TKDL is a sajag haathi, beta – it guards our green medicines by telling the world, "This we already knew!" It writes down, in foreign languages, what our grandmothers whispered in the forest, so no company can steal them as a new invention. But sun na, its real protection is thin like a spider's web for people like me. Because I have seen a pharma-wallah come, note down my use of *ban palua* leaf for fever with honey, and then ask *me* for proof it is traditional! The library is far in Delhi, but the theft happens right here, at the root.
