FOODS and DRUGS in INDIA.
28-02-12
Here I am not writing
anything new. Most of the Indians are aware of spurious food and medicines
available in India.
‘How pure is your glass of
milk?’ Indian Express-24-2-12. Our
one glass of milk contain sodium
carbonate (washing soda) sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) sodium bicarbonate
(baking soda) Ammonium sulphate , urea and tapioca starch for longer shelf life
and thickening of milk.
Doctors say “the urea
content in milk can damage kidneys and caustic soda can cause acute
hypertension and heart ailments. Other chemicals are cancer causing agents are
washing soda and caustic soda.
Most of the Indians drink
milk. Think of small children drinking chemical
mixed milk every day. We are feeding our own children slow poison (milk).
According to the World
health organization thirty five per cent of world’s spurious drugs are produced
in India. Person taking spurious drugs
does not know that it is counterfeit. If there is no improvement even after
taking ‘drugs’ patient usually think the diagnosis was wrong . He keeps
consulting doctors and end up with series of tests resulting in increased
expenditure and mental agony.
In India you get specious
food and medicine everywhere. Like in
U.S and Europe we Indians need Food and drug Administration approval for
selling food and drugs in the market.
Few more examples are here.
Next time when you pop
tablets make sure you are not taking choke powder pill!
When you buy coffee powder
you get fifty per cent coffee powders and little bit of chicory, rest consist
of roasted and powdered tamarind seeds.
Dusted tea powders are mixed
with red wood particles chemical powder.
We Indians use tamaric
powder in most of the curry (gravy). Only few percent of tamarind powder is
used rest they mix it with industrial color chemicals (dye).
My branded cigarette made
by India’s leading manufacture consists of Virginia tobacco and wood
particles. My manufacture will claim my
cigarette is counter fit! Nobody make duplicate cigarettes it is the same manufacturers
make duplicate cigarettes!
Fifty percent of automobile
spare parts available in Indian markets are duplicate. When you ask for spare
parts shop owner will give you original which cost double the amount of cost.
In case if you don't buy original because of high cost then he will offer you duplicate
spare parts at half the rate! We Indian
like cheap and best! Perhaps this could be one of the reasons for high rate of
road accidents in India. List is incomplete.....
Counterfeit items are not
always manufactured by other parties. In some of the case original manufactures will make spurious food and
medicines by using substandard ingredients! Because of corrupted
government officials spurious food and drugs will be available in Indian
market. There are few ways to stop
spurious food and drugs.
One, Higher government
officials to check manufacturing plants periodically to make sure that manufactures
are not making spurious medicines.
Two, Buying food and
medicines from the market and send it for laboratory test periodically.
Three, Engage (reward
suitably) public to report spurious food and medicine manufacturing companies to
the higher officials.
Stringent punishment should
be meted out for manufacturing spurious drugs and food manufactures. A part
from sealing manufacturing plant imprisonment and heavy fine should be imposed
on offenders
.
Yolu will find root of the problem is corrupted
government officials. White crime like corruption
and bribe taking by government official should consider as serious offence.
Non-bail able warrant, heavy fine and imprisonment can bring down number of corrupted
government officials.
We Indians know our food and
medicines are spurious but what can we do? Like our local movie hero we do not
beat up our health minister. It is just one of the news we read it from our newspaper.
We Indians are used to live with maladies. If you ask our P.M or health
minister they will tell you it is not a serious issue at all! In India we have
hundreds of serious issues like high level corruption, terrorism internal and
external (cross border terrorism) honour
killing, untouchability, Maoist, nexalism, malnutrition, rape, growing crime
rate... we Indians are used to it!
We need national level high
powered health inspectors to check adulterated food and medicines. Every time they unearth spurious food and medicine
making factories they should have the power to seal and put people responsible
behind the bars for long period of time without bail and parole.Unless and until there are
stringent law to deal spurious food and medicines manufactures, they will
continue to feed our people with poison.
There are ways to eradicate
corruption! First we have to find who is responsible for corruption? Is it government
officials or we the public?
It's like who will bell the cat 😺? People encourage government officials to take bribe , over the years government officials take/demand bribe as their birth right . No money, no work can be get it done by government officials.
To get the clear picture I
will write about how to eradicate corruption in India!
Friend,
Jivan.
People write to enlighten
others! Do you believe me? I write articles out of sheer boredom! But it is
hard to believe.
