Sunday was spent in grief over departure of the Milkman of Anand to heavely abode. Today morning I went to a nearby shop for purchasing some stuff, Amul Pro was kept in the front row and I out of curiosity shared with the shop owner that the person who brought up "Amul" is no more. He thought for a while and replied with a relaxed note that now his son will take over "Amul". I was puzzled over the response.
I didn't know what to say. He was perhaps right in his own understanding. He including everyone else have heard, one Tata Leaving and another Tata or relative nominee with a mighty share holding pitching in, One Birla Leaving and another Birla taking the reins, One Ambani leaving and other Ambani becoming Chairman.........
But here is one organization may be not as big as any of the industrial houses whom we know but still considerably big (recently crossed 10,000 crore turn over), has a representative becoming chairman who is democratically elected/nominated and represents the farmer member-owner of the organization. Here is an organization whose profits get shared back not according to the money invested by share holders but in proportion to the labor/produce contributed by any ordinary farmer member to the growth of the organization viz. Amul.
Without spreading distaste about other forms of organizations (investor owned capitalistic industries), the innocent reply of the shopkeeper gave me a sense of pride that the institutions created by Milkman from Anand continues to inspire us.
May these institutions and future institutions of similar form in making will keep the spirit alive !!

As was the chief different so was the war;
The chief is gone but the war is on;
The madness, the dream, the revolution is all fresh again;
Asking where are the one's who will form the chain;
The chain of soldiers who will give producers of the nation a strength to fight;
A fight which will make 'cooperative's' a real might;
Chief has glorified the milk cooperative dairy with the little Amul fairy;
"I too had a dream" is left to make the chief merry'
