The book ?Development Misplaced? is an important record of behind
the scene pressures on India's farmers brought on by a small group
of multinational companies MNCs]. Their manipulations are unknown
to farmers and consumers. These companies control global markets in
seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, food grains, and common foods.
Their sole aim is to take complete control over global agriculture,
food production and distribution. To add to India's woes, our
political leaders, planners and scientists have become a pawn in
the hands of these MNCs. The book exposes Indian establishment's
compulsive and habitual lying. The foreword written by Dr. GVG
Krishnamurty, former Election Commissioner of India, precisely
summarizes different sections in the book. Readers should note that
a person can live without food for about seven days before the
body's vital organs and systems start collapsing but it takes a
full season-from seventy to 120 days- to grow food crops. An
important contribution of the author is that he has devoted an
entire section on Genetically Engineered seeds. GE seeds are almost
entirely controlled by about seven multinational corporations. The
food crops that are produced from these seeds have proven to be
poisonous in every independent study carried out in Russia, UK,
France, and the USA. Every study has shown that these foods cause
cancers, vital organ failures and sterility. Cattle grazing on
Genetically Engineered cotton fields have died within days and the
deaths occurred from stable toxins in the blood. This Government in
league with MNCs, led by world's largest seed company Monsanto,
wants to feed this nation poison. It is a huge issue, an issue of
our survival as a healthy nation. Along with destruction of human
health, these MNCs are destroying soil health, environmental health
and animal health. The author has done well to expose the behind
the scene pressures of these MNCs to change the regulatory
framework, create monopolistic control over seed supply, force
farmers to leave farming and dismantle India's thousands of years
of food and nutrition security. India's food and nutritional
security, built over thousands of years of painstaking effort by
farmers, is being completely undermined by a group that is
determined to starve India, force a proud nation on its knees, and
once again enslave this nation. In essence, the book is about that
process of enslavement.
