India Ranked 65th among 88 countries on global hunger index. Despite being unaffected by the recent global economy slowdown, India has not improved its position on this index. Still 21% of the Indian population is undernourished, 43.5 per cent Indian children under the age five were underweight(2002-2007). Recently our government has declared food stock of 50 million tonne, then why our 300 million Indians fellow goes without food every day in India? these data may not be surprising for many of you as we are used to see these data every then and now, but have you really ever thought about this number "300 million" this is not just another number of account and statistics department or a number of any data sheet, this is number of HUMAN, number of INDIANS who goes WITHOUT FOOD per day. we have dominoz with the revenue of $1.425 billionUSD, Pepsico $42.3 billion USD and many other branded companies with billion dollar revenue serving the so called middle class and upper class people round the globe at one hand and people living without food in many countries. Here is the recent data of hunger index of India.
As we know a picture speaks thousand words, in this post I will be using just few picture and rest i leave on the readers to understand.
At one hand we have :
And at another hand
I don't want you to leave this blog with a bad mood after seeing this pathetic state of HUMAN being. I don't urge anything, I don't blame any government or anyone for this. I leave it on the readers to think on this and take their own action.
We have the fertile land, rivers, supporting climate, we have enough resources to feed our own people, then why? why are still on this index? Why we can't feed our brothers who are also a HUMAN and son of our Mother India.
Jago Bhartiye, Jago Bharat.

ReplyDeleteHow many times have we thought about choosing between bottled drink and water?
We shall have a debate, but on this I believe we may have a concurrence in the end.
And I wonder why rice cultivating regions of Bihar, Chattisgarh and all are not able to sustain the population of those areas? Andhra and Punjab, by virtue of their farm lands are sustaining not just those regions but India (as well as NRI's :P), but the fact that traditional regions of agricultural rich land is not able to sustain those regions itself is the real concern. The concern about 42 billion pepsico or even bigger Coca cola comes later in my opinion.
