By looking this topic, if we are talking about water it means basic need and coke and pepsi refer here as luxury goods. In rural India we can see that they don't have sufficient resources to get basic needs like bread, clothes and shelter. They need water not coke and pepsi.

They need to provide the basic facilities first. Coke, pepsi, cell phones these are secondary, what they first need is pure drinking water, 2 meals per day, shelter and clothes to wear. India will grow only when their people will grow. For growth it is required at least to provide basic amenities to each and every person.

1. Why is this even a question, far too obviously water is a necessity and not an option. Coke and Pepsi are NOT substitutes for water, they are just other drinks that can be taken once in a while. Drinking them like water will only degrade your health and considering the amount of caffeine and carbohydrates present in it, there is no point of getting into a habit of drinking an unhealthy drink.

2. People in rural India are already suffering from poverty, so why would they waste there money on drinking coke and Pepsi everyday and then spending more on visiting a doctor because of its after effects. A complete waste of money.

3. I would suggest drink coke and Pepsi once in a while and then use that bottle to fill water. There can be no life without water, and that's why we are looking for water on mars and not Coke/Pepsi!

Hi friends as per me, uses of water which can not be compromise with coke or Pepsi. As we know water as like as life, when we talk about rural area, there people are not that much of aware about soft drinks because they never think about Pepsi or coke in spite of water.

When we talk about water as like as life it means if we see in a rural area if a labor attack in sunstroke we cannot offer him Pepsi or coke we need to give water only. To maintain our good health and survive water must be require, where Pepsi and coke can not keep our health good even it is being too much of harmful for our health.

Hello friends! I strongly agree with this topic. As we all know, life first originated in water. Water is very important and gifted resource. We know the importance of water and how much, it is useful and precious to us. The, when we come across rural areas, people, they are not so educated or do not have much knowledge regarding importance of water.

They carry their domestic work and all other works with water, but awareness is not among the people how we can save water, why is there need to save water and most important, water is better than soft drinks. If you drink 100 glasses of water, it will make you healthy, but drinking cold drinks will have bad effects on health. We must be meticulous about our health. One more thing, Never do those things which will harm you, do that things which will never harm you.

We all know water is the universal liquid which has its uses in various fields. Being diversified it is used in almost most of the things, could it be cooking, in beverage making or car washing, the height of quality delivered by water out-stands other products.

Now speaking about it necessity in Rural area, I believe its a must. The paramount reason is Irrigation, if we look at the data most of the irrigation takes place in rural places which is of utmost importance to mankind and it needs water for good results, no coke or Pepsi could be used for this process. We also need to be careful in usage of water, because rural places go scarce of water or sometimes Drought is faced which leads to complete mayhem and deaths of people. In absence of water it can't be covered up by Pepsi or coke, they are just to satisfy our crave at times, we can't use them to day to day uses. And why should we direct our views only to Rural areas, do people live their lives with coke/Pepsi in cities/metro everyday? No, they never can.

And speaking about of needs of water, mother earth gets water from nature and it does not do any partiality to any given place. In-fact the rural people are much smarter in sufficient usage of water compared to city people. Yes in cases of drought they suffer but it can never be covered by coke, and this applies to people in city too.

I would conclude we all need water for surviving, no human can survive with just coke/Pepsi.

Hello everyone,

I am here to express my feelings in the increasing water demand. According to me water is a necessity thing. Without water Life is a question mark. I have seen a video which disturbed me.

In that video a person bought a litre of water for 20Rs. And some days later same water bottle for 50Rs. Again some days later it was cost about 100rs and goes. Atlast the customer gave all his money, gold, credit cards, property documents and every valuable things and request for a "CUP OF WATER". But there was no water remaining.

So what I am going to say is save water save life and don't compare water with coke and Pepsi.

We have to plant trees and store the rainwater in ground hence increase the freshwater ground level.

Thank you.

Hai friends. I am here to explain about the demand for water. Water is very essential for our day to day life. Without water we can't able to live. It cures our thrust. Coke and pepsi are also cures our thrust. But it is dangerous to our health. Water is not replaced by any other beverages. Other drinks like pepsi/coke are spoil our digestive system and also our bones. But nowadays we are in scare of water. So plant many trees. Save earth.

Hi friends,

1. While comparing water with coke/pepsi, first thing came in my mind why to compare with coke/pepsi only why not with other soft drinks? is it just because pepsi/coke are the leading brand over the world.

2. We can't start comparing water which is a essential need of a human being and they are on earth from the time of its origin because without water there is no life but without soft drink there always be life as it was earlier.

3. What water will gives us coke/pepsi will never.

4. We can't drink coke/pepsi every time after eating food but we must need to drink water to digest our food.

So these are the importance of water which can't be ignored and hence you all will think the same. Thank you so much.

Dear friends as we all know that water is one of the basic need for living being. Thus this is the serious issue on water. In rural area people travel long distances for drinking water. Many people in rural ares lost their life by drinking impure water. In rural areas most of the people are illiterate. Firstly they must be aware of diseases caused by drinking impure water.

Govt must arrange welfare camps and give knowledge to the people of the rural area. Impure water causes many diseases which ultimately harms the human being. In rural areas there must be some water treatment plant. Govt should take some steps and think of the methods how to provide drinking water to the rural areas.

I have only one question to Indian Government, when soft drinks can reach those places why not water which is the essence of life. We all have encountered so many times that the JAL BOARD trucks all the time washing streets and not serving the water. Government says people waste water, by the time that van reaches the public, have of the water is already wasted, who is responsible for it? There is no need to compare water and soft drinks, water is the need and soft drink a demand. Government should focus first on needs rather than focussing only on demands.
