9. Mohanlal Yadav, 52, Village near Sehore (MP)

Observation…

Son from Bhopal asked if our wheat is organic or not.

Maybe I Should…

We grow our own food, use little fertilizer, save seeds sometimes. City people talk as if village food is poison. Maybe they know something we don’t. Maybe times have changed more than I realize.

Nah… Not Really…

I’ve eaten this grain all my life and so have my parents. I trust my soil and my hands more than a packet with English words. If city people need organic labels, fine. I don’t.
