These Rajyasabha MPs, one who is seen tearing the parliamentary rule book & the one who broke the chairperson's mic, need to thrown out of the house. #Shameful
It is called "Hunda or Bataiya" system in eastern UP. You give your land to landless or sma farmers & in turn you get half of total harvest produced on that land (or some other arrangements depending on soil). @FrankBullit67@Mirzaraja14
Since all of this is informal system, a lot of issues arises. But it is an effective way of dealing with small land holdings on which you can't afford to have significant large investment. Now that system is going to be formalized, people could get better deals as well.
Most of those who have govt jobs or are involved in business but have large land holdings (even 1-2 acres) rent their land in such way. The rented land could be used for Bagans as well. A 10-15 year lease also works (typically for those who have 10+ acres).
"Old and Senile men like Periyar deserve a place more in a lunatic asylum than in public life. It is high time Periyar and his followers were banished from this land." :)
Congress has institutionalized hatred against Brahmins for so long that it doesn't even hide it. That tweet by @INCIndia marks the official proclamation I guess.
"The land grab in 2013 by PLA happened after India had signed nine agreements, including the Border Defence Cooperation Agreement, the same year in March ahead of Chinese Premier Li Keqiang's visit to India."
On a different note, this "not crossing the sea" in many Hindu texts isn't that old a phenomenon as many would believe.
In @sanjeevsanyal 's land of seven rivers, there is story of Kaundinya, q Brahmin who founded empire in SE Asia. (keeping the myths around it out). 1/2
SS later laments (in the book) how Indian started looking inward and have imposed restrictions on themselves (referring to "not crossing the sea" & "caste system" etc) and from there the Indian dominance at sea begin to decline. 2/2 @ARanganathan72@kushal_mehra
Many indic scholars like @singhsahana however disgrees over the timeline on which this "decline" (of Indian education, she writes) started. She places it at the start of Islamic conquests in India. @sanjeevsanyal 's timeline (what I understand) is just after Golden period.
