India, homeland of the sacred cow has become the world's leading
beef exporter. International community is shocked that a nation in
which cow slaughter is officially prohibited and is an utter
anathema to the majority of the population, will overtake three
icons of cattle ranching (Australia, Brazil and US) and become the
world's leading beef exporter. Present Indian government came to
power 10 years ago. After assuming office, their first move was to
modernize existing slaughterhouses and grant licenses for
establishing new slaughterhouses. A lucrative subsidy ranging from
50-90% was offered to lure entrepreneurs in this area. Contacts
were established with slaughterhouse machinery suppliers in Europe
and China. The whole government machinery was mobilized to usher in
a new era of increased meat consumption and export. It was a
significant policy shift in last several centuries. Even the
British in their 200 years of rule could not accomplish what the
present Indian government has accomplished in just 10 years. This
team has fulfilled the dream of India's founders who can finally
rest in peace now. It was their cherished desire to see Indians
eat, drink and have sex like Westerners. These founders must be
reveling in their graves, having fulfilled their long pending
dreams. After independence, it took Indian leaders 65 long years to
accomplish this 'feat'. But this accomplishment has come with a big
price tag. Soil of India, deprived of farmyard manure, is in
revolt. Scorched with chemicals, topsoil is getting destroyed and
land is turning into a desert. Indian agriculture is a fragile
system which has withstood the test of time. India supports
approximately 16% of the world's human population and 20% of the
world's livestock population on merely 2.5% of the world's
geographical area. Meddling in this sensitive area is having
disastrous impact on the nation's food security. Consequently,
there is a genocide in progress in India. The food supply of 1.2
billion people is being systematically destroyed. Gradual handing
over of food sector to unscrupulous corporations is a bold step in
that direction. Soil is the Earth's fragile skin that anchors all
life. Soil is the most important national asset and its
conservation deserves the highest national priority. Any
civilization is founded on topsoil and soil erosion destroys it.
Policy makers are blissfully unaware of this fact and national
policies are being made in boardrooms as parliament takes a
backseat.
