Much hue and cry is made over the reducing population of Tigers and Lions in India. While this is a matter of concern, another concern is happening in the north west region of India silently on which none utters a word.
Yes. The reducing population of Camel in India. The population that counted around 5 million 20 years back, is now only half a million.
The bhakia community that bred the camel so long are uninterested in breeding them more. Agriculture, their main profession is not attracting them and they are turning towards the urban area for jobs.
The returns from the agriculture is also less for them. During monsoon, they sow and during summer, they make the camel go around and use the waste of camel as manure.
But now, they do not do so. They smuggle the camel to Bangladesh or Pakistan for meat for a meagre amount of Rs 2000 to 5000. Such is the state of this community and the ships of our deserts.
Interesting point is in a survey recently conducted by Indian medical association, Bhakia community is totally immuned to diabetes. The reason is they drink camel milk.
Unfortunately, we are losing camels that is a good medicine for diabetes fastly and none utters a word.
