Modern mechanized farming coupled with genetically modified seeds have
temporarily solved the food shortage but seriously unbalanced our health. We have
started depending on supplements like vitamins, minerals and nutrients leading to

serious threats to human health and survival including the VOKKALIGAs.

This trend has to change. But how?

Many Vokkaligas who left behind their vokkalu profession are successful in new fields.

They have achieved name and fame in India and abroad. But their longing for farming is
still hidden in their hearts, and not able to find expression.

This is the story of one such Vokkaliga who left Vokkalu to become a GEOLOGIST after

studying M.Sc., served in India and retired. I am now shunting between India and America.
During 1917-18, my trip to America changed my course of life. I got the opportunity to
understand America. The country is prosperous and people are proud to be American.
They are sincere, disciplined workers, and feel second to none in any field.

Prosperity has brought in lavishness in food, clothing and housing. In Indian
context,‘ROTI, KAPADA and MAKAN’ respectively. Material wealth has brought in
temporary mental satisfaction. But in course of time, health issues have mounted making
many adults and children obese. Often, elderly people are on one medication or the
other for survival. Pharmaceutical companies are thriving at the cost of the American

people.

As a result, Americans are changing to organic farming and sustainable food
production. This is a positive retro step back to nature, to regain health.

This development directed me towards one plant/tree in India referred to as the
MIRACLE TREE by modern scientists. This is the MORINGA TREE, popularly called the
DRUMSTICK TREE in India. In Kannada,the tree is called NUGGE MARA. Leaves are called
NUGGE SOPPU.
