That was a nice speech(clap). We also must acknowledge the assistance of America in early sixties when the relationship between US and India was not very good. They provided a lot of assistance in agriculture. We are not ungreatfull people like some others:lol:

You are right. I have read about the Public Law 480, which I believe only a country like USA can enact. I have always believed that USA is a country which never put a price tag to help human in any catastrophy. The American wheat flowed into the country when India was banning transport of more than 5 kgs of wheat from one state to another state, such was the pathetic state of our resource then. The PL 480 help and Govt. conviction to overcome the deficit saw green revolution with the help of Agricultural scientists Dr. M.S.Swaminathan working with Dr. Norman Borlaug saved us.
