Youth
I remember all too clearly

Some days from my youth
No, not the time spent
In someone's company
Actually not in their company
If you know what I mean,
But some other days
Actually far too few days
To recount some
My mind goes back
Recalling my visit to JNU
Where a friend was studying
(Himadeep, now a prof at Vassar)
Another friend was there, too
(AV Satish Chandra, gold medalist
At JNU in pol sci).
I remember the student elections
Had gotten underway at JNU
That guy from Bihar
Contesting for president
Spoke in just chaste Hindi
That the southerner in me
Was quite charmed,
And I heard him
Sitting beside my friend
And his classmates
Some of whom were girls
Who seemed more at ease
Those Delhi girls
Than those from my hometown.
I remember banging my head
Between the two eyebrows
Against the drum, at JNU,
When I bent in to take water
And injuring myself
And being young
I wondered if that would leave a scar
Ruining thus my chances
Of a girl ever dating me
And my friend was exasperated
Said he,
"First treat that injury
Stop thinking all that."
Now I tell myself
It is just that scar
Which made all the girls
Down the years
Hesitate
Yes, just that,
And not my personality
Or overall looks
That for me
Was the real dialectical materialism
In my life.
Then there was Varun(?)
Hima's classmate
A slightly fat guy
And hence his nickname enugu
Who was the topper
Who went on to do
PhD from Oxford
On some scholarhsip (Rhodes or Inlaks?)
And I smiled at him
From across the dining table
Having breakfast
(God, so much chapati and dal).
Then those teas under the trees---
I do not recall, but
Surely they must have been discussing
Marx
And some waiting for the library to open
Those Civil Services aspirants.
Then staying some days
On that Delhi trip
Way back in 1986
At Narasimha's place
Who was in the law school
And Sanjay was there, too,
Little could I know
Both would go on
To becoming Supreme Court judges
(Shh, forget I said that,
They do not want the public to know
They are my friends
Lest someone curry their favour)
And the law school back then
Was a pretty vibrant place
Plus, Sanjay and I
Took a photo
In front of the supreme court
Which photo I have since torn up
In one of those moods
When I do not value anything in life. -

researching the use of forests in indian himalaya ...

Imagine a world where forests aren't just pretty backdrops, but vital life-giving forces. A recent study from Jawaharlal Nehru University has revealed a fascinating secret: the type of forest can significantly impact the health of nearby farmland. Researchers found that broadleaf forests, with their wider leaves, are more beneficial to soil health than coniferous forests. These forests promote the growth of beneficial microbes, increase organic matter content, and release essential nutrients, leading to healthier and more productive farms.
An Agricultural Farm Near Forest
The research, led by Shankar and Garkoti (2024), published in journal Science of The Total Environment, highlights the pivotal role of Nepalese-alder (Alnus nepalensis) forests in enhancing soil quality and nutrient availability. This remarkable improvement is largely attributed to the alder’s nitrogen-fixing capabilities and higher microbial biomass, which contribute to better soil structure, increased organic matter, and enhanced microbial activity. These findings underscore the critical role of forest vegetation in maintaining soil health and productivity in agroecosystems, highlighting the need for strategic forest management practices.

The findings indicate that integrating alder forests into agricultural practices could be a sustainable strategy to maintain long-term soil health and productivity in the region. So, how can we harness this forest power? The answer lies in integrating trees into our agricultural practices. Agroforestry, alley cropping, contour planting, and intercropping are just a few techniques that can bring forests and farms together in a harmonious partnership. Here are some practical steps for farmers:
Agroforestry Systems: Integrate alder trees into existing agricultural fields. Planting rows of alder trees along the borders or within the fields can improve soil fertility through nitrogen fixation.
Alley Cropping: Plant alder trees in rows with crops grown in the alleys between them. This method allows for the benefits of nitrogen fixation and organic matter addition from alder leaf litter while still maintaining crop production.
Contour Planting: On sloped lands, plant alder trees along the contours. This helps in reducing soil erosion and improving water retention, benefiting both the trees and the crops.
Intercropping: Combine alder trees with other crops in the same field. This can enhance biodiversity, improve soil structure, and increase overall productivity.
Soil Enrichment: Use alder leaf litter and prunings as mulch or compost. This organic matter can enrich the soil, improving its structure and nutrient content.
Rotational Planting: Rotate crops with periods of fallow land planted with alder trees. This can help restore soil fertility and break pest and disease cycles.
But the benefits don't stop there. Restoring degraded lands with oak and alder trees can revitalize entire ecosystems. These trees provide habitat for countless species, help prevent soil erosion, and even play a role in combating climate change. Oak forests, known for their rich biodiversity, can help restore native plant and animal species, creating a more balanced and resilient ecosystem. Alder trees, with their ability to improve soil quality, can play a crucial role in stabilising soil, preventing erosion, and enhancing water retention. Additionally, these trees can contribute to carbon sequestration, mitigating climate change by absorbing CO2 from the atmosphere. By incorporating these species into restoration efforts, project initiators can create more sustainable and resilient landscapes. For policymakers, the message is clear: investing in forest conservation and restoration is not just about protecting nature; it's about ensuring a sustainable future for our communities and our planet. By promoting the conservation and restoration of nitrogen-fixing forests like Nepalese-alder, they can enhance soil fertility, boost agricultural productivity, and support long-term ecological balance in the region. This approach aligns with broader environmental goals, including biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation. Furthermore, policymakers can develop educational programmes to raise awareness among farmers and local communities about the benefits of sustainable land use practices. Implementing incentive programmes for farmers and landowners who adopt sustainable practices can encourage wider adoption. By promoting nitrogen-fixing forests and supporting sustainable land use practices, we can create a healthier, more prosperous India.
By leveraging these findings, policymakers can develop and implement strategies that promote sustainable land use practices, enhance agricultural productivity, and support ecological restoration. The focus on planting oak and alder trees in restoration projects can lead to more resilient and sustainable landscapes in the Indian Himalayan Region. This integrated approach aligns with the goals of biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and sustainable development, ultimately contributing to a healthier and more sustainable future for the region. So, let's embrace the power of trees and unlock the hidden potential of our forests. Together, we can create a greener, more sustainable future for generations to come.

In JNU today, the price for free speech is Rs 20,000
From Niyamgiri to Palestine, from workers’ rights to women’s freedom, from Marx to Ambedkar, from Savitribai Phule to Rosa Luxemburg — our walls had a space for all shades of opinion. The current administration’s clampdown will suck the soul out of these walls, turning them into mere brick and mortar.
