00:05In some of the poorest parts of the country,
00:12still if you get good delicious food to eat, they will say it is very meat.
00:20Now it could be a salty dish. It could be a dish involving not even a grain of sugar.
00:28Still to praise it, it would be said that it is very sweet.
00:36Do you see the reason? India has seen poverty and deprivation for very long.
00:46There was no sugar. Sugar was so scarce that sugar itself became the symbol of some kind
00:57of prosperity or abundance or goodness.
01:02I fully understand that with empty stomach, you cannot proceed towards higher causes.
01:08Money is needed. You need clothes. You need food.
01:12But many of us have surpassed those conditions by long.
01:21And yet we behave as if we are still living in the 1950s.
01:28Even today, parents scold their kids and say,
01:32nobody is going to die of hunger. Please, that's not happening anymore.
01:36But that thing is still there.
01:38I appreciate it.
01:39See you soon.
