Answer 2

Explanation:

The Old Bishnoi Village Khejdi Trees in the Desert: Today Marwar is a treeless waste of sand and rocks. But even in this desert, we can come across a different picture. It is the old Bishnoi village with groves of well-grown Khejdi trees. It is a very useful tree. It gives its shade and leaves for animals and pods for a delicious curry for men.

History of Marwar and Tribal Bhils: The Bhils were the original tribals of Marwar. At that time land was covered with thousands upon thousands of Khejidi trees and plenty of ker, ber and Sangari. Thousands of antelopes, blackbucks, chinkaras and nilgais roamed there freely. About 3000 years ago, hordes of invading cattle keepers from West and Central Asia poured into Marwar. The Bhils tried to resist the invaders. Their superior weapons and horses of the invaders forced the Bhils to retreat to Aravallis.

Vegetation of Marwar Affected: The large herds of cattle began to affect the vegetation. The seedlings and saplings were grazed down. They had little chances to grow. In the 13th century AD, the Rathores of Kanauj finally conquered the Bhils. The Rajputs now ruled the whole of Marwar.

Birth of Jambaji: In 1451, an extraordinary child was born in the village of Pipasar. He was named Jambaji. His father was Thakur Loha Singh and his mother was Hamsadevi. Jambaji was given the task of looking after his father’s large herd of cattle and sheep. The boy was fascinated by the beauty and grace of antelopes. There was nothing more thrilling than a fight between two well-grown stags.

Great Disaster Overtook Region: Jambaji was twenty-five when a severe drought overtook the whole region. The rain stopped altogether. In the first year of the drought, the animals could eat the Bajra straw stored in the houses. In the second year not a blade of grass was left standing anywhere. The drought continued for eight years.

People Forced to Migrate: The people cut down the last bit of leaves and branches from all the trees. The trees finally began to dry up. The stored grain was exhausted. The people ate khejdi pods and flour of dried ber seeds. They hunted every one of the starving blackbucks. Finally, the people abandoned all hopes. They migrated in masses. The whole country was barren without a tree or a cow in sight.
