You sometimes wonder where the ingenuity of some people in India will stop.
Today’s Deccan Herald has 2 articles. Rotten Meat. A kingpin in Calcutta was arrested for cutting up and ‘processing’ meat of dead animals that were stacked for disposal in burial mounds. This meat was then sold throughout the city. Police suspect many important people were involved and are investigating. Can you be sure that the next plate of Beef Wellington you eat in a fancy Calcutta restaurant was not cut up from dead animals? Not All Water Is For Washing Your Bum The Railway Police in Secunderabad Andhra Pradesh, have arrested a railway contractor whose men were photographed coming out of train toilets with cans full of toilet water that was then used for making tea for sale. Perhaps the culprits are firm believers that water is water no matter where it comes from. A line of thinking that was also used by our rotten meat purveyors whose source was dead animals. Where does Indian ingenuity come from in those two cases? In the processing of meat such that buyers are not aware that this is not good stuff and also tea drinkers that sip their liquid with gusto not having the faintest idea of its composition. One can conclude perhaps that not all Indian cleverness is confined to the Silicon Valleys of California, Bangalore and Hyderabad.
