We Need Drinking Water and Not Coke & Pepsi in Rural India

In general when a person in thirsty, he used to have a glass of water. But now a days things made different by that situation he would like buy a soft drink. In olden days when a person visits to our home, we used to give a glass of water to that person. Nowadays it becomes passion while giving a glass of soft drinks like maza, cook, People do not think the problem behind that companies would prepare those drinks with harmful chemicals. While having those drinks their would be chance of stomach diseases. So the Govt Should restrict these companies and make awareness among the people about those soft drinks and educate them about the importance of our traditional homemade drinks like coconut water, lemon water, butter milk. Etc.

Hello friends.

Water is very important part of our life. Generally in rural area we found problem to get fresh water but in urban areas we do not face these type of problems than why we prefer to coke/Pepsi instead of water for thirst. When any relative person come in our home I provide Pepsi/coke instead of water, lassie, lemon water etc..

So I want to say that when we feel thirsty then we prefer to take fresh water instead of coke or Pepsi.

Ancient days our grand fathers drinking the water only. They drink pure water. So they have good health. But now a days the water is polluted by the people. This water very important in our daily life this water purify the wastes in our body, the coke and soft drinks do this work? no they give harmful to the body, so why we give the so much important than water so don't waste money buying this soft drinks. There is no important to improve this soft drink companies because there is no use at all. So the gov planes how to save the water, they give suggestion to the people, and build the companies for purify the water.

Why should we let corporates control our basic needs? They occupy a place, plunder our natural resource, the water and drill it and sell to our own people as coke, Pepsi, maaza, sprite etc. Our basic necessity is not fulfilled, but who wants all these bottled drinks? When a middle class man can't buy water for cheap, and he is forced to buy a drink, he has to buy these drinks. Before some years, there was plain soda available for some 3 rs or so. Now we are forced to buy soda for 18 rs or so.

All available from these corporate companies. If there is a plan to give pure filtered water to all common man, properly in the common roads, that is, all time pure, filtered water in a glass is available from upper, middle to lower middle class and common man for free. Then is our country democratic country. By then, nobody will go for these bottled rubbishes. 10 to 15 years before, mud pots served water to all on the main roads. Now it is gone. People's minds are drained of love.

India has so many billionaires. Can't one person provide it on their responsible area. ? One water tank linked with triple filtering gadget. A steel glass dropping off from a chain. Whoever wants can come and drink pure filtered water. Then these bottled demons will reduce, humans will fulfill one of their basic necessity.

By looking at this topic first thing that come to my mind is that government promises a lot that we will bring technology advancements, new infrastructure, computers etc. To rural India. But just ask the rural people they simply don't want these things, they just want drinking water. People in rural part of India travel miles to get drinking water, and in most of the villages a tanker comes and people fight for their turn to get water as they are actually fighting for life. This situation is quite critical. So government first provide them the basic needs of life instead of keep promising them on the other things which is expressed in the topic as Pepsi, cola.

I would like to say that water is more important for human beings. Soft drinks is not important why because soft drinks are harmful for health. By drinking soft drinks at present it will very nice to drink. But in future it will harmful for health. So that I would like to give first preference to water rather than soft drinks.

To live our life water is one of the most common thing. Without food we can live for some days but without water imagine at least a day, it is not possible. So that drinking water is more necessary than pepsi and coke to live our life. Imagine a world without water.

Commercial drinks are rubbish. Of course these companies are spending a fortune advertising this water with sugar and chemicals. It's dirt cheap to make and not good for your health. Drink natural water - add some mango extract or lemon. Infinitely better and healthier. Don't pander to American domination in thinking it's cool and with it to drink this absolute crap!

Hello guys,

I agree with all above views of my friends, according to my view that water is most important to survive. People live without coke & Pepsi, but not live without water.

In urban areas like big big company, waste lots of waters, to used personal needs. But it affect rural areas people, they fight a drop of fresh water.

The topic raises a concern on the lack of availability of basic life resources in rural areas of India. As per the recent report by Rangarajan, around 29.5% of the Indian population lives below the poverty line, and the majority of that belongs to the rural areas. I think it's imperative that the basic necessities like water are sufficiently available for people in rural areas, if the govt is unable to provide basic necessities, how can we think of raising the standards of rural india, I mean that is the least that can and should be done.

Undoubtedly it is true that we need drinking water and not Coke, Pepsi kind of things not only to rural India but entire country. Apart from mere drinking water it should be safe as well.

Water is the most essential natural resource fulfilling all our needs from drinking, cooking, washing, etc. Availability of sufficient water is not only limited to all the things listed above, hydroelectricity is one of the major sources of electricity in our country. We can provide electricity to many rural houses if there is sufficient amount of water.

Coming back to the point, indeed Drinking water is far more important than Coke Pepsi. Coke Pepsi or any kind of soft drink is merely a drink one enjoys to party with or temporary relief from the scotching heat, even then one feels allay only after taking water. We can live without these soft drinks, but not a day without drinking water.
