This is a well researched book which demonstrates the problems and reasons why India continues to struggle with hunger, poverty, the caste system, people with disabilities, the elderly, medical care, religion (specifically Muslim), and women's rights.
While they have taken steps to feed the hungry and employ the impoverished, there is much corruption, made easy by a decentralized system of distribution and control. The covering up of the number of people who continue to die each day of starvation related deaths only serves to perpetuate the problem. This is a very sad book and difficult to get through. I wish there was something I could do to alleviate the hunger and suffering of all these people.
