I'm happy to note that our humble Indian KichidI  would get the national status. Hopefully it would become a staple diet all over India in general and particularly in schools where mid -meals are being served to children.Though Kichidi being the poor man’s food, soon it entered rich people’s homes and even hotels, where probably it may get a fancy name for a fancy price. Incidentally I also happened to read that our PM is very fond of this item. But I'm sure it can’t be the reason for it to get a national status and I would pray that it shouldn’t turn into another sparring between ruling and opposition. I appeal to all political parties, not give political colour to this.
