The Republic Of Hunger

[88m3]

Every third malnourished child in the world is from India, so what is the government doing to feed its millions?

More than 40 per cent of India's 61 million children are malnourished, prompting the prime minister to declare the problem a "national shame".

A recent report reveals that levels are twice that of sub-Saharan Africa, making every third malnourished child in the world an Indian.

India has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and runs one of the largest child feeding programmes.

But critics say only a fraction of aid reaches the needy.

101 East travels to India and asks what the country is doing to feed its millions.

101 East airs each week at the following times GMT: Thursday: 2230; Friday: 0930; Saturday: 0330; Sunday: 1630.

Thomas Friedman and other smug neoliberal douchebags are always praising the "economic miracle" that has occurred in India since they embraced more free market-oriented economic policies.

I always cringed when reading Friedman's books especially in regard to India and the East. Anyways the Royals were happy with the status quo after the British left. End result a Neo Feudal system in part thanks to religion. Well in India's case perhaps just Feudal...

depressing documentary, sad really because of lot it could easily be avoid

through tougher government oversight.

India needs more regulation(stronger central government) and certain group of

Americans feel the U.S. should have less regulation(weaker central government).

there is more than enough for everyone.
no person should be without food.

America throws away enough food to feed starving people on an epic scale.
