— Welcome to Fit India, Fat India!

Sagar Watch News

Sagar Watch News
/ In a country that once taught the world how to eat healthy — from millets to ghee to seasonal fruits — we have now proudly reached a point where Kurkure is more easily available than apples, and cola reaches villages faster than clean drinking water. 

S. Mahendra Dev, Chairman of the Economic Advisory Council to the PM, recently pointed this out with the innocence of a man who still believes common sense exists: “Industry should push healthy options.”

How sweet.
How naïve.
Almost… childish.

Because in today’s India, if a child walks into a shop and asks for a banana, the shopkeeper looks at him like he’s requesting Bitcoin. But ask for a packet of chips? Brilliant! You’ll get ten flavours, three sizes, and one free sticker. Even the chips have more variety than our school syllabi.

Look at our school canteens. Instead of fruits, they offer fried triangles, sweetened drinks, and mystery-coloured puffs that can glow in the dark if exposed to Wi-Fi. No one knows if they’re made of corn, plastic, or recycled birthday balloons — but hey, at least they’re “masala flavoured.”

Meanwhile, companies selling these snacks enjoy a level of freedom that citizens can only dream of.
No proper chemical checks.

But of course, a fruit seller must fear municipal raids more than multinational corporations fear cancer reports.

Compare this to Japan, where vending machines sell bananas, and supermarkets have entire sections dedicated to fresh, cheap produce. Europe practically bribes its citizens to buy healthy food — subsidies, regulations, and clear labeling. In Canada, a child drinking soda daily will earn that look from parents that Indian parents reserve for scoring 50%.

But here?
In India, you can find chips in temples, cola in school bags, and instant noodles in government offices. In moments of emergencies, forget ambulances — 

chips and cold drinks reach first.

And then we wonder why India is becoming the world’s obesity capital, diabetes capital, and BP headquarters. What else do we expect when children eat more preservatives than actual vegetables? Even adults now have blood groups like B+ (Biscuit Positive) and Coca-Cola Compatible.

So yes, Mahendra Dev’s statement matters. Because someone finally said out loud what every belly in India knows: we are slowly killing ourselves, one snack packet at a time.

It’s time the food industry stops selling “happiness” in a packet and starts offering health on the shelf. And maybe — just maybe — fruit should not be more expensive, harder to find, and less fashionable than junk food.

Until then, welcome to Incredible India:
 Where Kurkure has better distribution than bananas, and diabetes has better marketing than discipline.

Sagar Watch News/
 Addressing the concluding ceremony of the religious gathering at Balaji Temple on Tuesday, Pt. Indresh Upadhyay said that “Sagar is not just a district, it is a holy dham. Our saints have described it as a mini Vrindavan where Thakurji resides in several divine forms.”

His devotional bhajans lifted the atmosphere, drawing enthusiastic responses from the audience. A large community feast was organised, where long queues of devotees gathered to receive prasadi.

Delivering the final day’s discourse from 11 am, Pt. Upadhyay explained the significance of Bihar Panchami, recalling how Haridas Ji Maharaj revealed Banke Bihari in Vrindavan on this auspicious day, which is also celebrated as Vivah Panchami, marking the divine wedding of Sita and Ram.

Continuing the Bhagwat narrative, he described how King Kansa summoned Lord Krishna to Mathura under the pretext of honouring him, after hearing about Krishna’s heroic acts—purifying the Yamuna, subduing Kaliya Naag, defeating several demons and protecting Vrindavan by lifting Govardhan. Upon learning this, the people of Braj pleaded with Krishna not to leave for Mathura.

Krishna’s Arrival in Mathura and Kansa’s Defeat

Pt. Upadhyay narrated that although Krishna initially hesitated out of love for the Brajwasis, Narad Ji appeared in his dream, reminding him of the divine tasks ahead—Kansa’s defeat, 16,000 marriages, and other destined leelas including the Mahabharata. 

Krishna eventually travelled to Mathura, where he overcame the royal elephant, defeated the wrestlers and finally killed Kansa, restoring the throne to his grandfather and freeing Devaki-Vasudev from captivity.

To avoid emotional turmoil from separation, Krishna then began his education in Madhya Pradesh, where his first meeting with Sudama took place.

Message on the Importance of Satsang

Emphasising the spiritual lesson, Pt. Upadhyay said that satsang is essential for living a meaningful life. He narrated how the Yadavas ignored Krishna’s repeated advice to remain in satsang, assuming their familial ties with him would protect them. 

Their arrogance led to the tragic episode where a cursed iron fragment ultimately caused the destruction of the Yadava clan.
Sagar Watch News

He further described Balarama’s departure to the Ksheer Sagar and Krishna’s return to his divine abode. The session concluded with stories of Arjun’s Gandiva and King Parikshit, followed by the final aarti.

The gathering ended with blessings and spiritual fervour, marking a graceful conclusion to the multi-day discourse.
