Make Rakhis of bread
After Yoga Day is coming Rakshabandhan. This Govt. is advancing from one victory to another, like the Wehrmacht from 1939 to 1941 ( Stalingrad is yet far off ).
 Since half our children are still malnourished, and no amount of Potempkin villages can conceal this fact, nor Queen Marie Antoinette give them cakes, I have a suggestion to make.
 I suggest that the Government make rakhis of bread ( surely this high tech govt. which has mastered the science of 'vikas' can find out a way to do this ), and distribute them free to the hungry Indian children.
 Till now the rakhis which sisters tied on the hands of their brothers were thrown away after a few hours or a day or so, thus serving no useful purpose. But these 'vikas' rakhis made of bread can be edible. So they will serve a double purpose---while they will display sisterly love, they will also quell the pangs of hunger to some extent. Also, there will be nothing to be trashed, it will all be in the stomach.
 May I request some of you to prepare cartoons of this and email them to me on mark_katju@yahoo.co.in. I will then post them on my fb page. If you wish your name also to be in the post let me know.
