THE HISTORY OF FOOD: HOW DISHES VARY FROM ONE STATE
TO ANOTHER IN INDIA
One can trace the history of the food just like the history of humans
Talking about the history of food, one can easily extract the data since human
evolution has started. It was not possible to live without food during that time
and it is not possible to survive even today. During early days, when we talk
about the Pre-Historic Era such as Paleolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic, that
represent the traces of early human ancestors (300,000 BC), people used to
hunt the animals and gather the fruits from the trees, and latterly they had
started doing agricultural activities since Indus Valley Civilization had
started right after the decline of Neolithic phase. Well, during the Neolithic
Period, the agricultural activities had started already but it was Harappan
Civilization that gave us the traces of proper agricultural activities. Wild
barley and rice were their important ones.
2. Right after the decline of the Harappan Period, the Vedic Period started around
600 BC. It was the almost rural atmosphere during that period but since then,
in India, the process of Agricultural activities had started.
Well, the history of food is as long as our human history is. The role of
food has always been precious in our human life. Different kind of crops used
to be brought from different-different places in India and our India is still rich
in that context.
One needs to understand human history from its beginning to know how and
why agriculture had started? What kind of fruit and animals our early ancestors
used to eat? What kind of food did they use to prefer?
How dishes vary from one state to another?
India is a nation that is so vibrantly diverse and every state exhibits a different
kind of culture, tradition, a way of life, language, and cuisine.
India has been very rich when we talk about the main ingredients of food,
which are various spices. After the Mughal Period had declined, many foreign
companies like Portuguese and some French has started coming over to India
to colonize, and there they started trading the spices from India to their
countries.
Since different-different states of India consist of people with different
cultures, their way of living and cuisines have always been different too. As
India is a country full of diversity and culture, the best part comes out that one
3. can try the same dish but with different tastes and names that vary from states
to states or one can say culture to culture.
Generally, every state of India plays a very eminent role when it comes to the
cuisine but the famous cuisines are from: Hyderabad, Andhra-Pradesh,
Bihar, Uttar-Pradesh, Punjab, Assam, Gujrat, and there are some states as
well.
Every state of India has its own special food. Like Bihar has Litti Chokha,
Karnataka has Bisibele Bath, Hyderabad has Biryani, and etc.
Well, these days there are already many restaurants that offer special food of
different-different states. In Delhi, there are Bhawan of every state of India
and they have their own canteen, loaded with their specialties. Then in Delhi,
a place like Cannaught Place and Delhi Haat also have famous outlets from
every state that offer special food, particularly famous in their states.
