Residents of Bhimsen village in India's Bihar have not tasted onion for the past 200 years

Patna: As protests over the sky-high cost of onion get louder across the country, a village in Bihar has no grouse from the government about its price hike.

The reason? Its inhabitants abhor onions and thus, this pungent vegetable is obviously neither allowed nor used in their kitchens.
Onion is currently being sold at Rs40-50 (Dh3.24-Dh4) per kilogramme in the Indian markets despite many measures initiated by the government to check the price rise.
Reports state that the residents of Bhimsen village — tucked away in the Amarpur block of eastern Bihar's Banka district — have not tasted onion for the past 200 years, fearing its use may bring sudden disasters and rob them off their peace.
Local villagers assert that an incurable disease spread like an epidemic when Bhimsen village — which has a population of some 500 — came into existence some 200 years back and their ancestors believed these all happened due to the curse of the deities.
"It was then decided by our ancestors that henceforth nobody in the village will use onion in anyway.
"Thus, the practice which began some 200 years ago still continues. The people do not use onion apprehending this may bring disasters in the family or the village," Umapati Singh, a local villager, said. The reason? Its inhabitants abhor onions and thus, this pungent vegetable is obviously neither allowed nor used in their kitchens.
