Do you know that barter system still exists in most villages in uttarakhand, may be true for many other parts of India also
Among the villagers within a village, they don’t sell their products (mostly agricultural) or service. They exchange for something else that the other person can offer. Villagers never have to buy things like milk and vegetables. Mostly they will have cows or buffalo if not they will have small garden around their houses where they grow vegetables. Most villagers in this Himalayan part of India, with their limited land grow cereals, more or less adequate for their family.
