EU SET TO BAN INDIAN BASMATI

In UAE, we never buy Indian foods, except where no alternative is available.. Once I bought Indian Basmati thinking that it was Pakistani rice, and immediately we knew the difference after cooking.. You know crops subjected to extensive harmful pesticides VS crops not subjected to harmful pesticides..

Anyway, one Pakistani brand is the best overall.. my God, the aroma and the long grain.. it quadruples the taste of Biryani.. wow..

Similarly, Shan/ National has no competition in terms of quality..

Who would choose Yellowish Oily Priya over Shan?

Basmati rice is a Pakistani product. India should have never been allowed to use our product and brand name.

"Earlier this year, Gurnam Arora, Kohinoor Foods Joint managing director, was quoted inIndian media reports as saying that the EU norms are “unjust, one-sided and not in the interest of farmers,” and raised concerns the trade would shift over to Pakistan, which does not use the pesticide on its rice supplies."

Boycott kohinoor products in UK. Be Pakistani, buy Pakistani.
Few years back UK firms awarded big contract to Pakistan for basmati rise import and what India did? They supplied under same name and packaging bad substandard quality rice to UK with Pakistani stamps to defame our exporters and we are one of them, we exposed them in UK courts but damage was done...many shipments were cancelled and awarded to Indian exporters on reduced prices this is how India helps their exporters to hurt Pakistani trade, our Govt and agencies should keep an eye over Indian baniya.

In Canada we can find Pakistani alternatives to Indian ones.

Like National and Shan brands.
In Canada we never buy Indian products.
In Canada we
Devil knows most of the South Asian products in Canada are from India, especially food items. I am yet to see a single 'Pakistani only' store. Not in vancouver atleast. Heck most of the food south asian items sold are in deed made/produced in India.

BTW, Indian diaspora in Canada is 10 times that of Pakistani. :rofl: :lol:

Never knew about basmati thing though , but seriously why we allowed them to trademark that name when they don't even grow that grain?can we also trademark it with different spellings like baasmati , basmatti

Basmati rice as traditionally known was the strain that grew in modern Pakistan.

Thus Indian rice is not actually basmati.

However the trademark "Basmati" is owned by india. thereby allowing them to sell non basmati rice legally with the name basmati.
Post reported for abusive language. I had a great comeback for you, but unfortunately it would’ve earned me a ban. Consider yourself lucky.

Give me proof it’s the Pakistani strain that’s called Basmati. Don’t reply with more obtuse comments.
Unless all of Punjab is a Pakistani State, I don’t think so.

If claiming Basmati is a sense of national pride for morons like you- ok keep going.

Not possible.
They won the trademark war fair and square.
Our government was sleeping while they got the rights to use that name and NO we cannot change spellings and do that game.

Son,
You are just too young to debate here.
Ask someone old enough, 80+, where Basmati was grown, and how it was matured.
feel free to come back after that anytime.

Ok but why different spellimgs is not possible, do trademark laws prevent that.
I will read more history of this strain. Thats v interesting. So india stole or they also had acquired the method or technique to grow that strain we were growing initially and then they quickly won the trademark too?

Why our gov is always slow and why india is always mile aheads when it comes to stealing whther its our ivc history or music or film stories or basmati name

This is the WTO we are talking about, playing the spelling game will not work.

Basmati was a strain of rice grown in eastern Pakistan in a few districts only.
till date that is the only true real basmati.

Great, more housewives tales to settle debates.
Only 80 year old men would know how this crop that has been eaten since before their times matured and developed.
Look it up, and give us some real evidence instead of yapping.
If you do however want to go by tales-even then it’s not Pakistani. Even the name itself comes from Sanskrit languages. Too bad for you. One less thing to feel good about.

So in essence basmati is a bengali strain? Iam sure bengalis will have their lungis all flying in air in excitement to claim this grain just like yesterday they were claiming ivc as their own. But thanks for help
 
. . . .
Name basmati itself is derived from sanskrit word and now pakistanis claim it as theirs. :lol:
