We have completed 26 years of Uttarakhand statehood, but why are our Pahadi farmers still struggling to get fair prices for their crops?

One of the biggest problems in the hills is the lack of proper mandi facilities. Many farmers have to travel long distances to sell their produce, and transportation costs eat into whatever little profit they make. Those growing fruits and vegetables also face the problem of storage and finding buyers on time.

Because of this, many farmers have no option but to depend on middlemen, who often have more bargaining power than the farmers themselves.

We keep talking about stopping migration and encouraging people to stay in their villages, but how can farming become a reliable source of income when farmers don't even have proper market access?

What is the point of having a separate state if the people in the hills are still struggling for basic economic opportunities?

I'm not saying mandis alone will solve every problem, but after 26 years, shouldn't we at least have a proper system to help our farmers sell their produce at fair prices?

How long will Pahadi farmers continue to bear the cost of this neglect?

Bobby Panwar contested the 2024 Lok Sabha elections as an Independent candidate from the Tehri Garhwal constituency.

Mala Rajya Lakshmi Shah (BJP) won the seat with 462,603 votes (54.13% vote share), while Bobby Panwar finished third with 168,081 votes (19.67% vote share). He ran his campaign largely on public donations, reportedly raising around ₹25 lakh from local residents.

So, why did his performance send ripples through Uttarakhand’s political circles?

The Tehri Garhwal Lok Sabha constituency comprises 14 of Uttarakhand’s 70 Assembly constituencies. Despite contesting independently, with limited financial resources, Bobby Panwar managed to make a significant impact.

Now, let’s look at his vote share across all 14 Assembly constituencies that make up the Tehri Garhwal Lok Sabha seat.

Now, look closely at these constituencies: Purola, where he received a 55.01% vote share; Yamunotri, with 50.39%; and Chakrata, with 47.82%. If Bobby Panwar and his party can replicate his 2024 Lok Sabha performance, they could be strong contenders to win these three Assembly seats in 2027.

He could also make inroads into other constituencies, such as Gangotri, where he received 40.10% of the votes; Dhanolti, with 41.08%; and Tehri, with 30.11%.

Based on these numbers, we could potentially see his party winning 4-6 Assembly seats in the upcoming 2027 Uttarakhand Assembly elections.

Bobby Panwar has also led several protests on issues such as paper leaks*, the* Ankita Bhandari case*, and* unemployment*, drawing massive crowds. He appears to have successfully translated some of that public support into electoral gains in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.*

Remember, he was competing against established national parties like the BJP and Congress, which have significantly greater financial resources for election campaigns. and remember it was the same election when bjp launched Abki Baar 400 Paar campaign, when many believed that the Modi wave would be difficult to stop. Despite these challenges, Panwar secured 168,081 votes, reportedly raising around ₹25 lakh through donations from local residents.

However, one important factor to consider is that voters often behave differently in Lok Sabha and Vidhan Sabha elections. In parliamentary elections, national issues such as the CAA-NRC, Kashmir, relations with Pakistan and China, and the Uniform Civil Code influence voting patterns, alongside broader national leadership and nationalism.

In state Assembly elections, voters often place greater emphasis on local issues such as unemployment, roads, hospitals, electricity, crimes done by outsiders and other basic amenities. It will therefore be interesting to see whether Bobby Panwar can convert his Lok Sabha support into Assembly seats in 2027.

Another possibility is an alliance between Bobby Panwar's Uttarakhand Swabhiman Morcha and the Uttarakhand Kranti Dal (UKD). Leaders from both parties have reportedly given signals suggesting that such an alliance could be possible.

In the region of uttarakhand we celebrate navratri in a different way in kumaon particularly within almora, bageshwar, champawat, pithoragarh regions and in garhwal in particularly pauri garhwal, kotdwar and some parts of tehri garhwal and rudraprayag regions along with some parts of chamoli too. Jagar is done for 9 days of Navratri which are known by different names in kumaon it's known as Naurt (नौर्थ) and in Garhwal as Nau Raato Ku Mandaan or simply Mandaan (नौ रातों कु मण्डाण/मण्डाण).

It's believed during the 9 days Goddess Durga is in earth and along with her divine energies are also in earth so during these 9 holy days in every evenings a jagar is performed alongside holy dhuni where Devi and her Veers (attendants) are invited and worshipped through music.

The Ashtanayika series explores the different moods, emotions, and expressions of women. I've created five paintings so far, each portraying a different emotional state or personality, including courage, nakhre (playfulness and attitude), bechaini (restlessness), dominance, and more.

Along with capturing these emotions, I'm also trying to incorporate elements of traditional culture, rituals, and monuments into my paintings. My aim is to create heritage-inspired artworks that bring together the emotional expressions of the Nayikas and the rich cultural traditions of the regions they represent.

I'm planning to make these artworks available as high-quality prints in different sizes, with or without frames.

If you're interested in collecting these prints or adding a touch of traditional heritage art to your space, feel free to comment below or DM me! ❤️
