I have often praised India’s progress on the economic front, but its myriad problems across social factors leave it way short of what many patriotic Indians like to pretend. It has poverty and disease far worse then any regional nation, as stated by the Encyclopedia Britannica no less.
Re: Eat your greens....not not. Hunder 'alarming' in India.
One thing about indians is, that they are too proud to admit this fact. Or they passively mention it as saying, o well look at the 200 million people who CAN eat in india.
Its almost chilling and I personally wish I could do something about it. I am very passionate about this stuff. One day I can make a difference maybe. :(
India need to grow at more than 10% for next twenty years before we can see some trickling down effect. After liberaisation we had some modest growth rate of 4 % till 1999 and then to 5- 6% till 2003 and then onwards till last year around 8-9 %.
Eradication is a big world. I dont think even the industrial nations managed to eradicate poverty. What we can do is to bring it down. In such big diverse country with large population its impossible to eradicate. You can only bring it down.
