Dr Kurien was forced to stepdown in 2006, stripped of his car, cook and security guard in 2009. In Sept 2012, when his dead body was kept at Amul for last respects, then CM Modi was 20km away to inaugurate a cattle feed plant but stayed away from visiting Anand.

If there's one national icon who truly deserved the Bharat Ratna, it is him! My only hope is that at least in his centenary year, his name is chosen for his tremendous contribution to the nutritional security of the country, albeit posthumously! #VergheseKurien #milkmanofindia
