Mangoes are considered the king of fruits in the summer season in our country. Sapan Joshi has beautifully compiled all the interesting stories about this delicious fruit, from its origins to the various varieties and tastes. According to a source, Joshi also talks about an incident involving the Anwar Rautauli mango variety, which was gifted to the then PM by the president of Pakistan. The late Indira Gandhi loved this variety, and the news spread quickly among mango lovers in the country, as per the source. Growers in the country became unsure and promptly approached the PM to clarify the origin of the Anwar Ratauli mango, and it turned out that it was not a new variety but the Ratauli mango from our own country. After the partition, a grower took a branch of the Ratauli tree and planted it in Pakistan, and that's what was gifted to her. The convincing presentation helped dispel the doubts about our varieties, and mango remained the king of fruits, as per the source.
