Breaking Newsvia " @Amul_CoopSorry to inform that Dr. Kurien, father of White Revolution, passed away at 1.50 am. Funeral today at 4.00 pm." http://t.co/7qP5ROMD #RIP
I was shaken by the above tweet from @Amul-Coop . Why? Genuine question! Why would a middle class Malayali PSU Banker admire a scientist, who built the foundation of Dairy Industry in India, against the might of Multinationals like Nestle, and not only travel in his bush shirt and chappal, in rural Gujarat, the language of which was like french to him, where, the food had no coconut, it was only vegetarian, food, different from Syrian Christian if Errachi Kootu ( Mutton Curry) and Karimeen Varattadu ( Silver Spotted Fish Fry) or Spiced Kurobuta (Pork Cutlet), and where Dhokra was staple diet than Porotta and the Vaghari Dal was sweeter than the Pachoru his Ammachi made for the sic course meal after "Ettu Nombu" (The Eight Day Fast-Feast of Virgin Mary, held from Sept 1-8, at Mannarcaad Church, Kottayam) .
Why would I go from my Green Kozhikode (Calicut known for coir trade and a ancient port) green seaside, filled with coconut palms, and where fresh fish was found in abundance, to a hot arid place called Anand in Kaira District of Gujarat. I mean Why, would I after doing my Masters from Michigan State University, in metallurgy, go back to Jamshedpur, and work for Tata Steel, the best steel plant in Asia at Jamshedpur, which was the only municipality, controlled by a corporate firm. I mean why, Milk making had no resemblance remotely with steel making.
Why I am shaken is that Dr Verghese Kurien a man who studied Metallurgy was made of a kind of different Mettle. He quit money, comfort, and luxuries of life, from scratch developed the edifice of Amul
and went on to take on The Telia rajas of Gujarat by producing Dhara Refined Oil and Ice Cream Industry by forward integrating to make Ice-Cream giving the Tag Line Amul, the Taste of India.
For Those who are young, I mean born later than the 80's have no idea that, Dr Homi J Bhabha (Atomic Research), Dr Vikram Sarabhai ( Space Research) Ironically today is the day of Century(100TH) of Satellite launches with PSLV from ISRO, Dr M.S.Swaminathan ( Rice Research & Green Revolution) and Dr Verghese Kurien (Milkman of India)father of Dairy Industry and one who brought White Revolution, using a concept, Operation Flood, meaning flood the market with milk and milk products, so that the multinationals like Nestle, stop blackmailing mothers to pay more for milk, milk powder for their young kids)
Why I am impressed with Dr Kurien is, that my Nephew Jaishankar (Mani) was born in 70's and I was asked to bring milk powder, The shops were then lined up with Cerelac, Nest-um, Nespray, when I went to Kwality Store, Janta Store Jaipur, Late Mr Kasliwal, our Grocer gave me Amul Spray with a comment, "Babu (that's what half the Bapu Nagar knows me as my nick name) , Ye le jaa, Papa ji videshi cheezon se nafrat kartein hain, yeh desi hai" ( Babu, take this, Amul-spray, your Dad hates foreign goods, this is Local). Thus started our shift to everything Amul. What a Taste of India.
Thank you Dr. Kurien for leaving India a butter place#Amul
