&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;There&amp;rsquo;s a small cloud of dust, and the phut-phut of an engine: Adaikalaselvi comes riding on a bike, wearing a blue saree, a big nose ring, and a wide smile. A few minutes earlier, she had instructed us &amp;ndash; from her chilli fields &amp;ndash; to wait outside her locked house. It is high noon and only March as yet, but the Ramanathapuram sun is ferocious. Our shadows are small, our thirst is large. Parking the two-wheeler in the sweet shade of a guava tree, Adaikalaselvi quickly opens the front door and invites us in. The church bell rings. She brings us water; we sit down for a chat.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;We start with her bike. It&amp;rsquo;s not very common for a woman of her age, from a small village, to drive one. &amp;ldquo;But it is so useful,&amp;rdquo; laughs the 51-year old. She learnt it very quickly. &amp;ldquo;My brother taught me when I was in eighth standard. I knew cycling, so it wasn&amp;rsquo;t hard.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;If not for the two-wheeler, life would have been harder, she points out. &amp;ldquo;My husband was away from home for many years. He worked as a plumber, first in Singapore and then in Dubai and Qatar. I raised my daughters and ran the farm.&amp;rdquo; Single-handedly.&lt;/p&gt;

A few minutes earlier, she had instructed us &amp;ndash; from her chilli fields &amp;ndash; to wait outside her locked house. It is high noon and only March as yet, but the Ramanathapuram sun is ferocious. Our shadows are small, our thirst is large.

It&amp;rsquo;s not very common for a woman of her age, from a small village, to drive one. &amp;ldquo;But it is so useful,&amp;rdquo; laughs the 51-year old. She learnt it very quickly. &amp;ldquo;My brother taught me when I was in eighth standard. I knew cycling, so it wasn&amp;rsquo;t hard.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;If not for the two-wheeler, life would have been harder, she points out. &amp;ldquo;My husband was away from home for many years.

In red hot pursuit: Tamil Nadu’s chilli farmers -Aparna Karthikeyan

-RuralIndiaOnline.org J. Adaikalaselvi, a farmer in Ramanathapuram, Tamil Nadu’s top chilli -producing district, takes us through the hurdles in producing the lucrative crop: price fluctuations, water scarcity and climate change There’s a small cloud of dust, and the phut-phut of an engine: Adaikalaselvi comes riding on a bike, wearing a blue saree, a big nose ring, and a wide smile. A few minutes earlier, she had instructed us – from her chilli fields – to wait outside her locked house. It is high noon and only March as yet, but the Ramanathapuram sun is ferocious. Our shadows are small, our thirst is large. Parking the two-wheeler in the sweet shade of a guava tree, Adaikalaselvi quickly opens the front door and invites us in. The church bell rings. She brings us water; we sit down for a chat. We start with her bike. It’s not very common for a woman of her age, from a small village, to drive one. “But it is so useful,” laughs the 51-year old. She learnt it very quickly. “My brother taught me when I was in eighth standard. I knew cycling, so it wasn’t hard.” If not for the two-wheeler, life would have been harder, she points out. “My husband was away from home for many years. He worked as a plumber, first in Singapore and then in Dubai and Qatar. I raised my daughters and ran the farm.” Single-handedly. Please click here to read more.
