Dear Sir, I have certain reservations of your comments regarding the ban of colas in Kerala. The ban is not to frighten the foreign investors but to fulfill the will of the local people who voted the Left govt.to power in the last elections. Why the MNCs are showing double standards? While they give high quality drinks in Europe and US they forced us to take pesticides. They know very well that, in the name of foreign investment people like the author will support whatever they does. Let me ask you one simple question. Can you prove scientifically that colas kill our thirst? No friend not at all. It is always good to take coconut water,lassi,chaach,fruit juices,ganna ras and other natural drinks. Please encourage our farmers to avail all these things in the market. We have a great potential within our country. Then why are you always worried abouy foreign investment. So people like you are trying to make the point that Indians are not capable of doing things of their own. The number of people who may lose thier jobs because of cola ban is far less than the number of ordinary people who already lost jobs when cola arrived. So Kudos to V.S and team fro doing the right thing.

Well said Friend. Author is bending over to the colas for the piece of bone they would throw.
It is very callous for the other to compare water and vegetable pesticide contents to Colas. Does he mean that since we already consume some, let's eat more of it and die.
Author, Please don't write stupid baseless articles for petty money.
