India may not cultivate or grow
GMOs Foodgrains, English vegetables or fruits, but they are as vulnerable as
the Western counterparts, where GMOs is a way of life. No doubt, the multifold increase
of Cancer cases and other GMOs’ related diseases in the country in recent years
has made me to write this post. Are we Indians safe from GMOs Foodgrains,
fruits or vegetables because we don’t grow them except Bt Cotton? Think about
it seriously and you will wonder as to how silently the government of India is
actually crippling the Nation to kill its citizen with various dangerous
diseases, so that the Medical, Pharma and Insurance industries can all suck the
last drop of blood and the hard earned money of the mass... that we all earn,
to spend on our treatments buying medicines, going for chemotherapy, high-end
medical investigations, treatments and insure our lives.... all these at what
cost?
Don’t get shock, because a recent
article on pulses made me to think about this deadly dangerous plan of the
government. I wonder, why I had never thought about such a dangerous move of
the government of India. I am sure many like me must have never thought about
the dangers of GMOs in our country. Many of us may not know that, our nation is
the largest importer of pulses (inspite of being the largest producer in the
world) in the world and these extra pulses come from countries like Myanmar
(Burma), Canada, USA, Australia, China, Kenya, Tanzania... where the killer
GMOs are grown in their industrial farming. So whether we grow GMOs or not, we
are actually consuming GMOs foodgrains and many other things in vegatables,
fruits, sugar and spices... without actually being aware of the dangers of GMOs
on our health.
In America many leading activists
against GMOs are insisting the government to label GMOs’ products &
foodgrains... so that people should know what they are consuming... awareness
against deadly GMOs are increasing day-by-day all across the globe. New Zealand
is the only country in the world, which doesn’t grow GMOs... but I wonder what
about all the imports from the West and other countries??? So even New
Zealanders are as vulnerable as we Indians are... of the deadly dangerous GMOs.
My Mamman, who adopted me as her
son, succumbed to Cancer five years ago in Secunderabad... now I can relate to
how she must have got those deadly Cancerous cells in her body.... like my
Mamman, there are numerous ladies and gentlemen who have succumbed to Cancer in
the nation and have been afflicted with various other diseases that are results
of consuming GMOs, which are imported in bulk from various countries. The
Government of India is surely to be blamed for allowing the silent killer
through imports of foodgrains, fruits, spices and vegetables from the Western
countries and other parts of the world, who are growing GMOs and exporting them
to the third world and developing nations.
No wonder, in the past two
decades, the medical, pharma and insurance industries in the nation, have grown
in leaps and bounds. There are more multi-speciality hospitals now in every
nook and corner, the pharma industry has been booming and so also the inusrance
industry... and the government of the nation has helped all these industries to
grow at the expense of common man... his hard earned money goes down the drain
in either spending a major chunk in medical treatment or inusre lives all the
while consuming GMOs without really knowing about it.
While all the Organic produce in
the nation is being exported by the nation for the Western countries to enjoy
healthy foodgrains, spices, fruits and vegetables... our government is
importing killer GMOs... whether it is Sugar, Maize, Pulses, Fruits or else
Vegetables... all that is imported are GMOs grown in various Western Countries
and others... where GMOs are grown in their Industrial Farms. And imagine with
the FDI in retail being opened by the corrupt Prime Minister of India Manmohan
Singh, all the dangerous killer GMOs products will find fancy shelves in
various Supermarkets in glossy packages to lure the Indians... who are crazy
for anything imported.
The Government of India should
label all the imported foodgrains, vegetables, fruits and spices... so that
people of India can avoid consuming GMOs and opt for safe Indian grown
produce... to safeguard one’s health and precious hard-earned money. Yes, there
is GMOs in your kitchen and diet too... and you may inflict Cancerous Cells of
other deadly virus that will harm your immune system to suffer... all because
our Government did not care to protect our own countrymen while feeding the
best healthy Organic Produce to the foreigners... The real irony is... who
cares?
