      Oh please! India said it won't export wheat to only the rich countries that are hoarding food grains amid the global shortage and inflation, while it WILL CONTINUE to provide aid to countries that are vulnerable and actually in need.
      The new measures are only to REGULATE wheat export, since it is unfair for Indians having to pay higher than usual, despite India having sufficient harvest to sustain herself, while the countries that CAUSED the war in Europe, leading to this shortage want to BLAME INDIA for the global rise in prices.
      You like to conveniently downplay the West's role in being the root cause for the same, as China continues to haord *50%* of the GLABAL reserves of Wheat and *70%* of that of Corn.
      With the possibility of a delayed monsoon in India, it's only fair the government puts its own country's food security over the rest, having a population of 1.39 billion isn't a joke.

Because the people on top of the business want to become a millionaire/billionaire as fast as possible. Not exactly sure how businesses work financially in India (if they follow IFRS), but for the rest of the world, a corporation always finds a way for themselves to profit first and drain the life of everything around them.

    This is an AMAZING idea! I love seeing recycling initiatives that are economically viable, environmentally sustainable, and socially beneficial. The workers being fairly paid is super beneficial to the community, and I hope that India's upcoming ban on certain plastics leads to a boom in revenue. Mr. Krishna's family is making an impact and deserve all the success that comes their way!

    I hope everyone can see the difference that this man is making; not just to the environment but also to everyone he's working with - his employees. This man does not just focus on solely raising a profit for himself. He understands the process all too well and because of that, he values his employees more and always goes back to his reason why he's doing this. I hope everyone who always reacts to how expensive environmental-friendly products are, sees the reason why - you're not helping restoring the environment. You're also helping a lot of workers in return.
