Abstract

Ram Prasad Burman of Barghat village is back from fishing in the Bargi reservoir on the Narmada. He has caught three medium-size fish, barely weighing two kilogrammes. “That is the reward for a whole night’s work,” he says bitterly, receiving Rs 30 from the fishers’ cooperative of his village. His neighbour Rekha Burman has nothing to show but a net full of commercially worthless chehal—a tiny local fish variety. “The whole lot will not weigh more than 250 g,” she says ruefully. “I had better take it home for lunch.”
