About six months back, I had posted a tweet about
'bhut jolokia', the hottest chilli in the world, to which some Americans have taken fancy.
Then I had mentioned that it would not be long before the CIA realised that “administering” it the wrong way would get even the most hardened criminals to 'sing'!
Well, for once,
Indian defence scientists have beaten the Americans, a bit differently though. They have developed a grenade filled with bhut jolokia. Its smell is so pungent that it will numb and immobilise terrorists and enemy troops. Work is also on to use it in teargas shells and as a powder that can be used by women to protect themselves.
Hope Haldirams and others take note that there might be significant cost savings if they use it as a food ingredient!
Soon the women in India shall have the ultimate weapon! Beware!
But without "gender based reservation" how shall this weapon be exclusive to women.. me wonders...
The Indian military has developed a grenade with the hottest chilli known to earth – the bhut jolokia. It has more than 1,000,000 Scoville units, the scientific measurement of a chili's spiciness.
(An earlier tweet has some more details). Since this is non-toxic grenade, it's uses are plenty.
"Srivastava, who led a defense research laboratory in Assam, said trials are also on to produce bhut jolokia-based aerosol sprays to be used by women against attackers and for the police to control and disperse mobs."Does it also means that one has given up on the rapists? Instead of punishing them would our "guardians of law" start distributing these grenades to the victims?
Guess it is better to leave the grenade in the hands of the Indian Military...

This sizzling hottie from Assam is sure making waves.
Bhut Jolokia, also known as Naga Jolokia, is the hottest chilli in the world. Measured at more than one million SHU, it is twice as hot as its nearest competitor, California's Red Savlina. It is called “bhut” because one turns ghostly (bhut ban jaata hai) after eating it.
Americans, always fascinated by anything that is the biggest, largest etc have, not surprisingly, taken fancy to it. Chilli-heads are already
growing Jolokia in hot houses. A sauce made with it has been aptly named “Naga-sore-ass” while another one is “Kiss my Bhut”!
It won't be long before the CIA realises that “administering” Bhut Jolokia the wrong way will get even the most hardened prisoners to sing. Move over Sodium Pentathol. The real truth serum is here! Human Rights?!
