More surprisingly, no one has wondered that still this narrative of “environment protection” is getting strengthened. 
​Why? Because we never tried to learn and answer in same chronology the questions:...

The origin of the term “environment protection” can be traced back in 18th century’s Industrial Revolution. The term started to walk on its feet when the “First World” found itself insecure by seeing the “Second World” exploiting the “resources” in the same manner as it exploited earlier. This feeling of insecurity further aggravated and disturbed the balance of power.

Today, some missed noticeable things in this quest of power are: firstly, both the worlds considered the products in nature as resources; secondly, they never tried to shed their exploitative nature- even today; thirdly, both started blaming each other for damaging environment which strengthened the shield (environment protection) behind which exploitation continues; fourthly, they strengthened this so much so that everyday talks happen but the rice are still not even washed to cook- because they have no water; and lastly, the “Third World” states like Bhutan are laughing on the other two.

Recently, CoViD-19 pandemic took place (still not ended) and imprinted both- bad and good- aspects of it. The bad are that it taken away livelihood of millions and more disastrous is that it took many innocent lives of not only humans but also of animals and plants. The good of it could be seen through naked eyes in the seas and the skies which are also filmed in various documentaries.

More surprisingly, no one has wondered that still this narrative of “environment protection” is getting strengthened. Why? Because we never tried to learn and answer in same chronology the questions: Are we the protector of environment? Does the environment need our protective shield? If yes, then how we will protect it? If the answer is by stopping harming to it, then the question arises- how we protected it?

So, the need of the hour is not to “protect” the environment but to stop harming to it. This can help it to protect itself from further “degradation” and can help it to recover faster. This will ultimately protect us.

Had we grown nothing without chemical fertilizers before this? Just think! Whereas the historical facts also tell us that even during the Harrapan Civilisation, we had large granaries. Our ancestors...

As per FAO, the birth of "modern" Indian fertilizer industry dates back to 1906 when first fertilizer factory opened at Ranipet, Tamil Nadu. The green revolution gave a boost to make the "infertility" fertile, making the soil completely sterile. As we " humans " noticed this when it impacted ourselves, not the soil, adversely. This led to the birth of terms like Organic and Natural, allowing them to play the dirty games like high prices, false advertising claims, etc.

Had we grown nothing without chemical fertilizers before this? Just think! Whereas the historical facts also tell us that even during the Harrapan Civilisation, we had large granaries. Our ancestors used grains for charity and they even save grains for emergency like situations. Then what happened after colonization that our production got reduced and we desperately started using these "modern" fertilizers?

Let me illustrate how we are used to making blunders while making decisions. The Sharbati Wheat variety is cultivated in 40,390 hectares (Area of India: 329 million hectares) (source- sherore.nic.in) of land mostly in one district of Madhya Pradesh. But it is available easily in various markets in most of the states and even exported to other countries. How?

Similarly, the availability of organic or natural products is in iota but are claimed to be present everywhere by many.

Three fronts need to be open to counter this escamotage.

  1. The Farmer Community: Awareness of hazards of chemical fertilizers and benefits of using the inputs produced/generated in farm itself needs to be generated. This will help them not only to save out of pocket expenditure but also to lift their overall living standards.

  2. The Business Community: By asking producers/suppliers the origin and technical aspects as mere certification by authorities is not enough. This will strengthen the going concern nature of business by building long term trust with customer satisfaction.

  3. The Consumer Community: The ultimate impact bearers can ask the business community about the origin and manufacturing process used to make their choices for better. It will help in the "Eat Right" mission vis-a-vis nation building.
