We do not have responsible media and neither responsible educated people. Slowly and surely the change must come through persistent efforts by all of us.<br />Thanks for writing on this.<br /><br />KantKanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14876147318237882257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-76820589870669479172010-04-04T16:48:45.831+05:302010-04-04T16:48:45.831+05:30To the list of works you've cited, you could a...To the list of works you've cited, you could add the late Myron Weiner's deeply felt 1991 book <i>The Child and the State in India</i>. The book is not about hunger as such but about something related, child labour. It also makes the point that India's failure to eliminate child labour cannot be attributed to poverty because poorer countries had managed to educate their children.<br /><br />And that reminds me -- we have passed a law banning child labour but after that, forgotten about it. (At least, the press coverage.) I sincerely hope that the law making education compulsory does not go the way of other similar laws -- against untouchability, against child labour, against dowry to name a few.Sureshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12270071532015895732noreply@blogger.com
