!!!!!!! THE SAD STORY BEHIND THE WORD "RATION" !!!!!!!

Do you know what is the meaning of Ration, it does not mean Groceries, it does not mean Sugar, Lentils, Flour etc.

It means,"a fixed amount of a commodity officially allowed to each person during a time of shortage".

Do you understand, what I mean to convey? In India life essential groceries were never enough for general people, these had been rationed.

What a great country! Where Lentils, Flour, Sugar, Lentils, Flour is equal to "ration".

The supply of these life essential kitchen eatables has been so much rationed, limited that the word ration had become equal to these eatables.

What a pity!
