I’m not talking about farmland. I’m talking about the basics like having a few trees that grow fruit.
Yes it’s not much, but it can be the difference between life and death when you’re talking about starvation.
- baybal2 5y agoMost people in villages do not own any land, not even an inch of it to plant a single tree.

Indians generally have a large and collaborative communities, which is a concept totally alien to many westerners who don’t even talk to their neighbours. This is also part of the reason COVID is so rampant there. And yes, I’m aware I’ve now reduced the discussion down to massive generalisations about a massive country with a diverse populous and I’m sorry. Obviously there will be a great many counter examples that disproves my point. But from the perspective of my friends and family who have other friends and family in poorer regions of India (and I do mean poorer by Indian standards not poorer but ours but relatively rich by Indians) what I’ve said is fair and accurate. Im sure what you’ve said is also true by virtue of the size of the country.
