Amit Vashist, Chandigarh

My brother Mithu was asking ” Bhaia, plant is plant ,why you are favouring few and opposing others? ” I was not confused or angry ,rather I was in a very positive mode and replied, on 10th July, I read a news published in “The Times of India”, with head line ” 36 students fell ill after eating fruit ” .Barnala : As many as 36 students got ill, after eating ‘ratanjot’ an almond like fruit known as Purging Nut used for mixing in oil deseal, at Government High School,Roorkee .Some days back 20 students had fallen ill after eating the same fruit at Government School ,JumlaMlkin. I asked if the plant fruits are so harmful ,why had these been planted in the schools? Why not government authorities are planting Peepal -the most oxygen producer tree, Ambla, Neem ,Mango or AAm etc, typical Indian trees at the public places? These are the questions which I am asking from Government of India, if it is wrong and you are thinking it is wastage of time and energy then, I will stop my war. It was complete silent for sometime and later he willingly joined our community and show his wish to plant a Peepal tree. Such questions are not new to me, because in our country we consider trees as sacred to worship, as God .In Srimadbhagwat Geeta, Sri Krishan Has said that “Among trees I Am Peepal” . Ambla , Neem, Bad(Banyan) etc. the list is very long are very respectful trees among Indians ,then why not government is showing its interest in plantation of these trees.
Today , on a news channel I was watching a news in which they reported decline in population of birds. They reported that use of pesticides is responsible for this but, in reality when you will think deeply , you will recognize the relation between plantation of these trees and bird population. The enlisted above are ones useful to human beings at the same time are source of food for birds and animals as well. In this season in most parts of the country Van Mahotsav is being celebrated all over India but they going to plant eucalyptus, Poplar, Musket(Kabuli kikar), Ailanthus or other different types of oily plants ,like Ratan jotor or purging nut etc. Are they doing knowingly or unknowingly it does not matters, because ultimately we are suffering directly or indirectly also, birds and animals are paying for deeds they have not done. If nothing will be there to eat how birds will survive? They will have to migrate to the places suitable for them. On the other hand we established big towers responsible to emit rays killer to birds .Those who are really worrying about birds please plant peepal tree surrounding area near your house , in school , or park , or in temple , one of my friends has planted trees at shamshaan ghat and kabar gah. Please my friends’ government will react only when, you will ask or force them to give attention on this matter. If you are watching t. v. and some live show is going on in which leaders or public office bearer are taking part please ask this question,

1 Why government is planting poisonous plants at public places?

2 Why are they planting eucalyptus in such a big numbers while, this is the plant which has minimum capacity of consuming 300 litres of water per day?

3 If eucalyptus, Poplar, Musket(Kabuli kikar), Ailanthus or other different types of oily plants , purging nuts etc are so good please do one thing drink sharwat(of flowers or fruits or leaves of these plants, as we make neem sharwat, Ambla sharwat, Bilb sharwat etc.) made of these plants for 2 days only and then tell us results..
