MAGGI NOODLES

I am disturbed reading the news on the issue of low quality Maggi Noodles, for which many states are banning its use for a specific time. I regret it and express my sense of guilt to the management of Nestle India. Just consuming these noodles, Indians do not get diseases or die earlier than expected. It is shame to know that often such shallow things happen in democratically ruined India.

Compared to noodles, majority of Indians consume more harmful products like tobacco and alcohol. Every year millions of Indians are suffering out of many diseases caused by these fatal products and many are dying desperately. The Government of India is getting taxes from the sale of these deadly products and spending that money for the welfare of good people like me in India. This is like collecting money from patients and dead bodies and offering that money to brides and bridegrooms as gifts. What a culture in India? Narendra Modi cannot ban tobacco and alcohol from India because he is a hypocrite. He can allow his regulatory bodies to ban Maggi Noodles in many parts of India because it is a fresh and superficial issue for him and his government. Unless the idiots and rogues and bastards of our regulatory bodies (drug control units of centre and states in particular) do something or the other now and then, to make their presence felt by us, we don’t get fresh news of controversy in our newspapers. I believe that 90% of food and drug inspectors in India must be hanged publicly for their negligence in carrying out their responsibilities honestly. Narendra Modi cannot do it in his lifetime.

Indian hotels are known for uncleanliness. Thousands of hawkers sell foods on pavements.

Nobody checks medical stores frequently. Any idiot can start a medical store and sell rubbish.

You can bribe the traffic police and move away. They are authorized to do anything they like on roads.

Police can torture you like anything anywhere. Nobody can change their attitudes and culture in India.

Government teachers may or may not provide quality education to the students at those schools.

60% of the fast foods and packaged foods we are consuming now in India are harmful to all of us.

There is unlimited corruption in defense services. We are spending billions of rupees for their welfare.

Politicians can talk anything and get into corruption to any extent, in any party, in any state.

Hospitals and nursing homes can throw harmful trash in our streets carelessly.

In India, what you can discuss happily always is “burning issues”. They have been burning since independence. We have no moral values to solve them from their roots. Creating and discussing a fresh issue is our habit as Indians. The issue of Maggi Noodles is not a bigger one compared to the unlimited number of burning issues in India, which we have been facing for decades. If Coca Cola and Pepsi drinks are not harmful, why Maggi Noodles? The other day, they talked a lot about banning Amway products in some regions because it is against the dead and worthless policies of India. I have been using Amway products for long. They are better than hundreds of products made in India.

In India, all are concerned about ‘making money’ but not ‘how to earn that money’. Those running the central and state governments, are the first rate criminals in India. If we hang them first, we can change India. They talk about patriotism and Indian values on stages for impressive speeches but what is happening at ground level. They are running fraudulent businesses; they are encouraging unscrupulous entrepreneurs in every part of India; they are ruining the lives of people of India offering them low quality foods and services. Governments and bureaucracy are the bodies of criminals and sinners in India. In such highly polluted and corrupt state of affairs in India, Maggi is not an issue at all. Indians have been accustomed to deadly products, ineffective and corrupt administration of state and central governments and so many other drawbacks and demerits of culture in India, promoted by our dirty rulers for decades. Indians do not die because of consuming these few noodles. Nestle India is just a helpless victim in this scenario. No Indian politician or minister is expecting the best foods only to be made and sold in India. This is a plain truth. Then why should we blame one company against the other, now and then. In India, anybody can make anything and sell to anybody. Governments want tax income.

Can we ever see the kind of standards of governments in nations like the USA, Canada, New Zealand and Norway? 

I often console myself for being an Indian because criminals and sinners of international standards are ruling us everywhere and ruining our lives every day and night. They are in all political parties.
