Deepshikasai: What If Mughal Era Had Plastic?

Let us assume that plastics were manufactured since the period of Mughals and it was dumped into the oceans like the people of this generation do it so we could have seen those plastics even now floating in the seas and rivers. What could have happened to the aquatic animals that we see today?

They could have all died due to the extensive consumption of these plastics. The food chain of our ecology plays a very major role in the human lifestyle. Chemicals and pesticides are used for better production of crops. They get washed away into the oceans and rivers. These waters are then consumed by the aquatic animals and we humans end up eating these aquatic animals. In this way they enter our food cycle.

It not only affects the non-vegetarians who are getting affected but vegetarians are also affected by this as there are chemicals involved in the plants. As we, the human beings occupy the top level in any food chain; the maximum concentration gets accumulated in our bodies.

There was a time when beverages were served in clay matkhas. Which when consumed was returned back to the vendors. But with the thought of hygiene and cleanliness, disposable plastic cups became famous.

A study states that two-thirds of the pollution entering our oceans from across the world comes from the 20 most polluting rivers, a majority of which are in Asia. China’s Yangtze River tops that list, dumping approximately 333,000 tons of plastic into the East China Sea every year.

Meanwhile, India comes in distant second, with just the Ganga River responsible for 115,000 tons of plastic output, with another Chinese river, Xi, coming in third.

Before the days of plastic, when fishermen dumped their trash overboard or lost a net, it consisted of natural materials like metal, cloth or paper that would either sink to the bottom or biodegrade quickly but plastic remains floating on the surface.
