@Themangofellow@BSBommai@krishnabgowda is doing what @BJP4India is doing at center. Blame predecessors for the current mess rather than setting it right for which people voted THEM OUT & voted YOU IN.
@DrDeepakKrishn1@Ketanspeak Then : Living naturally
Now: Surviving on Medicines , in hospitals, on ventilators.
If you call the second part Living then that's end of discussion Doc.
1 man found 3 yellow grains in the mud & spent 5 yrs protecting them from wild pigs. A trader named the result after his favorite watch brand to prove its quality, while a university stole the seeds to claim the credit. He fed millions, but worked as a daily wage laborer on his own soil. Discover the Ghost Farmer behind India's favorite thin rice.
While the world was looking at high-tech labs for the next green revolution, a school dropout named Dadaji Ramaji Khobragade was standing in his small 1.5 acre plot in Nanded, Maharashtra. While harvesting his usual Patel 3 rice, Dadaji noticed 3 yellow-seeded spikes (lomb) that looked different. Most farmers would have ignored them as impurities.
Dadaji picked those 3 spikes & stored them in a simple plastic bag. For the next 5 yrs, he painstakingly bred them in a tiny patch, protecting them from wild pigs with a fence of thorny bushes. He created a variety that was thinner, smelled better, & yielded 80% more than the conventional seeds.
Dadaji did not have a marketing team/a brand name. In 1990, a large landowner bought 150 kg of these seeds & sold the harvest to a local trader. At that time, HMT Watches were the ultimate symbol of Gold Standard & Reliability in India. The trader, who had recently bought a new HMT watch & was obsessed with it, decided to call the rice HMT Rice simply to signal that this rice was as High Quality as the watch.
The name stuck so hard that people today think HMT Rice was developed by the govt corporation (Hindustan Machine Tools), but the company had absolutely nothing to do with it!
In 1994, the Punjabrao Krishi Vidyapeeth (PKV), an agricultural university, approached Dadaji. They took 5 kg of his seeds under the pretext of experimenting. A few yrs later, the university released a new"variety called PKV-HMT. They claimed Dadaji’s original seeds were impure & that they had purified them.
They took the credit, the patents, & the glory. For yrs, the man who actually did the 5 yrs of backbreaking research was left working as a daily wage laborer on other people’s farms just to feed his family.
Dadaji Khobragade lived in poverty for decades while HMT Rice became a multi-crore industry across Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, & Chhattisgarh. It was only much later that the National Innovation Foundation (NIF) stepped in. They proved that the university’s new rice was genetically identical to Dadaji’s.
In 2010, Forbes magazine named him 1 of the most powerful Rural Entrepreneurs, & he finally received a National Award. But by then, he had already sold his own land to pay for his son’s medical treatment. Next time you eat a bowl of thin, aromatic HMT rice, remember it is not the product of a sanitized government lab. It is the result of a man who looked at three tiny yellow grains in the mud & saw a future that the PhDs missed.
The HMT in the rice does not stand for Hindustan Machine Tools; it stands for the Honesty of a Marginalized Toiler. Dadaji Khobragade proved that you do not need a degree to be a scientist; you just need an eye that can see the extraordinary in the ordinary.
A trader's love for a wristwatch gave the rice its name, but a farmer’s love for his land gave the rice its soul. 1 became a brand; the other remained a Ghost in his own fields.

@anandmahindra child marriages in Hindus is decreasing at faster pace than the decline in the community of peacefuls. Time to stop peacefuls from pushing their shitty agendas.

@UnSubtleDesi@sportslawyerIND Also @BJPBengal@SuvenduWB should ensure that they do not repeat the mistake of @BJP4Karnataka of eating commissions from day 1 and involving in corruption. Else this will be the only time and may have to wait for another century to be elected back.
@ShoneeKapoor But which politician/party would want to commit a political suicide? Instead let spouses settle scores like this like what happens in Banana Republics. 2/2
@ShoneeKapoor Am sure you know even before the Joseph Shine Judgement women were never held criminally liable for adultery. So since it was gender biased law, it was rightly removed and thrown into the Dustbin. Parliament should pass a law to make a similar law gender agnostic 1/2
@KiranAradhyaadv High Court making the complainants run from pillar to post for years. Here he is feeling sorry for making the poor Lamborghini owner run from pillar to post for a few days. Had it been a Maruti 800 owner, this case wouldn't have seen light of day for decades. 2/2
@KiranAradhyaadv Milard is talking about cleaning RTO. He has no guts to clean the rot in his mouth ie Judiciary & the weeds wearing black coats.
When cases are filed against the Weeds wearing BlackCoats, these Milards stay the proceedings and throw the cases in dungeons of 1/2
India has scripted history.
Biochemistry, the crème de la crème of the sciences, whose discoveries are adorned with 56 Nobel Prizes, whose portals are illuminated by Indian giants like Khorana and Subbarow, has today officially welcomed a student who scored minus 8 out of 800.
