Question:

Imagine that it is 1950 and you are a 60-year-old Raika herder living in post- Independence India. You are telling your grand-daughter about the changes which have taken place in your lifestyle after Independence. What would you say?

Answer:

After independence, our life has changed in many different ways. Post independence, there is not enough pasture lands for grazing our animals, so we had to reduce the number of animals in our herds. We also had to move to another place to graze our herds, as now we are not allowed to go to Sindh because it is now part of Pakistan. After that we had to move to Haryana as an alternative grazing ground. Now, our cattle go there and graze on cultivated lands after the harvests are cut. The animals also help in fertilizing the fields with manure from their excreta.
