India's Crisis Of Food Inflation & Hunger

Can we really feel any bloody pride with 350 million of our people going to sleep hungry?
Why do we need Commonwealth games?
Why does that unscrupulous rotten excuse of a human being ambani need a 6 billion dollar home?
(Read my friend Swami Thambi's post Look Around Before You Commemorate on this blog)

I am NOT a communist but I am a father. My eyes watered up when I read the story of this girl Poonam. I wish I had money like Ambani so I could go and adopt the whole family and make her feel well. But I can't. I am just a helpless guy trying to keep my own world together. When I see that Pakistan and Sub-Saharan countries are doing better than us, I become extremely angry. Unfortunately, the Indians in India have become very blasé and are doing their best to become comfortably numb.
I have this to say to them:
1. The country ain't goin' nowhere until everyone is on the train.
2. You, my dear friend, will have to come out of your house and see this sometime. I hope your conscience will let you sleep after you see this.
At the very least, you could go out and vote right in the next election.




India's Crisis Of Food Inflation & Hunger

"Chris Morris, of BBC News writes in an article titled, 'Diet of mud and despair in Indian village', published May 15: "In Ganne, just off the main road about an hour south of the city of Allahabad (in Northern India), this (poverty/hunger) is a simple fact of life. Inside one of the huts sits a little girl called Poonam. She is three years old, and in the early stages of kidney failure. Like many children in Ganne she has become used to eating bits of dried mud and silica, which she finds in the quarry. Tiny children chew on the mud simply because they are hungry - but it is making them ill. When reports first emerged of children eating mud here local officials delivered more food and warned the villagers not to speak to outsiders. "
