Here’s a little fact I might have guessed, if asked, but that just got confirmed a few days ago. In the Global Hunger Index , India ranks 96th of 119 countries surveyed. Not a number to be proud of, but there’s a still more alarming number behind it. When those same countries are ranked for child malnutrition (or underweight children), India’s ranking drops to … 117th. That’s right: of those 119, only two countries rank below us.
47.5 per cent of our children suffer from malnourishment. Give a thought to that number. Give a thought to the implications for the future of a country whose kids are malnourished on that scale. What happens when those kids grow into adults? What does it mean for our hopes to be a software centre for the world? For the armed forces? For our universities, our corporations, the government, on and on?
Give that a thought in much the same way as so many Western countries, their birth rates dropping to zero, are worrying about their futures. For what is the qualitative difference between producing no kids, and producing legions of undernourished kids?
