Brassicaceae week : !!! mustard and ghost !!! (Hooghly): Here SORSHE = mustard, MODHYE = inside, and BHUT = ghost.
First, something about ghosts, our ghosts are not the European or Sam type! Ours are very much human, sans body, and often humane too! After death men become BHUT (BRAHMODOTYI, if he is a Brahmin) and women become PETNI (SANKHCHUNNI, if she belongs to Brahmin caste)!!! In those older days there were also some other ghosts, MECHO-BHUT (fish loving type), GECHO-BHUT (always stays on trees), PENCHO-BHUT (crazy type), SIRINGE-BHUT (tall lamboo ji type), SKANDO-KATA (without head) etc!
Sometimes one or two Bhut become wicked and they enter into the body of good people. Then the affected person goes crazy and you need to call a OJHA to get rid of that wicked Bhut. I have heard that an OJHA burns mustard seeds to drive away the wicked Bhut out of the affected body!
But what happens when the Bhut stays inside the mustard seed itself ?
Nobody can answer! Or, maybe men-in-power do have an answer!
Well, everybody knows how important oil-seed it is, and condiment. SORSHE is essential in our everyday life –
Let’s move now to botanical aspect of this species. I found a few plants today (10/11/12) on a railway platform, perhaps some employee sowed some seeds there, along with a few other vegetables.
Species : Brassica juncea L. ?

Appears to be stunted form of Brassica juncea.
Please help in identification of this. It’s a local green leafy vegetable consumed in Arunachal Pradesh.
Local name- Gya Hama
Date- 11th February, 2020
Place- Village Old Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh
Looks like a kind of lettuce. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa )- a variety the prominent white wide vein in the leaf basal half is a dead giveaway that we are dealing with Brassicaceae leaf, often at the very early leaves.
look ar Bok choy, mustard varieties, some early cabbage, cauliflower leaves, even collard greens have this same kind of wide white soft to touch vein,
I do not know what this will turn out to be when it grows, the upper leaves will develop differently.
I will go with Brassicaceae leaf in early life of the plant and I have found the learn tani site to be useful.
so i will go with them. they know their local life and flora. Brassica juncea. Very common and important vegetable of Nepal !
