Fishing is a popular activity in India that involves catching fish from various water bodies. In Hindi, fishing is known as \“machhli pakadna\“ or \“machhli marne ka kaam\“. India has a rich fishing tradition due to its long coastline and numerous rivers.
Traditional Indian fishing methods include using nets called \“jaal\“, fishing rods known as \“banshi\“, and traditional boats called \“dongi\“. Many coastal communities in states like Kerala, Gujarat, and West Bengal depend on fishing for their livelihood.
Modern fishing techniques in India include mechanized boats, sonar equipment, and advanced nets. The fishing industry provides employment to millions of Indians and contributes significantly to the country\“s economy through exports. |
