Framing rules and regulations alone is not enough to ensure the interests of the consumers unless these are regularly followed up to ensure their meticulous compliance. Probably FSSAI rarely do it and majority of the manufacturers simply paste labels carrying FSSAI's name on their products without complying with the stipulations. more

When God himself has no objection, why is Chandubhai Naidu creating a big furore. Could it not be possible that he got some Laddu's made and gave the same to FSSAI to test and frame the previous regime? Instead of witch hunting should he not concentrate on development of the State now that he got the chance...but No....he would use his power for vindictive witch hunt. May be his days are numbered. more

While the subject of discussion is use of silver foils with Indian sweets, the topic of discussion in the above post is in respect of Tirupati Laddu. It appears to be politically motivated. Controversy about Tirupati Laddu is already subject of investigation, it would be better to wait for the result more

The issue under discussion is a negative event and I can only criticize. I have appreciated Indians where it is due. I also realise every society has its positives and negatives. Some small countries in the world may have questionable behaviors. But India is a progressive country, one of the foremost in the world and we should have less vices. What I said is true and I stand by my statement and it is so widespread that it affect lot of people in our country. I am concerned with our society. I do not care about behavior of other countrymen when it does not concern me. more

Sir, we underestimate ourselves - the Indians too much and don't leave any chance to show the Indians in poor light but its more of human being and its nature, which is rampant all over the world not with Indians only. I do witness such behaviours outside India as well as fortunately I travel frequently and stay outside Bharat for much longer periods. How nice it could be if we can harp more on the positives within us rather than focussing on the negatives, which are plenty? more

Hindus are not alone who are greedy but it is humen weakness, present in all other religions. However, among the Hindus there are many sadus and sants who are far away from materialist greed, more than in other religion. more
