Andrew balding reports from the annual cherry picking competition in Kolkata, in southern India.

As a new wave of berry-picking workers hit India and Nepal this week, a little-known tradition has emerged. They’ve nicknamed themselves the »Bharat Raksha» or the »Bharat Warriors».

«The BH (bharat) is the name of the Indian tradition of berry picking, which dates back to the 19th Century,» said Ashish Kumar, associate professor in the Department of Horticulture at IIT Bombay and the author of »Bharat Raksha: The Indian Tradition of Berry Picking».

A black fruit that cannot be reached by a black pole, is considered as a non-migratory fruit, with an average weight of 3 to 4 grams.

The remaining flesh has to be removed from the plant by removing the buds and stems, which means a bamboo pole, and a long bamboo rod – or by crushing it on a flat surface and scraping out the flesh.

This is what the workers call »Bharat raksha».
