Jowar, bajra and ragi were regular staples in Indian kitchens,
depending upon the region where one lived. One didn’t
need western wisdom to consume locally-grown food – it
was a given. Then came the incursion of refined grains into
our kitchens and the old staples were pushed out of our
lives. Suddenly, they came to be labelled as coarse, poor cousins of
refined food items.
Besides food, this issue also contains certain spots that must
be on every person’s ‘must visit’ list. As we inch towards our 76th
Independence Day celebration, a visit to the newly-opened Partition
Museum provides a sordid reminder of the violence that accompanied
the celebratory mood of Independence in 1947. But the museum also
provides hope and succour, as the story as portrayed in the museum
ends with people picking up threads again, rebuilding lives, and
overcoming grief and resentment.
Yet another destination that is highlighted in the issue is Sanchi,
located close to the Tropic of Cancer in Madhya Pradesh, which is a
rich treasure trove of heritage. Looking at the photographs, one was
spellbound by the richness of art, and by the fact that more than 2,000
years ago, there was such an intermingling of influences between East
and the West.
Happy Reading.
