  The same thing I had been thinking about all over again. now he began to speak to me again. He was revealing more information. He was forcing all of us to observe. From this I came to realize that the differences in ethnic origin are somewhat obvious between the highlands and coastal regions. Apart from the racial distinction between the mountains and coastal Malagasy, one can also speak of political differences. In the late nineteenth and the nineteenth centuries, the emperor of Marina united the Marina regime with the Malagasy brothers and brought the neighboring Bestial people under their control. He later increased the control of the marina for the most part along the coast. The military resistance and eventual defeat of most coastal peoples was convinced of their secondary status in the Marina-Bestial Alliance. The French colonial administration capitalized during the 19th and 20th centuries and this political inequality was further exacerbated by the appointment of existing marina government infrastructure to run their colony. After independence, this legacy of Madagascar's political asymmetry troubled the people of Madagascar. Candidates' ethnic and regional identities often helped or hindered their success in democratic elections. But still the oppression of the native tribes, the occupation of their territories, the occupation of the land, the monitoring of the natural resources of the tribal patrons, when the opportunity arises, the symptoms of extremism operating in the outside world are also beginning to appear.

  We have come even deeper to know more. Punarvasu was proceeding in inquiring of the dash or protector of Gima. It was then that I met his scientist friend. The researcher's name was Will. Will was in contact with him for the past four years, but they had not met until today. While we were questioning, he recognized him, but our focus was more on Dash's inquiry. He had been chasing us for the last fifteen minutes. I had no idea the Punarvasu’s identity was so far away. Punarvasu was linked to it through the Internet. He was helping Will in various ways. I was shocked to see the respect in Will's mind to punarvasu. But we were really jealous of him. But Will was going to stay with us for a while. We thought it might be a dash Malagasy. So we decided to go to the original Malagasy settlement and go find the dash. Will, who gave us very accurate information, said that recent genetic studies on the Malagasy people have shown that all are mixed African and Asian ancestors. The Malagasy ethnic group forms over 90 percent of Madagascar's population and is typically divided into 18 ethnic subgroups. Recent DNA research revealed that the genetic makeup of the average Malagasy person constitutes an approximately equal blend of Southeast Asian and East African genes, although the genetics of some communities show a predominance of Southeast Asian or East African origins or some Arab, Indian, or European ancestry. Southeast Asian features specifically from the southern part of Borneo are most predominant among the Merina of the central highlands, who form the largest Malagasy ethnic subgroup at approximately 26 percent of the population, while certain communities among the coastal peoples (collectively called côtiers) have relatively stronger East African features. The largest coastal ethnic subgroups are the Betsimisaraka (14.9 percent) and the Tsimihety and Sakalava (6 percent each). Chinese, Indian and Comoran minorities are present in Madagascar, as well as a small European (primarily French) populace. Emigration in the late 20th century has reduced these minority populations, occasionally in abrupt waves, such as the exodus of Comorans in 1976, following anti-Comoran riots in Mahajanga. By comparison, there has been no significant emigration of Malagasy peoples.The number of Europeans has declined since independence, reduced from 68,430 in 1958 to 17,000 three decades later. There were an estimated 25,000 Comorans, 18,000 Indians, and 9,000 Chinese living in Madagascar in the mid-1980s.Most of this information was going through my head. But he did record all the information till now. He was talking to Will even when talking to us. Then I jokingly told him that my dear scientist brother, we wanted to find Dash. Researchers will understand what this means. After this he told us something about the intelligence of punarvasu , so that we were very tired and for some time, the appreciation seemed a bit boring. Even today, if I remember the occasion, I laugh a lot, because I had the same situation with Nitya and Gima.

  Walking too far, we found a unique place in a settlement. It was not inhabited by Malagasy brothers and had no native choice. They had arrived in that area in the nearest time. Because like the rest of the people, this settlement was made up of people and the people there seemed to have been influenced by different cultures. By the time we got there it was night. So we decided to get up and then investigate.

  When we got up in the morning, we saw strange sightings. There was a medium-sized statue. It was made using all native material, but the statue had no face in that state. Upon questioning the residents, they realized that it was a replica dash. We had such an idea, but nobody thought the dash had anything to do with it. What the hell is he doing here?, we have no idea about it. There was an earthen pot of dust, a statue made of stones, leaves and shrubs. This statue made by a very skilled man was unique. But he did not have the splendor of vastness. He was very ordinary, but not the face of the statue. So we were feeling a little disappointed. There was no point in coming here. But we still had to find out dash; about him. We thought maybe this was the information that would take us to him. Because that's how we got here so far. We started thinking. Even young children, we started asking about the dash. But the new generation never saw him. But the respect that Dash had in his mind was a rare comment. The excitement we had about learning from the things that children do alone. After much searching we have found the right person. The person may have been the oldest person in the place, as almost everyone suggested the person's name. We got to that person. The man's name was Shin. Shin was blind from birth and he was less likely to be single. He asked them for information about the dash, but in return for that information, he offered us a working condition. After we said yes, he started talking about the dash.

