Bon Appetite India


In every calamity there is an opportunity, but in India, every calamity has been an opportunity for governments to blame someone else. According to today's government, all calamities in this country are because of Nehru, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, and anyone in the opposition in the states.

​The dichotomy or paradox is that in every calamity, there has always been prosperity for ministers in the ruling party. They can even create a calamity to ensure their own prosperity. Prosperity to levels that ensure their future generations are planned to be in power. They ensure their prosperity in every calamity, or ensure there is a constant calamity so there is perennial prosperity for their generations to follow.

​Is winning elections to stay in power the only motto, rather than building a nation that is powerful? Winning a World Cup in cricket will not take away the cup of problems the nation is facing. We should be winning against all calamities with self-sufficiency, where citizens never face cruel hardships like those seen during COVID for gas cylinders, or today, with citizens queuing for cooking gas. The same cooking cylinder that was used as a political campaigning exercise, fooling the poor, is now a struggle to obtain for many.

​With the war crisis in West Asia, there is a shortage of fuel. What have all the governments done since the time of India got it's independence? Having hostile neighbors, what have we prepared ourselves to take pride in, where basic survival security is concerned? The tallest statue in the world, which was built with Chinese help, also leaked? The biggest cricketing stadium, named after a living and ruling Prime Minister, which was a mess in the first monsoon? And finally, the Ram Mandir, which also leaked? If God cannot be protected from the rain, how can the country be protected? 

India has among the largest reserves of thorium, which can be used to generate electricity. That can produce cheaper electricity, than what is now produced with coal, gas and uranium which is a huge percentage of imports and other imported fuel material? Or has the invention of Modi, of making gas from sewer drains been proven successful? As of now, it is a nation going down the drain along with the war crisis. ​Even biogas can be generated from human excreta. New building constructions that are mandated to have rainwater harvesting could also be told to have septic tanks for human excreta to generate cooking gas.

​If politicians could stop mudslinging between the opposition and the ruling party, which could honestly be termed, in a crude but real way, as 'shit-slinging'. So much Parliament time wasted could have been used to plan how gas from human excreta can be implemented on a war footing. In times of war or otherwise, our energy imports could be reduced drastically.

Ending on a lighter realistic note: one man’s food can be made from fuel of another man's sh*t.

What is happening now is that politicians are simply feeding us sh*t of divisive politics and hate. Irony is many are even eating it. Bon Appetite, India!

Unfortunately Sunny is that what you wrote holds a lot of truth. As a non Indian, I see plenty of room for bright people to make a difference - Surprisingly- by Diverging away from India's "classic" Plagued politics.
