#1. Honey – Honey with Infective Levels of
During the year 2010, India’s highest circulated newspapers The Hindu published a story claiming that the branded honey which is sold in India is infected. Following the story of The Hindu, Centre for Science and Environment examined the samples of 12 major leading companies which included Himalaya, Dabur, Patanjali, Baidyanath, Khadi and two foreign companies which were grounded in Australia and Switzerland.
Lab reports of these sample tests conducted by, Centre for Science and Environment disclosed some astonishing facts claiming the presence of harmful antibiotics at non-permissible levels. The foreign nations which are strictly against such moves of the companies either ban the products ones they are ascertained with the high levels of antibiotics or either they monitor the usage of antibiotics in honey.
Hence, one could make it out that most of the domestic companies are selling and exporting dependable quality of honey in abroad and are selling infectious harmful honey in the local Indian markets, following the double standard which shouldn’t be appreciated. The Indian government and other authorities should come with better laws to curb such moves of the retailers. In a media interaction, Centre for Science and Environment director, Sunita Narain said, “It is clear that foreign companies are taking advantage of the lack of regulations in India. After all, if our government does not care about the health of its people, why should these companies care?”

India’s best and highest number of selling cars such as Maruti Suzuki’s Alto 800, Tata’s Nano and Hyundai’s i10 are banned and prohibited in most of the foreign nations. What makes these cars get prohibited abroad is that their ineffective results obtained after conducting a test of the crash on these cars.
Added to this, these cars lack enough security features such as airbags in them which would certainly put the passengers and driver in the car to high risk of life threat during the accidents. So, people we can conclude that all these cars are sold to us in India with a lot of inadequate services and features putting out lives in grave danger.
