So when I in Dhanivari, Baban and I started looking for Devu Handa and found a greying old man wearing a cap, sitting
outside his house on a charpoy. An ex-sarpanch of the village, he had acres of land, a huge house and a large family. After
exchanging the usual pleasantries we came to the topic of Kasbai. The mere mention of Kasbai and Devu Handa drifted
into the past. His eyes turned dreamy and with a tremble in his voice he told us how the entire village at one time grew only
Kasbai. He said, "There was a time when people passing our village during lunchtime would be forced to stop and ask for a
meal. Such was the alluring aroma of Kasbai." The entire area would have this heady aroma hanging in the air as all the
houses cooked the same rice. Today, he said, no one grew Kasbai and everyone had shifted to growing the new hybrid
varieties. He claimed he had to force himself to eat this rice that was so insipid.
With the advent of irrigation, farmers were tempted to grow a second crop and Kasbai, being a long-duration rice, was
replaced by the shorter duration hybrids so that the harvest could be done earlier. This ensured that the farmers could
take a second crop.
I asked why he had shifted if he was so unhappy with the hybrids. No one forced him to did they? He smiled and replied
that their fields did not have fences and once the harvest was over the cattle were released into the fields. If my field alone
has Kasbai it will be a treat for the cattle,' he explained.
Why would the travellers passing through the village be forced stop and ask for a meal?
becuse the entire villageat one time grew the kasbai​

Answer 2

Why did people stop

Explanation:

People would be forced to stop for a meal due to the aroma of the Kasbai rice cooking. It would make them want to stay back for a meal of the delicious Kasbai which was much more flavorful than than the insipid tasting hybrid rice. Also since, the whole village used to grow and cook Kasbai, the aroma would be strong and would hang heavy in the air. This would entice passing traveler to stop and try the rice that the village was once famous for.
