Rai Makes Hit at Page
By MRS. N. D. ICKES, SR.
The Frontier’s Feature Writer
It is interesting to note the dif
ferences and- the parallels between
the Orient and the Occident as we
follow our separate patterns of
living.
In an interview with Rai Xin
kar Chaudhury of Belhampore,
West Bengal, India, we were sur
prised to find that in the matter
of government they have much
the same type as we have. They
have used the British choice of
terms but the organization is very
much the same as ours.
They have a prime minister and
members of parliament and the
legislative assembly where we
have a president, senators and
representatives.
Legal age in India is the same
as here—18 for women and 21 for
men. Consent of parents is re
quired for young people to marry
before that age as it is here. Legal
voting age is 21 and their women
take an active part in government
as evidenced by the fact that Pi
jai Lazmi Pandit, sister of Prime
Minister Nehru of India, is a mem
ber of the United Nations.
There are 29 states in India
compared to our 48.
In the monetary system, the
rupee is worth 22 cents. The
anna is worth 1.4 of the rupees
and there are 12 pies in an a Tina
which brings the value down
rery low.
The schools of India compare
very favorably with our system,
varying somewhat in the classifi
cation. Grades one, two, three
and four are classified as element
ary. Grades five, six, seven and
eight are in the junior high grades
and grades nine and 10 are their
high school grades from which
they go to the university of their
choice. Where we have one
state university in a state they
have many universities, seme spe
cializing in certain types of educa
tion.
The percentage of Indians re
ceiving higher education is very
low. •
Rai manages his father’s farm
of 500 acres. They raise a variety
of crops, rice being the main one.
Jute is their cash crop. Sugar
cane and all varieties of veget
able and fruit, including mangoes,
bananas and coconuts, are also
produced. Mustard and lentels
are grown for their oil content.
Rai maintains five houses on
his farm and employs 35 men
as a minimum, raising that num
ber to 200 during the rice harvest.
He has become very much in
terested in the grain combines,
but is forced to remember that his
people need employment in order
to live. The average yearly income
is now $50 per person, indicating
that their wealth must be very
unevenly distributed.
Chauhury says India does not
have starving people except in
time of famine. During one of
those critical shortages of food
the U.S. contributed more than
half of 62,000,000 tons of food
stuffs. The Red Cross operates in
the interest of the needy, espe
cially furnishing medical supplies
where they are most needed. The
U.S. allocates the interest
on money owed to us as it comes
due to building schools and libra
ries in India.
The women of the family do the
cooking and the house work, tak
ing pride as does any good house
wife, in keeping their family
well fed and clothed.
For the most part the stoves
are built of clay and brick and a
good deal of the cooking is done
out-of-doors at large heating units
and ovens for the heat is not
needed for warmth. They burn
wood and coal and their cooking
pots are made of brass and cop
per, very expensive metals.
They cook their foods differ
ently than we do since they
serve them in cakes or in a
form readily handled with the
hands. They eat their meals
sitting on the floor on mats and
have use for very little furni
ture. Foods are very highly sea
soned and they resort to meth
ods of preparation that cause
them little dish washing.
Washing is done in the streams
or on the board and in times of
emergency the women employ
laundry boys and cooks who may
be either men or women. A dress
consists of five yards of material
fashioned in a draped style. White
is the favored color.
Fairs are held where the peo
ple display their wares in competi
tion with other entries.
The Indian people regard wom
en with great respect, holding old
er women as worthy of respect as
their own mother, and regarding
younger ones in the same way as
their own sisters.
A large farm in India would
compare with a small village here.
Housing of the many employees
is a routine problem for them,
one which the American people
quickly solved.
Hindu is the predominating
form of religion. The Gita is their
Bible, being the rule for human
conduct. They also have a four
volume edition of “Bed” in which
can be found information about
anything and everything from the
earliest recollection of India to the
present time.
The Hindu religion does not rec
ognize either divorce or separa
tion so they just “get along.” The
parents still choose their sons’
brides, although a son may choose
his own. The wedding ceremony
calls for a huge celebration with
many people in attendance. Much
food is prepared and consumed.
Electricity is high in cost so not
many appliances are in use. Rai
has a Ford tractor and hopes to
add a combine and other labor
saving equipment as soon as he
is able to do so.
Chauhury hopes to install a
dairy on his farm with modern
machinery, milkers and separat
ors. He plans to begin with one
hundred cows, raising that num
ber to seven hundred as time
permits.
The people are somewhat ac
customed to Americans, as com
panies selling machinery and
goods in India have found it ne
essary to send mechanics to ser
vice the machinery and others to
demonstrate its practical use.
Rai was especially interested in
the cooperative form of marketing
which, he feels, would benefit his
countrymen.
He says a “sweet feeling of
friendship” exists between his
country and ours and as we learn
to know each other better we will
have a better understanding of
mutual problems. In the final
analysis the aim of every country
is to create an economy that will
allow its people to live more gra
ciously, raising the standard of
living to the highest possible
level.
nai aamus ne nas nan a
“movie” concept of the Am
erican people and he has been
glad to spend some time in the
homes in the various sections
of the country and learn to
know the people as they really
are.
Rai and three other men from
India, who have spent two weeks
in Holt county, have gone
to Rock, Brown and Keya Paha
counties, after which they will
visit the Nebraska state fair and
Ak-Sar-Ben before they return
to the East where they have a
late fall date for sailing back to
their homeland.
The people of the Page com
munity found it an interesting ex
perience to meet Rai while he was
in that locality as a guest of the
Frank Beelaert family, and to gain
some first-hand knowledge of the
people of India.
