India's position drops on Global Hunger Index 2021 to 101 from 94, WCD ministry says ranking unscientific

[UKBengali]

These hunger index, so called happiness index and other western sources are fraud and without any real study on the ground.
This happened with China also when it was growing fast.. The Westerns always demean Asians to show ownself superior. Never trust these index.

Hunger index is objective analysis as it can measure something real and tangible like regular access to food.

Happiness index is somewhat subjective though.

Indians should not shoot the messenger but look to wipe out the hunger that still exists in their country as soon as possible.

When you don't see any bad news about India, but still need to post something to collect your 50 cents, you repost 3 year old news instead.

Oh, sorry. Do you want to watch the news from 3 weeks ago?

India’s Hunger Shame Betrays Modi’s Acche Din (Better Days) Hype – Analysis

India's low ranking on the Global Hunger Index (GHI) is particularly alarming when juxtaposed with its South Asian neighbours. Bangladesh, often perceived as less developed, fares better on the hunger index. Even Sri Lanka, despite facing significant economic turmoil, manages to address hunger...

GHI uses the same calculation method for each country. Only India raised doubts.

Check the population in India compared to those countries.

Example - example India has 7 times more population than Pakistan.

You can understand that how situation is worst in those countries

You are right, India's population size is not in the same league as these countries.

I suggest you compare it with China.

I already said that - problem with with India starts from occupation till 1947, the same case with Pakistan and Bangladesh.

And surely, india supposed to compare with china but still we have to long way go. India needs atleast 30 years to rip from these situations.

But if Pakistani or Bangladeshi will start comparing than I always suggest them to first compare with country like Brazil with the similar population

The blessings Pakistan India and Bangladesh have is we have alot of natural resources in food so our population always gets food, in Pakistan, Punjab, Sindh and Kashmir we have plenty of fruits, vegetables, wheat and rice. Balochistan and KPK maybe have less but they buy from other areas, so much wheat etc is sold to other nations illegally and this maybe the only reason some people are suffering. Overall I don't see our region having problems regarding food unless a natural disaster takes place such as heavy flooding/earthquakes or through government corruption.

Although China was not colonized, China was at war from 1840 to 1945. During these 100 years, China was at war with the United States, Russia, France, Great Britain, Japan, Austria-Hungary, Italy, and other colonial powers from all over the world. During these hundred years, China's population died in large numbers and maintained zero growth.

As a centuries-old battleground, do you think China is in better shape than India? No, China is in worse shape.

You should ask why India, as the inheritor of an ancient civilization on the same level as China, why did the Chinese never give up their resistance while the Indians soon surrendered to lick the boots of the British?

You are right on many points especially that China fought combined European powers and Japan. China also went through various civil wars during that time starting with Yun Shikai vs northern warlords vs sun yat sen and the southern warlords later becoming into KMT vs PLA.

However you are slightly incorrect in comparing India and China on one thing. While China was united by emperor Qin Shi Huangdi and the Qin dynasty who defeated all the other kingdoms, and made qin script and language as the de facto language and destroyed all other scripts of the conquered kingdoms. In South Asia that never happened. When the British came and started their control in 1757, they first defeated the Bengal Nawab at the battle of palashi. The Nawab of Bengal was a Muslim led kingdom/state that ruled present day Bangladesh, the current Indian state of West Bengal and parts of other Indian states such as bihar etc. From then the British slowly defeated or pacified the other kingdoms / states within South Asia including mysore , Marathas etc. My point is while the Chinese Han people have been united by Qin Shi huangdi for more than 2000 yrs the people in South Asia were never united or one. It was due to this that the British were easily able to colonize the south Asian region whereas the Chinese people with one national identity fought on.

You know Chinese history very well and what you say is true.

Hats off to your erudition.

The fact is that both Chinese and Indians are Homo sapiens and there is no difference between the two. To hell with the so-called East Asian IQ superiority theory of Westerners.

What really separates China from India are two men.

Qin Shi Huang, known to the Chinese as the "First Dragon(祖龙)", who standardized China's writing, language, taxation, weights and measures, and even the spacing of carriage wheels more than 2,000 years ago. He created a large Han Chinese nation, and gave it a sense of nationhood and statehood far earlier than any other ethnic group. He created the county system, which eliminated local lords and gave all Chinese direct allegiance to the central government. From then on, China moved from the Feudal Age to the Imperial Age.


The other is Mao Zedong. The Cultural Revolution launched by Mao destroyed gender inequality, hierarchical thinking, religious clerics, clan forces, etc., which had been entrenched in all corners of China. The cultural burdens that had accumulated in China over thousands of years were completely destroyed, and China was able to build a new, modernized country without the burdens.

I would also add work ethic and discipline. Chinese, Japanese, Koreans etc have exceptional work ethic and morals. Yes there are few scammers but overall the work ethic of people from China Japan Korea Singapore and even Malaysia is exceptional. Whereas people from South Asia in general is dubious and I say this as an ethnic Bengali. South asians will brag, boast, and deflect. That is why I don’t believe half of the stuff Indian posters here post about defence related stuff because you know it is 90 percent BS. Just like the Galwan incident. We all know what happened but you see Indians here spinning and making fake stories.sane thing from Bangladeshi politicians. Everything according to them is rosy but the reality is otherwise. This thread here is a prime example. An international organization found Indian ranking in the global hunger index at 94 and the Indians here instead of acknowledging the truth and working to improve hunger issues in their country instead want to focus on Pakistan and Bangladesh.
