Friends, Green Revolution is being called as a revolution. Is it so? Is Green Revolution a revolution? What is meant by revolution ? Revolution means creation. Non-violent creation! Revolution does not mean destruction. It means creation. The aim of revolution is to make saints not evils. Green Revolution is the transformation process of violence. It is not a creation process. It means destruction of millions of micro-organisms by means of poisonous chemical fertilizers & insecticides, destruction of birds, soil, water, environment & human health also. The increasing human diseases like Cancer, Aids, Diabetics, and Heart attacks are the outcomes of the Green Revolution. The destruction of the human being! The fertile land which was producing hundred tones of Sugarcane per acre or forty quintals of Wheat per acre had become so barren that even grass can not be grown on this land. And this happens to thousands of acre land in India. The production had declined to ten tones of Sugarcane and five quintals of Wheat.

What about human health? Was there Aids, Cancer, Diabetics and Heart attacks before fifty years? No! And even if it was there, it was in much less number. Today these diseases are increasing so vigorously that we are at the bank of the destruction of whole living being. What are the reasons for it? This dangerous, poisonous and destructive Green Revolution! The output of the Green Revolution is only destruction - the destruction of soil, water, environment and human health. And if it is so, then this Green Revolution is not a revolution. How it can be called as revolution?  It is not a revolution. It is a worldwide scandal to exploit the farmers and rural economy.

How this Green Revolution is created?
