Isn’t coke better than municipal drinking water?

By Vijay Kumar

In 1977, when George Fernandes, threw out coke from India, his main grouse was that there are villages in India without drinking water but having coke. The fact remained Coke could enter areas where the government failed to enter. Now which one would you prefer in a small village or town? A glass of water from the Municipal tap contaminated with all kinds of poison and mixed with drainage water or a bottle of coke with a little pesticide content? Why nobody agitates about the poison content in the drinking water supplied to us by the civic bodies when the pesticide in coke is a big issue? – see our special story, “I am confused”.

Youth must have faith in our future. Country will create opportunities for all.
