Re: Road to the 2024 Elections in India-1

^^ is there a reference for grain/pulses from panjab specifically being rejected on safety grounds?

If this is the case, where does that produce go?

Do panjab farmers eat their own produce

Re: Road to the 2024 Elections in India-1

The pesticide laden wheat is a major health concern. Does the Indian consumer have any disclosure of pesticide levels and geographic provenance of the wheat they consume? I am hesitant to use produce from panjab. It is a violation of consumer rights to not release this information. In Canada some in...

There is a striking cultural parallel with another autoerotic, supremacist ideology that has led a neighbouring country into the foremost ranks of not only a failed polity but also a failed people.
