There are over a thousand aromatic rice varieties but only a handful of those varieties can be called ‘Basmati’. The name comes from two Sanskrit root words – Vas which means aroma; and Matup which means ingrained. Having distinguished itself as the ‘white pearl’, basmati is an ancient grain of India.
Traditionally being grown for the selected royal families of India, Basmati has undergone a revolution, making India the No 1 exporter of this wonder rice in the world. While it has been cultivated in India for centuries, it wasn’t as widely available as it is today. The earliest recorded mention of Basmati was in the epic Punjabi tale Heer Ranjha which was written in 1777 by Waris Shah. Then, Basmati was considered an item of luxury & grown for royalty and was a notoriously difficult crop to grow which made it extremely expensive.
Things changed starting in the late 1960s when the Indian Agricultural Research Institute, popularly known as the PUSA Institute, under the leadership of Dr. VP Singh. Dr. Singhworked towards scientifically developing newer varieties of Basmati. India, at the time, became the epicenter of the Basmati revolution in the potential of newer and developed varieties of Basmati Rice by the IARI (PUSA Institute) and was instrumental in promoting, growing, and marketing these new breeds like PUSA-1121, which are now the most popular and most grown varieties of Basmati rice in the selective regions of India.