  When Shin was traveling with his five siblings to the island five years ago, they met Dash on a trip. The dash came from somewhere in western India. He wanted to know about the strange and unique animals, plants and birds in Madagascar. Departing from the west coast of India, much of the conversation between Dash and Shin depended on nature. Even at that time, Shin was astonished to hear his unique thoughts in this area. He was a proponent of nature's powers and message, as well as of praise. Wherever possible, he looked for ways to conserve nature. He would try other options only if there was a greater need. Later, Shin's three brothers died in a sea storm. The two brothers were seriously injured at the time. At this stage they reached Madagascar. But Shin was new to Madagascar's forestry to treat those wounds and siblings. They are less likely to be seen in it. There was nothing Shin could do in this test but Dash was familiar with Madagascar. At least he knew about this place. Dash took care of the two siblings and remedied them. Healed them. But one thing Dash always worried about was that he couldn't cure Shin. It was then that he was determined that he would continue to help everyone wherever he went. The new seminar will take over. Shin stopped saying this because it was too late. He told us to do the work while we slept. That's what we wanted to do. It was only then that he had the condition that he would tell us the next meeting. We had to get up early in the morning and cross two large mountains and Forest. Then we had to find the tomb of Shin's brothers and bring the flowers of the strange species found there. Although this may seem simple, in fact we realized the seriousness of the journey when we set out on a journey.

  We found it almost impossible to get up early in the morning because of the late night sleep. But Gima got up early in the morning and forced us to leave. So we all remembered that if we really think we were here for Gima. Gima was the cause of all this, without knowing it. Somehow all of us were ready. Now our journey has begun. Already we were half asleep; we had to climb the mountain. So all were nailed to the spot. But Gima was determined. Even Nitya couldn't speak to her anymore. So I also preferred to keep quiet. Finally the journey began. We saw differ
ent sides of Madagascar's natural aesthetic. Once again we saw new species, including plants with different animals and birds. We couldn't believe it. But to that effect, we were climbing steep hills. Gima's willpower was remarkably extraordinary. Now it was noon, we reached the top of the mountain with the sun. Gima was leading the way and Nitta was accompanying her as a complementary companion. The wonderful re-inspection of punarvasu also protected us from various dangers. By the time we reached the Forest across both hills, we were all tired. Now I ,Nitya and also our excitement are gone. We had not eaten anything since morning. But Gima was still not stopping. At this time, Punarvasu was beginning to observe nature less and gima more. Right now, I thought he should be reading her feelings but I could see a little disappointment on his face. The reason for this was because it was a mysterious Protector or a dash, so I was upset. Because if I had to think of Gima, her secret protector would have seemed good to me. But it was worth the Punarvasu. Really bad times of punarvasu were not over. It still hurts him. At that point, I really didn't want the work that was given to us to be done and Shin didn't want to tell us the next thing. At that point, the nitya stopped and she stopped Gima too. she was very tired. She couldn't even walk. We had some lunch. We immediately fell asleep. When I woke up very early in the morning, I realized the night had passed and it was very tough for all of them.

  After a while, as I slept, Nitya's leg was suddenly swollen. She was crying all night. Punarvasu and Gima were with her all night. Right now she was feeling better. Nitya was now sleeping soundly. But Gima and punarvasu couldn't sleep overnight. He had decided to go back in the morning, thinking it was too dangerous to return at night. Now Gima also seemed frustrated with him. Most likely the same thing might have been understood by the nitya, so she started talking. Her feet were still swollen but she refused to turn back. Because With little to travel, the rest of the way was left. She had decided to fulfill her dream of finding Gima's Dash. It was then that I began to feel proud of her. Because punarvasu and my friendship were as intact as it was with Nitya and Gima. It was dangerous for her to take her on such a trip, so someone had to stop near her. It was also not fit to leave her alone in the forest. She recognized that her moral values would have been harmed in the sense that if Gima had stopped, then Shin could not have done his job and resisted her. Punarvasu recognized that there was a lack of trust between himself and Gima, so even though he had the opportunity to spend alone time with Gima, he stopped by and sent me along. I was a little sad about this because there was still no conversation between the two. There was no such opportunity. Leaving it again, Gima and I left. We returned with the flowers, but nitya and punarvasu were nowhere to be seen. They had gone on a return trip. By evening we reached all the settlements. We learned that As a result of the excessive foot pain, he came back with her. The leg pain has led to nitya. She couldn't even walk when she returned. He had to lift her right over her shoulder. Nitya had endured a lot for Gima and When she was brought back, the punarvasu was half dead because of pain. He too was bursting with fever. but still He had taken her to the settlement.. Both were lying in bed. It was very sad to see them.

  After three days, as she got up on the bed, it seemed like a different idea. Her legs were healed, but she felt a little uncomfortable mentally. It was as if she was looking at the world in a new way. When I started talking to her, first of all, she inquired about him and only after making sure that he was okay, she started telling the next. It was then estimated that the return journey was very difficult for both. So guess what, that return trip was very difficult for both. Equally they were painful and irritating.

