RASGULLA MANUFACTURING AND CANNING

[EIRI/EDPR/1372] J.C.144

INTRODUCTION

Dairy industry is of crucial importance to India. The country is the world’s largest milk producer, accounting for more than 13% of world total milk production. It is the world largest consumer of dairy products, consuming almost 100% of its own milk production. Dairy products are a major source of cheap and nutritious food to millions of people in India and the only acceptable source of animal protein for large vegetarian segment of Indian population, particularly among the landless, small and marginal farmers and women.

India's high-value, high-volume market for traditional dairy products and delicacies is all set to boom further under the technology of mass production. This market is the largest in value after liquid milk and is estimated at US$ 3 billion in India and US$ 1 billion overseas.

More and more dairy plants in the public, cooperative and private sectors in India are going in for the manufacture of traditional milk products. This trend will undoubtedly give a further stimulus to the milk consumption in the country and ensure a better price to primary milk producers. Simultaneously, it will also help to productively utilize India's growing milk surplus.

The dairy industry plays an important role in the socio-economic development of India. The dairy industry in India is instrumental in providing cheap nutritional food to the vast population of India and also generates huge employment opportunities for people in rural places. 

That the Left Front government of West Bengal has decided to set up a rasgulla manufacturing plant to rescue the state from its by now notorious industrial decline, proves that the communists long known for their partiality for the commanding heights of iron and steel are now acquiring a sweeter touch.

Of course the bhadralok leftists of the CPI(M) have always been true Bangalees at heart, for whom mishti must necessarily be the cornerstone of all materialism, however dialectical. Shaw Wallace has packed its bags and fled Kolkata, so has ICI and Philips India.

The much hyped Haldia Petrochemicals, a project worth Rs 50 billion, is floundering in bureaucratic delays, but what does it matter when the great industrial leap forward can still be achieved on the shoulders of curd and jalebi? The West Bengal government has revealed that the Rs 10-crore rasgulla factory will be set up in Nadia district and there are further plans to diversify into sandesh and ice-cream.

Important lessons here perhaps for communist parties worldwide. Stop wasting time manning the barricades, comrades. Strive, instead, to transform the delicatessens. Take over the cake shops and the ice cream carts and harness them into the revolutionary struggle to attain a diabetic utopia. The rasgulla economy will provide sweet revenge on those who constantly bicker about the strikes and closures that have become the hallmark of West Bengals industry. The loss of jobs, the devastating decline of career opportunities have in any case always just been sweet-nothings as far as the CPI(M) is concerned. Now rasgulla and pantua will bring in those eager investors, anxious to bite off a piece of an empire, where Jalajog and Bheem Nag, monarchs of sandesh and doi, still rule supreme. On the debris of Bengali business, Buddhadeb's rasgulla factory is a new amusement park of communist confection.

But do the red babus realise that the rasgulla is a metaphor of the globalised economy? It's origins, after all, have been traced to the French occupation of parts of Bengal in the 17th century. It was at this time, that the French provided Bengal with chchana, which was to become the essential ingredient of all Bengali sweets. Thus, mishti is just as westernised as the ideology. No wonder that Bengali communists have such a sweet tooth.
