Kudos to silent warriors!

Hey all,

Last time the blog was about the warriors who fought for the those who could not fight for themselves or those who did not realise that they need to fight. That fight was against the cancer of corruption, politics, rage, etc which was eating INDIA from all sides. Today some silent warriors are building a sheild against the rich treasures of INDIA, left by our ancestors as a gift for us to preserve, utilize in the proper way and be proud of.No, No don't think hmm, treasure gold, money etc. I am talking about the rich cultures, huge bundles of ancient knowledge which today are being sneaked out and made profit out of by many other countries. THEY ARE PATENTING OUR IDEAS,INVENTIONS AND RESOURCES!!! Its not fair. We all know somewhere that this is being done, and we use those products with a flair of aha an international product must be good,hmm?? How many of you know neem, turmeric etc which are INDIA's indigneous products are been exploted to make profit outside in the world. Thank God that we still have people who care about this explotation and want to take a strong step against it. Some doctors of New Delhi are planning to roll out an encyclopedia of the country's traditional medicine in five languages - English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish - in an effort to stop people from claiming them as their own and patenting them

So all this to say that I found this article on BBC, I thought it was worth sharing with u all. The doctors are really trying hard to save our ancstral wealth from being exploited, so lets kudos to them. Its very important that their effort be recognised and be followed in any small way by us possible. Like for instance we can start realizing products we use today,where they are manufactured in the world and trace down its roots, if its from INDIA, spread that word around as much as possible and claim our name on it and that maybe the start.
