Another point to keep in mind is that pomegranates depend almost entirely on pollination by insects to fertilize the flowers and develop fruits, and that cross-pollination (i.e. pollen from another pomegranate plant) increases the fruit yield. So if you don't see মৌমাছি hanging around your ডালিম গাছ now and then, that might well be a reason. You could counter that by transferring some pollen yourself with a paint brush.

That is hilarious. Here is my question:

Can (thematic) plagiarism be acceptable for cultural uplift?
