Onion....a mere vegetable which said to be add test and flavor in main cooked vegetable....its just a supportive and secondary vegetable not primary one....too religious people avoid it and common Indian community also not eat it in particular pure and holy months....and during big and Holy festivals,,......means it just a secondary act.... not main...But if we go back in near past..just a decade back..there was a government in Delhi...which is doing very fine with a lot of vision and thought....suddenly price of onion started hiking...and resulted in defeat of Government ...since than it has been an decade the Government has not yet been back in power...( Now its seems tit-tat...Payaj ne hi gaddi chhinwae thi aur ab payaj hi Gadi dilwayega..).....that's the impact and influence of onion on Indian politics....(few more government has been changed that time....and those who has elections later are lucky fellow...)..........If we analyzed a bit Indian society structure..we will notice its always the secondary things which catches attention and become important for the nation not primary ones......with out food so many people are dyeing every year..but without watching movies I don't think any one will die...(even today more than 25% of Indian population has not seen T.V) but cinema and TV is a major portion of news not food , water or shelter....Social workers are subject of knowledge for educated ones...cine stars and cricketers are celebrities celebrated all across..even worshiped.....though to certain extant its fare since they give...joy (though for a few moment)..on the face of a hungry stomach.......same way rice and wheat are main ingredients of food need for survival...potato, beans , cauliflower, ladies figure..etc are main course veggy..Onion is just supporter...if Rice is Rs. 30 /kg (from Rs. 10) no one cares but onion always change the government.....( on personal node...inflation has been the common phenomenon of congress Government then why news channels and people reacting I don't know.....Party name itself suggest its features as well s nature... " Since Con is opposite of Pro, it simply tells Congress is opposite of Progress" progress of a common man.....)
P.S - I must suggest all Indian politicians to have their own big onion farms..because their political career depends more than other things on only one thing that is onion.......
I liked your PS of politicians having a onion farm of themselves. Good thought ;)
ReplyDeleteEven better was your meaning of Congress.. Opposite of Progress. Simply brilliant!
And regarding onions, yeah I remember it being an epicenter of political earthquake that came a few years ago. I never imagined it will return, but it has and that too suddenly.
Suddenly Congress seems to be in the middle of truckloads of controversies and problems. I am really interested to see what happens to the govt.
And you are bang on target with your point of secondary things being given more importance than primary ones. I also never hear about prices of wheat and rice. But TV to a modern household is as important as food itself (like Internet and computer is for me).
And well some criticism too. I will keep reminding you about lack of proof reading your writeups before posting and also you use too many dots (....) I also used to do the same, when I used to reply to others, but now have shunned that practice
