After American medical regulators prohibited the import of Indian medicines, we get to hear that the European Union has banned alphonso mangoes from India, citing pestilence and unreliable quality. On one hand, we could look at the bright side and be happy that we may now have more mangoes for domestic consumption. On the other hand, I wonder what our own regulators are doing. When it is clear that there is a batch of medicines that has to meet some particular standard, are these people actively bribed into playing Nero fiddles, or are they too dumb and lazy to look into it? I am not a mango farmer (due apologies to Kejriwal ji and Daamaad G), but certainly there must be some mechanism to ensure that import standards of a particular country or region are met! Unless we want to scuttle our own industry and agriculture... Is anybody listening?
