Dr Ramesh Gautam, National General Secretary of Arogya Bharti strongly stood by their belief that it was a question of long-lived tradition, customs and knowledge of India. “We teach a child what is right and wrong after birth. But in this process, the child will learn from the mother’s womb. We will tell the mothers what to eat, listen, read, how to behave, what should be their yoga module during pregnancy to have a good child. We will do it through Ayurveda. It is for their physical, mental, intellectual and spiritual development.” When asked what was meant by “best” child, Gupta said, “Best is a superlative term & there is nothing wrong in using this term for an unborn child as we look to have the best in our lives, it is about wholesome development. We are not at all indicating to the height, skin colour or beauty of the child. Best is not a negative word.” When asked about his views on the protest in Kolkata, he said, “The political atmosphere in Bengal now is such that if you talk anything about Indian culture you will be attacked”.
