Lotus has a root/stem that is quite a bit more useful than the flower itself. At least for a lot of people who use it as a food, throughout India and the world. In fact in some cuisines like in Kashmir, this part of lotus is considered a delicacy that has a star role. It is a 'must serve' in all banquets , feasts and on high occasions. In fact often during marriage season its demand far exceeds supply and the rates hit the roof. Thankfully there is a lot of it there and so the day is usually saved at some cost.
Imagine a day when lotus roots start disappearing or rotting away for some reason. How long can the flower continue ? How much of a use will the lotus be for the people ?
There is a lesson in all this for everyone. If you move away from your roots , no matter how beautiful you are , you'll shrink.
Is BJP listening to what people are telling them again and again. I heard a very weird explanation for their poor showing in Maharashtra. Apart from blaming every other party they called the electronic voting machines used in the election' crooked electronic cheating machines'. Their partner in defeat virtually called voters of Maharashtra names for not choosing them.
The voter's message of strictly limited use of a lotus without roots is sadly lost on them.
