India to study one-dish wedding law of Pakistan to cut food wastage

Jana, I don't know about you guys but here in India, people are very very demanding when it comes to fundamental right.

Our constitution guarantess us certain freedoms and any such law will be in clear violation of that freedom.

I won't allow anybody to dictate to me how many people should I invite in my wedding and how many dishes should I serve. That is rubbish. Utter rubbish!

...and a violation of my 2nd fundamental right as well.

You skipped answering about dowry, forcing family of bride to foot the food bill and many other such demands. how come your people are indulging in such gross human rights violations ??

Jana, Thanks for supporting the cause. People who waste resources will one day or the other will realize that they had done a terrible mistake when the need for the resources grow and you don't get it for money. Guys who say that its my right to server as many variety as you can make sure that all the dishes are consumed. How many marriage organizers call in the child help line or any Non Governmental Organization to serve the remaining food to the people who are in need of it. Guys you really want the blessings of many people on the occasion of your marriage, at least have a backup plan to server the remaining food to be served to the Orphans in your near vicinity.

D..Uh!

What is there to skip?

You're confusing crime with fundamental rights.

I don't think anybody can answer that silly a 'logic'.
 
The world is full of such well meaning people who come up with brilliant ideas that cannot be enforced or implemented.
Also, it is a bit too intrusive on private affairs of citizen.

Dowry is against law already. You cant compensate dowry with 1 dish wedding.
 
Dowry is against law already.


Implementation? ZERO.

this is a good Idea, and India should adopt it and properly implement it, Dowry cannot be controlled but this can be !
 
I am against this kind of law. Just grow more foods.. MORONS.

It doesn't work that way!

We are a food surplus nation,with largest stock grains stored yet we have most starving all over the world.
These laws may have effect if the Govt make food a basic human right.

Food could be a basic human right, yes.

FREEDOM IS ALREADY a fundamental right.

I'm free to call as many people I want to call at my wedding as I want.

I'm free to serve as many dishes I want to serve during my wedding as I want.

NO LEGISLATION can take that freedom from me and if it did, it won't survive a court of law. It'll be a breach of my fundamental right to freedom of assembly.

Govt cant stop somebody giving dowry, that is impossible to implement.
But if you are victim of dowry related crime, there are strong laws to help you.

As I said, it will create more problem than you want to solve. You will end up spending much more again if you are forced to have such 1 dish wedding.
How will somebody inspect it, what about bribes those inspectors will need.

We are already an overlegislated country. Any new legislation will just add another layer of bureaucracy and corruption.

We produce enough food. This is not even supply side issue.
This is a distribution issue.
Dont try to solve it by squeezing the demand.

It may be your right to serve as many dish as you want, will it be consumed? be rational. Showing that a Bride's or Growm's family might by servring a lot of dish is not going to do any good for the country. I have seen marriages where 30 dishes are served and you know what all endup as garbage. If you want to still be proud of serving your gest with exotic food. I recommed that you give some of the exotic food availabe and reduce the quantity so that its consumed in a correct way there in you can reduce food ending up as garbage

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.
 
Well i dont know how come you guys bring in democracy and other such things into a social issue anyway the real violation of fundamentalist human rights is when the family of bridegroom asks the bride's family foot bill for food for the hundreds of larkay wala guests, when they demand dowry, when they ask for gold objects in puja and so on.


the better would be if the law is passed and imposed by the Court itself and then it will be fully implemented.

Its a good law if fully implemented and i wish in our country too if they fully impose it with strict punishment


Absolutely right.

Democracy is the most abused word / theme in India. Under its garb so many things get scuttled.

The reason is that we all have double standards. What applies to others need not apply tome if it does not suit me.

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.
 
People are still missing the point. There is no shortage of food (except specific seasonal shortage of some crops like onions) in India.
Poor cant get food because they cant afford it.
You not wasting food or eating less food has no positive impact on poor people.
You saving money and donating it may help, surely that cant be made a law.
