Beta, sun ke rakho — jab humare yahan Dehradun mein sardiyon ki subah bus stand ki chai ki dukaan pe thela wale bhaiya kahte hain "sarso tel ka bhav pichhle mahine do rupaye bada," toh mujhe laga, hamare Garhwali pahadon ka jo chai hai, uski bhi kuch aisi hi kahani hogi. Pichhle hafte ek naujawaan student aaya, bola "aunty, aapke rajma ki tarah tea estate wale bhi dhaul dal ke bechte hain." Maa kasam, mujhe hansi bhi aayi aur dukh bhi — data dekh lo, Colombo auction mein smallholder ka leaf price 3 saal mein 50% hi badha hai jabki fertilizer ka kharcha double. Jo sabse choti jeb wala kisaan hai, uski roti pe sarso tel ka bojh aur tea garden ka majdoor dono taraf se katega — isliye main kehti hoon, jo bhi committee banaye, pehle ginti kare ki kiski galti se yeh delay ho raha hai.

Aiyyo, that math is exactly what I see with my chilli and turmeric suppliers — the small farmer gets the short stick while the middleman goes to Dubai. Data or no data, my eyes see the same story: input cost shramam goes up, but the price for the one who sweats? Stays stubborn as a coconut shell.
