Food, Water, and Shelter are the very basic needs of human life, Food plays a major role to live because if there is no food there is no civilization after water food is necessary for humans and living things. Food plays a major role in human evaluation, some millions of years before humans lived in trees only because afraid of jungle animals and other reptiles. The purpose of climbing down the tree is to food and water that’s how human life evolves. And we came down and found rocks for hunting animals, found fire for heating the meats, and we organized and civilized the human race. So the main reason we got civilization is food that’s why humans always give the first priority to food.
Living in India means we have a lot of choices in foods compared to other countries, In India, each state has its own food and history followed by thousands of years and merged with cultural and religious matters also. On the global side India only country with rich foods and a background of very rich cultural aspects and religious politics.
