Our food habits are such that we always combine two or three different food-grains or cereals i.e. Dal and Rice, Khichdi and Kadhi, Chapati and Dal, roasted Gram Dal and Kurmura etc. Thus each recipe is a combination of two or more food-grains/cereals and thus we do consume high standard protien. But our thinking has been blunted by the western publicity onslaught and in particular the educated class has now a firm belief that whatever is foreign is good and whatever is ours and native is bad.
The Govt. coffers which are filled with the hard earned money of the people (what can be aptly described as KHOON, PASINE KI KAMAI]; the same money is used in promoting the publicity of things which will increase the sickness of those very people. To undertake such publicity and to let others also do it is nothing but cheating, pretence and misuse of public funds.
Under whose pressure the Govt. is planning large scale publicity and production of these substances whose consumption gives sickness instead of nutrition? The answer perhaps lies in an article by Shri Rajni Kothari published in 'Sandesh' on 3rd May, 1987.
The Indians have faced the military attack from aliens for more then two thousand years. For the past 200 years, the culture of this coutnry is under attack, not with weapons, but witb misguiding propaganda. This false propaganda has made us forget our cu ture and its various facets.
The strength which is available from food-grains, fresh milk and pure ghee is not available from non-vegetarian food. The capability of food-grains, cereals, fresh milk and pure ghee to make people strong, keep them healthy and give them energy is never challanged. But the western scientists who themselves are very much the consumers of eggs, meat and fish have challanged the capability of these as sources of strength and also declared them as sources of disease.
Unfortunately, the population of this country is being ruled for the past 48 years by persons who have destroyed the fertility of the pious land of this country wbich was once considered the most rich land in the world. They have done this by wrongly conceived, unscientific agriculture policy and propogating eggs, meat and fish in the name of protien. They have created famine of food-grains, fresh milk, pure ghee and dry fruits as well.
These politicians are unable to provide people with a daily quota of 400 grams of Bajra, 100 grans of Tuvar or Urad dal and one litre of fresh milk which can provide all the necessary calories and other nutrients to the body. These politicians are capable of only one thing-borrowing from foreign countries, following their advice and mortgaging the future of this country to the world Bank.
The culture of this country is under attack, not with weapons but with foreign propoganda and the accomplices are the 'Amichands' of this country. These Amichands are too much willing to help the foreign powers to destroy the culture with the sole aim of clinging to power.
Article 51 A of the Indian Constitution has cast a duty on each citizen of this country to preserve and protect the sacred culture of our country. The common people may not perceive the unprecedented attack on our culture. But each intelligent person in the nation should see through this attack and caution the people against it and thus fulfil his constitutional obligation. The people who do not fulfill their fundamental duty, remain indifferent to it; even remain callous; are bound to lose their fundamental rights also.
