60 minutes, India – Mountain Culture

83 year old Vidyadutt Sharma holds the record for growing the heaviest radish in India weighing 23 kgs and he now aims to beat the world record of 31 kgs. Over the last five decades, he has built up Moti Bagh, his 5 acre farm in a small Himalayan village in northern India. All around him lie ghost villages, left to die, with no one to till the land – a chilling testimony to large scale migration by locals in search of employment in the cities.
