If you have seen "Avatar" you know how beautiful those big trees look. My garden has one of those. Not the one where the entire tribe lived but the ones which were big enough for humans. Not only my garden but everybody’s garden in my city has one of these. The forest behind me has one of these.
The tree must be about 50 feet or so tall and this is the smallest one. There are many taller ones in my backyard and the forest behind me. Sometimes I wonder how the Aadivaasis (Jharkhand’s tribe) must have lived here before the British found my small town. In the greed of rich coal and iron found here, they uprooted so many of these ancient trees and did not even keep a record. I guess they weren't interested in keeping a record on their loot either. This tree is my backyard is some 100 or so years old and it is still in its growing stage. This means there must be trees that were older and even taller and bigger. Unfortunately, there is no record. No archives know about the forests of Jharkhand. No famous man wrote about the forests of Jharkhand. What is Jharkhand? Where is Jharkhand? You don’t know until you live here.
Don’t try to google Jharkhand or Jharkhand’s forests you will be disappointed. There are no picturesque pictures of this place. Unlike other countries that have so beautiful pictures like this one.
This is a famous picture from Montana, United States. Why is it famous?
Because it is beautiful. Maybe. But Jharkhand is also beautiful. However, what you see when you google Jharkhand is this.
Why did this happen?
There are hardly any pictures of the forests, the people, the culture, or anything that indicates Jharkhand. Both Montana and Jharkhand are both states but this is what you will see. Jharkhand is not the only state with this poor representation.
This is the reason people don’t come to Jharkhand. They go to the other states but not Jharkhand. This state does not lack anything, we have cities, forests, rivers, waterfalls, hills, and unique culture.
We need more people to explore the forests and the people. We also need the western media to take a step back and stop undermining our country’s outlook. India is way more than just poor and unsafe. All Asian countries are played under the hands of these media specialists who try to portray our unique culture as something backward and illogical. Just because your country is developed doesn’t mean you can undermine the others.
This is the real Jharkhand, come and see for yourself.
