Stuck in Lockdown, Rajasthan Pastoral Nomads Worry for Animals - Rosamma Thomas

Several nomadic people usually set out in March on traditional routes, where animals feed on vegetation. Once lockdown is lifted and kharif sowing starts, the animals will be left with nothing to chew on.

Pastoral nomads stranded in the lockdown in Rajasthan’s desert region since March 25, are worried about feeding their animals, as once the lockdown lifts, the summer heat would have dried out vegetation on their traditional routes.

The seasonal movement of nomads and their animals is intertwined with the cropping patterns of settled communities along their routes. The nomads usually set out by March, before the summer reaches its peak. This is the time when the rabi (winter) crop is harvested, and the fields are not yet sown with the kharif crop. The vegetation in the fields at this time is what animals are allowed to feed on, and their droppings serve as organic manure.

However, that narrow window of time is closing fast, and once the lockdown lifts, farmers will be getting fields ready to sow the kharif crop, ahead of the monsoon. Animals, therefore, will not be left with much to chew on at that time.
