Q- All these measures sound very good but will they solve the problem of a large number of our people not getting enough food at cheap rates?
A- NO
Q- Why?
A- Because you're not treating the problem, you're treating merely a symptom of the problem.
Q- How can we treat the problem?
A- By improving the Public Distribution System (PDS), building more storehouses to prevent of grain. We produce enough food for our people. We are unable to supply it to them. That's where we need to improve. The supply chain.
India is a complex nation, we have people who work for common cause and there are people who are self-centered, who belive that they need not care for the people who can not fight for themselves. Curroption is not some thing that was born with us it was imbibed on us due to that fact that our fathers and forefathers did not elect the correct governing body. But the treand is changing, more percentage of votes being cast in the state elections shows the educated young are becoming aware of active politics and how we can agument the governing body to rule us well.
Buracrats come with good idea, politicians make them law if they find that it ensures their next tenure in office else how good the policy might be it ends up in the garbage. This treand is changing and laws such as the "One Dish" will be welcomed, if you feel that one dish will not be good enough, the GoI will consider before implementing this law and make sure a 3 or 4 dish law is implemented.
Do you know why there is a lot of up-raising in the name of Maoits in the nothern states of Inida, the reason is that the difference between Haves and Have nots is huge and there is very little middle class that bridges the gap between haves and have nots.
We are the haves and we can not waste any of the resources.
In Germany, if you buy a lot of food and waste it, the owner will call a person called as the Socity Welfare Officer and he will levie a fine of 50 euros for wasting food. why? Money might be yours, but resources(food) are not yours. They belong to the socity and you are not entitled to waste some thing that does not really belong to you, how much money you pay for it.
