Farmers confused by helmet-wearing seasonal farmers

Chapasthan has employed student leaders of universities and colleges, especially those who wear helmets regardless of whether they have bikes to boost agriculture.

Not only did their addition to the paddy fields during harvesting season change the profile of agriculture, it changed their social media profile pictures too.

Bhair Er Chotobhai, a first-year university student, recently added a new profile picture where he was seen standing with shears in hand right in the middle of a paddy field, with disturbed farmers in the corner of the frame.

When asked whether he abandoned his studies for farming, Bhai Er Chotobhai said, after taking his helmet off, "No, not yet. We are just helping our helpless farmers. I doubt whether they could take their crops home if we didn't come forward to help them."

Bhai Er Chotobon, another dedicated soul who prefers uttering slogans to studying, was caught reaping crops whimsically, apparently to draw the attention of the photographers as she stopped doing so as soon as the photographers left.

When asked what exactly brought her out underneath the scorching sun instead of studying in an air-conditioned room, Bhai Er Chotobon said, "Well, no other work can be as great as helping our farmers!"

The leader of students, Aadu Bhai, whose age implies that he is more an uncle than a brother, has asked everyone not to be confused by the helmets of his soldiers.

But the farmers continue to be baffled by this practice. Anxiety grips them as their crops get smashed by the unwanted parade of helpers.

The leader of students, Aadu Bhai, whose age implies that he is more an uncle than a brother, has asked everyone not to be confused by the helmets of his soldiers.

"Look, we are witnessing the hottest summer of the last few decades. Our boys are using helmets while helping you in the paddy fields just to save them from the scorching sun. Neither they nor their helmets pose any threat, especially for farmers," Aadu Bhai said loudly in front of the crowd, of which 70 percent were media people, 20 percent local inhabitants and 10 percent farmers.

Farmers, on the other hand, remained disrupted as they couldn't accept "the new farmers" on their fields. They remained clueless about what exactly compelled these bikers to leave the roads and join farmers in the fields.

When asked how they were feeling as they didn't have to do the toil, Tausif, the lead farmer, said, "Have you really been present here since morning? How will I fix my spoiled crops, smashed by the helpers? It actually doubles my work. We need more farmers, not bikers who act like farmers."
