We people of India are careless about what goes into our food , maybe because we have been blessed by a good soil and abundant crops which were always healthy.
Chemical fertilizers and pesticides often get into the crop and then into anyone who consumes them this is outright dangerous to the entire nation and hence needs to be handled very carefully.
It is much better to rely on organic fertilizers and pesticides.
