The dhya thus abandoned does not renew the original growth which clothed it, like the pinelands of the Southern United States, which, if allowed to run waste after having been cleared and cultivated, clothe themselves either with oaks or with a wholly different species of pine from the original growth.
The waste dhya, which may have perhaps nourished a splendid growth of teak, becomes now only a dense jungle. The Gónd also raises pumpkins and beans; and this vegetable diet he supplements with game ensnared in the dhyas, to which peafowl, partridges, hares and the like resort.
Next year he will burn some more wood the first burning will have left many charred stumps and trunks, which he supplements with a little wood dragged from other parts of the forest on the same spot, and so the next year, by which time it will become necessary to begin a new clearing, or dhya.
