I have
good and great news to announce here. This is that no other than Tea is going
to be declared as India’s national drink. It is also worthy to celebrate the
life of a pioneering tea-planter who had hanged by the British colonial rulers
for taking part in the rebellion of 1857.
The
above decision was made by the Planning Commission deputy chairman Montek Singh
Ahluwalia while on his trip to Assam, the tea-producing northeastern state that
borders on Bhutan and Bangladesh.
With
this, the drink would be accorded the national drink status of India by Apr 17
, 2013 so as to coincide with the 212thbirth anniversary of first
Assamese tea planter and Sepoy Mutiny leader Maniram Dewan.
Ahluwalia
also described that tea should be celebrated. As half of its industry labour
comprises of women and is the largest employer in the organized sector.
As
such, we can safely say that tea has made a greater contribution not only to
India per se, but the whole world. Don’t forget its long historical and medical
benefits it has offered to human beings. Hence, we should be grateful to it by
observing this drinking art and culture in our societies.
So,
please spread this piece of good news to other tea lovers so that they also
have good reason to celebrate this festival.
Stay
tune and we shall bring more exciting news to you in our forthcoming articles.