  NITYA AND PUNARVASU RETURNING TO SETTLEMENT

  She had a lot of pain in her legs, but she was referring to it as the genetic cause of it all. Her pain was very helpless. There had also been such events earlier in his childhood. But at this point, she thought: But for the moment, she thought she could or should not live. But he continued to support her till the end. She did not dare. but he cared. There was a time on the return trip that Nitya was try to committing suicide, but due to him she stopped. If there was anyone else at Punarvasu, one would have left, or else they would have lost Patience.She was saying this because on the return, the Punarvasu’s body was also leaving him. He was hitting just as the fever was hitting the nitya. Nitya was also aware of the fever in the acute pain of the feet. She was curious as to what was more disturbing between the two. But the Internal energy of the Punarvasu was stronger than that fever. it was not letting him stop. When he reached the settlement, he too fell down, but he did not give up. Upon hearing this, the courtyard was coming. They came to the village, But even as difficult as it may seem to be this nitya and me, the Punarvasu’s past is far more difficult and frightening. Talking about this, the nitya stopped. she went out to seek.

  GIMA AND STATUE OF SECRET PROTECTOR [ DASH ]

  Punarvasu was standing on the far side of the mountain, taking the morning sunshine. He was completely healed. When I looked at the nitya, I was shocked. Because the way she was looking at him, I had already seen that smile. The same smile that I had seen on Gima's face for her mysterious Protector. I kept staring at her and the thoughts started to fade into my mind. As soon as she ran toward him. She went to thank him. By the time I reached that, When I reached the punarvasu, I realized that nitya looking at him; he was looking toward gima who looking at statue of the dash It was there that I realized that a storm of emotions had arisen in this place and the two triangles that were intimately involved in love were formed. Yes, two love triangles. The first of mysterious Protector or dash, Gima and Punarvasu; second of Gima, Punarvasu and now suddenly nitya trapped. But there was one more strange thing to do. That is, these two triangles were intertwined or colliding with each other. The definitive decision of anyone from one triangle would have the same effect on the life of the people in the triangle as well as on the life of the other triangles too. In order to not be too shocked to anyone, I was left in the story just to wish everything to be okay Because before getting into this triangle of nitya, I was able to twist a bit. But then it was going to be too heavy.

  After dinner we were expecting to find out about the next batch of the dash and where it would be right now. But it was a little late for Shin to come. In order to spend that much time, everyone asked about the return journey. Nitya praised him by talking a lot about him. She was telling everyone about the events and experiences she had told me. With her view, we see various aspects of punarvasu’s nature. I could see the shadow of her changing thoughts for Punarvasu. Seeing her changing thoughts, Gima was also thinking something interesting. As Nitya was talking more about him and the smiles on Gima's face were diminishing; her mind was burning a little. I was also enjoying the occasion, which was full of excitement and jealousy.

  Now Shin arrived at the place where we were waiting. He thanked everyone once again for bringing flowers and started the next event. Dash left his home. He never mentions his address to hide his identity, but he comes back every year and meets Shin hiddenly. When he arrives, he will help. Once upon a time there was a shortage of food in this area. Then he made the people live with great courage. He used to steal food from merchants and ships who came to shore. Shin and his remaining siblings were his companions at the time. Shin never got along with them. But each time he returned, Shin's siblings praised Dash and told him everything that had happened. It was safe for everyone to escape from the ship, making proper planning according to the structure of the ship. Because Shin had a lot of knowledge in this area. His father used to work on various ships. As a child, Shin's father used to take them along. All because of blindness, they used to touch a ship and make a replica in mind. That is why so many ship plans were printed in their minds. This talent made them a fantastic shipwright. Dash embraced those plans in a great way. In the same way, dash saved Shin and settled his hunger strike. His patience was amazing. He didn't even hit Shin's siblings until he did and they didn't hurt anyone. But every year
for a specific time, he left Madagascar somewhere, they don’t know where he came from and what he was going to do. He used nature to build habitable homes and seminars without harming nature. It contained the message of conserving the forests of nature. So his statue was full of vines. He was starving. At the same time, he was punishing the merchants for their inaccurate, loss of nature. Therefore, his discussions continued for a long time. He had read from Shin and his siblings that "the only culprits were to loot the people who were harming and cut the forests, the need for food left by themselves." But even when Dash was not there, his siblings made a big mistake of not knowing Shin. As he plundered others, nature became angry on them and they died in the forest. The tombs of the two were built in the same place as a symbol of failure. Taking his failure, he had to take those flowers and place them on the statue of Dash. It was as if they were to say, "We will not make that kind of mistake again. Nature has punished those who made that mistake. " Dash would come this year too, but he had not been to the settlement for a long time, as he understood the actions of Shin's brothers. Such was Shin's opinion. Shin said that he would never come to Madagascar again. It seemed a clear sign of his not coming back. So a dash of statue was erected to honor his work and to be self-sustaining and not to make such a kind of mistake again. Shin's health was deteriorating day by day. This statue would propagate after them for generations. Shin fell asleep, recalling the dash.
