The Great Indian ‘Mithai’ Debate!

The Indian folks love their sweets. And the war of words between people from across the country as to which ‘mithai’ is better than the other has never ceased. The debate was renewed on Twitter after we reported how Orissa losing the ‘rosogulla’ war was unfounded.

Member of Parliament from BJD couldn’t be happier.

Of course, the war over Rosogulla wasn’t about to stop with just an OpIndia fact check. Panda wasn’t in the mood to let go of the Rosogulla. He was seem demanding a head-to-head tasting contest for the Bangal and Oriya variety

This, however, was just the beginning of the Great Indian Mithai debate. Soon, polls came up wondering which is the most over rated Indian mithai of them all, and Twitter saw some hilarious responses.

Soon, a two years old tweet, that quoted Lord Crincklybottom’s “undisputed” hypothesis of the origins of Mysorepak resurfaced. While Orissa and West Bengal fought over rosogulla, we saw Tamilians and Kannadigas fighting over the origins of Mysorepak.

Mithai enthusiasts from the different parts of the country were seen hating on each other and demanding public shamings. The war had heated up!

While the hate rises, fascist creeps in, divide deepens, we feel that it’s time Modi takes moral responsibility for this National Mithai mess and resigns with immediate effect. In the meantime, we here at OpIndia are closely following the developments while munching on some delicious Gulab Jamun!
