[Assam] Technology will soon override tradition at India's tea markets -IHT

[DR BIKASH KUMAR DAS]

Dada, You are right.Here is the dead END and the great end. Courtesy Indian busines loby and the extremists who earn crores and kept under custody of Dhaka. Finally its time for TEA to close down. Once  while posted in Tinsukis, I got 2 man, one owner- marowari and assamese manager.They said why to follow the 200 yrs old system of one bud and 2 leaf.Why not the entire tea.Basically its to earn money- who bothers quality!! Then here starts the problem of lowest quality tea only to make garment die.Already Tata tea's failed  Nilgiri tea and Kerala tea is modified with Srilanka tea mixture and sold as assam brand tea? None tea company writes in the outer label as assam tea.Since they are from Mixture of SL,Nilgiri and Kerala unit tea.
  The closure and IT boming wil give lot of problem in Assam.One is that those tea garden labourers wil go to be dacoits, looters or extremists and increase of IT will lead to stop our traditional cultivations.As al joined extremists for freedom, the cultivations are mostly in halt.There wil be big food scarcity in the Assam region.And one fine day US will make billion of dollars from India by supplying food supply for Assam.Hope my forecast is right!
