00:00Do you know that for the first time in India, coffee came in the beard of a Sufi saint?
00:25But when and how did the Bermuda Triangle of politics, art and coffee houses come into being?
00:31And what was in this coffee bean that the Ottoman Empire banned it out of fear?
00:37Welcome to Nazariya's Khao Gali, I am Ashish Atez and today we are going to break this creamy and intense story of coffee in Nazariya's cup.
00:46Believe me, coffee has not only bound friends, but has also bound the entire trade economies together.
00:54So, let's get started.
00:56From Ethiopia to Arabia, there is a famous story about the discovery of coffee in Ethiopia.
01:03It is said that a donkey named Kaldi lost his mind when he saw that his goats were jumping in excitement after eating these coffee red berries.
01:13When he went to the nearby monastery in fear, the monks there declared that these coffee berries had a devilish effect on him and immediately set him on fire.
01:24As soon as the coffee berries were lit, the room smelled of coffee, after which the monks themselves lost their minds.
01:31Later, these monks started using them to stay awake during long prayers.
01:37Controversy never left the side of coffee and coffee never left the side of controversy.
01:42In the 15th century, the Ottoman Empire's Sultan Murad IV banned coffee.
01:48He felt that people were getting more involved in coffee than needed and because of this, the dissent against coffee was increasing.
01:55You will be surprised to know that people were killed for drinking coffee and there was even a practice of drowning in water.
02:03The Islamic scholars of that time also considered coffee as an intoxicant like alcohol.
02:08By the 16th century, the Ottoman Empire had given up.
02:11They could not stop the flow of coffee.
02:14So why not turn this disaster into a business opportunity?
02:18Production started increasing rapidly, but they were extremely protective of it.
02:23As a result, all the Shurukhs were after coffee.
02:27In the 17th century Arabia, despite the ban on the export of fertile coffee seeds, these beans smuggled from Yemen to Europe.
02:36And coffee became a global treasure.
02:43In the midst of these strict coffee laws, a Sufi saint, Baba Budan, who was returning from Hajj from Mecca, smuggled 7 raw beans with coffee in his beard and brought them to India.
02:54And it is said that he grew these seeds in the mountains of Chikmangalur.
03:01Southern India, particularly the climate of Karnataka and Andhra region, was perfect for coffee.
03:07In the 18th century, the British converted southern forest land into commercial plantations and made huge profits by selling Indian coffee on the roads of London to Europe.
03:17If we look at it from one perspective, the coffee beans that Baba Budan had smuggled here, the British grew them here, commercially smuggled them to Europe and sold them all over the world.
03:30Coffee houses, Indian revolutions.
03:32I know, I know, India is a tea-leading country.
03:35But coffee is also an important part of our social life.
03:40Since the 1950s, Indian coffee houses have been very important for India's intellectual and social life.
03:46Here, freedom fighters, artists and writers have come together and power, creativity and revolutionary thought have also been exchanged.
03:54Our perspective says that in the past, coffee played an important role in building small, big social and art revolutions throughout India.
04:05India is the 7th largest coffee producer in the world.
04:09And every year, more than 300,000 tons of coffee is produced.
04:13The largest share in this is 71% from Karnataka.
04:17Today, many different coffee varieties are grown in India, two of which are Arabica and Robusta.
04:24Arabica coffee is smoother and less bitter.
04:28It is grown in Coorg, Chikmangalur and Nilgiris.
04:31Robusta is strong and has a high caffeine content.
04:35Robusta is found in some parts of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala and Tamil Nadu.
04:39It is very popular among small-scale farmers for its high yields.
04:43Now, all the people have different coffee styles.
04:46So, what are we waiting for?
04:48Let's start the countdown.

05:35what is your favourite coffee style?
05:38But despite so many coffee varieties and types,
05:41Indian coffee farmers, especially small growers,
05:44face a lot of challenges due to climate change and fluctuating market prices.
05:49Many farmers are asking for government intervention
05:52so that they get financial support
05:55and fair trade practices.
05:57I hope local government and coffee companies
06:00acknowledge them as soon as possible
06:01and take some drastic action to resolve these issues.
