| Abstract
|
:
|
The Rajah of Darjeeling Organic Tea is about Makaibari the first tea garden in the Himalayan Highlands. This book captures the magic of Makaibari and provides a rare glimpse of one of Darjeeling 's greatest characters the Thunderbolt Rajah. He is a champion of the organic tea movement, a social activist for tea labourers and small organic farmers, an anthropologist who works tirelessly to preserve the cultural heritage of the Himalayan region and an environmentalist who fights to conserve its rich biodiversity. The Rajah of Darjeeling Organic Tea chronicles the evolution of Makaibari, a homestead which, by merely addressing and redressing its problems on the ground and from the ground, has become an ideal, a panchavati, where the home and the forest are merged in identity.
