for its green colour and sticky texture, a farmer has now come up with a new red coloured variety in ladyfinger! Yes, you read that right. A red-coloured bhindi does exist and is currently being grown by Misrilal Rajput, a farmer from Madhya Pradesh.
While talking to ANI, the farmer highlighted the benefits of his ‘red ladyfinger’ and said that “The ladyfinger that I grow is red in colour instead of its usual green colour. It is more beneficial and nutritious than green ladyfinger. It is extremely beneficial for people who are facing heart and blood pressure issues, diabetes, high cholesterol,” he said.
When Misrilal Rajput was asked about the process of cultivation, he told ANI that “I had purchased 1 kg seeds from an agricultural research institute in Varanasi. I sowed them in the first week of July. In around 40 days, it started growing.” According to the farmer, no harmful pesticides were used in the cultivation of this red ladyfinger.
As this red ladyfinger is one of a kind, the farmer has kept its price on a higher side. He told ANI that, “This ladyfinger is 5-7 times more expensive than ordinary ladyfingers. It is being sold from Rupees 75-80 to Rupees 300-400 per 250 gram/500 gram in some malls.” He also added that a minimum of 40-50 quintals and a maximum of 70-80 quintals could be grown on an acre of land.

]]> Farmers’ organizations have been working for the last three days to form an aggressive strategy in view of the attitude of the government. A little bit of tussle has also started in the farmers organizations. Some organizations want to take a slightly loose stance with the government, while the farmers associations of Punjab, Western Uttar Pradesh, Haryana are adamant about their objective in the interest of farmers. On the other hand, the government is working on a strategy to take advantage of the situation of differences between farmers’ organizations. According to information received from Ministry sources, the Central Government is not going to come to the negotiating table by doing any special homework for the January 20 talks.
It is said that the government will discuss each point of the three agricultural laws with the farmers’ organizations on Wednesday, January 20 and will seek options from the farmers. Farmers’ organizations have made up their mind to repeal the three agricultural laws from the government and demand a purchase guarantee on the MSP. Overall, the chances of reaching any conclusion of the talks are slim. Chaudhary Harpal Singh, president of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (real) apolitical, says that the result of the first day’s talks with the government is the same today. There is no change in the original situation. Harpal Singh says that the government is only avoiding chops on the pretext of talks.According to Punjab farmer leader Harmeet Singh Kadian, the intention of the government is not clear. Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar and Piyush Goyal come only to talk to the farmers. Kadian says that every time farmers join the talks with hope and return empty handed.
Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar and Commerce and Railways Minister Piyush Goyal have made it clear that the Central Government is not going to repeal the three agricultural laws. The farmers should give up their insistence. Tomar says that farmers should point out flaws in all three laws and the government is ready to discuss them and make appropriate amendments. Even on other questions like purchase guarantee on MSP, the central government is seeking to suggest its option from the farmers.
There is still no change in this attitude of the government. Sources in the farmers’ organization and the government say that the central government is ready to make more than a dozen amendments to the three laws. However, the farmers’ organizations say that the amendments on which the government is preparing, will not solve any specific purpose of farmer interest. So when there are flaws in the law, then the government should cancel it. The legislation brought renewed discussion in the agricultural interest.

The DTC’s red bus landed us about 1 kilometer before the Singhu border. Here the Delhi Police’s batonmen showed us the way where the farmers’ groups from Punjab have been camping for the last two weeks and are demanding the withdrawal of the new ‘Kalle Kanun’. We set out on that side on foot
It is evening. At the place of picketing, a little light twilight is applied. As soon as we reached here from Delhi, the anchor was seen on the left side. Hot hot pooris are being fried. Two or three gas furnaces are burnt. Big tea bunnies are offered. An entire Sikh family, including women, is calling out to those passing by. Vahe Guru … ‘Want Chao’ … Eat Puris … Drink tea is fine, but why the name of ‘Vahe Guru’? I felt that this is a way to show respect for the guest and to express the Guru’s ideals.
