Fate of Anna Hassare Movement in India


Fate of Anna Hassare Movement in India

Anna Hassare Movement is getting a part of Indian Political History as no direct support to his fight for *right* from any of the major political parties. Why the political parties are not supporting his method of fighting, is that in India, there is a strategical way for making Law. Parliament is the authority to make the laws. But here the movement entirely pulls back the members of parliament and reveals the gap between the people and the Government.


Who supports Anna Hazare?

A large number of people who have no political interest, support the Hassare movement is a study topic. Recently the educated youth especially from IT field do not have much interest in politics, but they have given all possible support for this movement. Reason for this is phenomenon is that the youth is much aware of the corruption due to the politics, and automatically they forget about the service given by the political parties. Anna Hassare’s movement is an incidental phenomenon and is it will not sustain for long time.

How the movement should be deviated?

The supporters should enter the politics and participate in election. They should involve in Law making process in Parliament. Why the movement is not trying to change the ideology of political parties if it moves in a wrong way? Now, political parties are integral part of Indian culture. So forward better political ideology, get the support from the people especially youth, and stop corruption. Will they do?

Durian Tree

Plant durian for next generation


Durian fruit is believed to be medicinal qualities like increasing a woman's estrogen hormone production, enabling her to conceive. The traders of Durian in the markets are receiving good response from the public even though it is costly. Durian fruit is rich in energy, vitamins minerals. This fruit contains high amount of fats, and cholesterol free. It also contains antioxidant vitamin-C. I have planted few Durians in my plot. Durian plant is available in Kerala, with some of nursery owners I know, but it is not budded or grafted. I found it growing in Kottayam district. In my opinion Kasaragod district is very good for durian plantation. It is a slow growing tree, normally it will take 8 to 10 years to grow. 

The main advantage of Durian, while comparing with Jack fruit is the size. Durian is small in size, so easy to pack and handle. It is easy to cultivate even in hilly area, because the plant grows with little water and humidity.

Requirement of the fruit is high, so the farmers will get more value for their product. In India a single fruit will cost rupees 500 to 1000 (ten to twenty US dollars). A single mature durian tree may produce 50 to 300 fruits, depending on its growing surroundings.

In my opinion, it is better to cultivate 5 to 10 trees in a farm. Normally the cultivation is for next generation, as it will take many years to flourish and produce fruits.
