Genetically Altered Vegetables and the Life of Human beings

Dear Readers,

I would like to discuss on the issue of genetically altered vegetable and the life of human beings. The genetically altered vegetables are good for the sustenance of the human race provided it has the capacity to produce seeds and human beings can freely use it anywhere in the world. Because it needs less agricultural land and it will guarantee the production required for the sustenance of human race. As the human race progress and increase in number the agricultural land won’t progress. But we can improve the production and generate the food required for our sustenance. But this should not be controlled by a few industrialists and corporate companies. In the Bible there is a passage where the Israelites beg for the seeds for their agricultural production to other nations. And they were denied it, which created the war and destruction of other generations. Similarly the modern people and certain Nations like USA and France and Britain are trying to control the agricultural production of the world and utilise the agriculture for the maintenance of their superiority on other nations. It reflects the thoughts of the college students of 1990-s in USA, where they thought that they are the world police. Now all nations have to sit together and decide whether to allow the world seed controlling corporate company Monsanto to destroy the natural vegetation and local seeds of a Nation and rely fully on the genetically altered seeds for the production of the foods.

The corporate may think in terms of making profit at the expenses of the ordinary human beings. But the Nations have the full responsibility to support the life of a person and generate enough agricultural produce to sustain the life of its citizens. And it is the ethics that is questioned by the world traders. So it is the rightful duty of a person to support the life which is God himself and argue for the sustenance of life and the godly feature of human beings. Certain people think that by controlling the agriculture they can make money and control other nations. But the people will resort to looting and arson if they find that the company or a few people are exploiting them. This will end up in the killing of industrialist and wealthy which creates social unrest and unnecessary problem in the normal societal life of a person. SO don’t try to control the human beings by controlling the very existence of the human beings. Your suggestions and comments are welcome.

India and Its Progress in Future

Dear Readers,
The gulf between the rich and poor has grown over the years. Some parts of India and some groups of Indians have benefited a great deal from economic development. They live in a large houses and dine in expensive restaurants, send their children to expensive private schools and take expensive foreign holidays. At the same time many others continue to live below the poverty line. Housed in urban slums, or living in remote villages on lands that yield little, they cannot afford to send their children to school. The constitution recognizes equality before law but in real life some Indians are more equal than others. Judged by the standards it set itself at independence, the Republic of India has not been a great success. But it has not been a failure either.
As Mahatma Gandhi's follower Mira Behn wrote in 1949, by "science and machinery mankind may get huge returns for a time, but ultimately will come desolation. We have got to study Nature's balance, and develop our lives within her laws, if we are to survive as a physically healthy and morally decent species". So I would say that the future of India lies in the river linking projects which is very much related to agriculture. Over the years we have given more emphasis to Industries and traders. Now they are looting the people and only a few people become rich and majority becomes poor. But if we give emphasis to primary sector then majority will get benefit of it. For this the land requires the water, which can be easily given to our land by linking the rivers through canal system. Let the Ganga and Brahmaputra be linked to other parts of the country. If we try to link Ganga to Maharastra, then all barren lands of Madhya Pradesh and Vidharba will get fertile and people will become more rich and and the trade will increase in India itself.
In order to execute this projects we need to have strong national spirit and be able to think above the parochial considerations. Along with this emphasis we need to give more importance to education, then only people can utilize modern method and improve their agricultural production. This will certainly increase better progress and development of the Nation. Hope the readers will aspire for this realization of a future developed India and work for it to attain it with in our life span. Your suggestions are most welcome.
