Rumours suggest that Khichdi – India’s most popular and easy-to-make dish is all set to be named as India’s National Dish or Brand India food. This decision was welcomed by one and all as Khichdi has been part of our staple diet since decades. Modern working women who hardly get any time to cook have often termed Khichdi as a life savior as it gets ready in minutes, at times faster than 2-minute maggi noddles. However, as India has turned in to a nation of offended, there have been many who have been left with a bad taste in the mouth, post this decision. Those protesting Khichdi’s elevation as Brand India food are none other than Khichdi’s complementary partners – Ghee, Dahi and Aachar! Ghee, Dahi and Aachar have all expressed their angst in unison and have also appealed to Mr. Modi to reconsider this decision. In fact, Ghee and Dahi were quoted as saying, ‘Khichdi in itself is a bland dish. Without us, Khichdi is as incomplete as Kejriwal without Muffler and Modi Bhai without Amit Shah! If Khichdi gets this title, tomorrow even Gutkha will be declared as ‘National TimePass Food.’ ‘This ends here!’ An agitated Aachar too expressed his views on National television, ‘Has anyone ever enjoyed Khichdi without me? This is injustice to us minority just because we are not consumed in a larger quantity.’ It is to be seen if the decision is revoked after unanimous agitation by Khichdi’s friends. We would love to hear your views on this important issue. And, also let us know if Khichdi should be GST free.
