From the high altitudes of Jammu and Kashmir State three plants have been collected which are used as substitutes for the conventional tea plant -Camellia sinensis (Linn.) O. Kuntze. The beverage is prepared from the ischolar_mains of Polvgonum amplexicaule D. Don, and Platanus orientalis Linn,; and entire plant, of Balanoiphora involucrata Hook. f. & Thoms.

India does not have a clear stand on the release and consumption of genetically modified crops (food). The only approved crop is Bt-cotton, which has put India on the global map as a cotton exporting country. Even so, Bt-brinjal is under moratorium and GM mustard is prevented from undergoing commercial trial. All these decisions are not based on sound scientific principles. Activism against has successfully prevented exploitation of a powerful technology that can contribute to India’s food and nutrition security. This article attempts to give a balanced perspective of genetic modification technology as one of the serious options to be considered on case to case basis. Ambivalence will seriously affect India’s food security in the future.Keywords
