  1. "India has 6.7 million children going without food: Study India had by far the largest number of zero-food children (6.7 million), which is almost half of all zero-food children in the 92 countries included in this Harvard study."

  2. There's no need to compare India to inland China; instead, let's compare it to a typical Tibetan farmer or herdsman. When asked about his yak herd, a Tibetan herdsman may respond that he has 300 yaks, each of which can be sold for 10,000 RMB. With 300 yaks, the total value would be 3 million RMB, equivalent to $420,000 USD. However, he wouldn't sell all his yaks, as they also provide milk, bringing in an additional income of 40,000 to 50,000 RMB per year. This income is solely from his yaks, not accounting for other livestock such as sheep, pigs, chickens, and more. As a result, Tibetan farmers lead significantly better lives compared to their Indian counterparts. Tibet has an average population density of 6 people per square kilometer, whereas India's density is 460 per square kilometer. Additionally, Tibet experiences minimal pollution, while India suffers from more than 2 million dea...ths annually due to air pollution.

  4. As Chinese, we are incredibly fortunate compared to India to have had a visionary leader like Mao Zedong. Mao, even in his 30s during the 1920s, a 100 years ago, recognized the importance of land reform in China. He firmly believed that land reform was essential to unleash the productivity of agriculture and drive industrialization. Mao asserted that without land reform, China would not achieve industrialization and consequently would not become rich or strong. Today, China's success unequivocally validates his foresight. Conversely, India's trajectory serves as a stark contrast, demonstrating the consequences of neglecting land reform. However, implementing such reforms in India is deemed impossible due to the widespread need for a comprehensive revolution. And that is the current situation.

  5. certainly from this we can see nothing works in India, hah :)) cannot make anything in its industry, not enough income to its farmers, 74.1% suffer not enough nutritional food (more than 1 billion), military is beaten all the time by its neighbor, and this 1.4 billion country kicked out by a tiny island (with population only half a million)

  6. "India Has the Highest Rate of ‘Zero-Food’ Children After Guinea and Mali, Reveals Study The study estimated the prevalence of zero-food children – where they haven't consumed anything at all in a 24-hour span – in India is at 19.3%. The figures are much lower in Bangladesh (5.6%), Pakistan (9.2%), DR Congo (7.4%), Nigeria (8.8%) and Ethiopia (14.8%)."

  9. In this country, not only in agriculture but also in nearly all aspects such as the political system, society, culture, religion, ideology, laws, and land reform, fundamental problems persist. Despite these issues being widely acknowledged as obstacles, they are paradoxically considered national treasures by Indians in this self-proclaimed largest democracy. Consequently, there is strong resistance to change, ensuring that these problems persist unabated. This obstinacy is destined to lead the country nowhere, creating a sense of hopelessness and a bleak future.

  12. Agricultural products, by their very nature, typically have low market value yet are essential for human sustenance. In industrialized countries like the US, where there is ample farmland and a relatively small population, agricultural output is vast and efficient. This leads to a significant surplus in supply and drives down international market prices for these products. Additionally, farmers in these countries often receive government subsidies, further lowering their costs. As a result, it is exceedingly challenging for developing countries with large populations to compete in the global market. For instance, in India, the market price of rice is approximately 250 rupees per kilogram. Even if a farmer's family manages to sell one ton, the total revenue would only amount to 250,000 rupees, equivalent to $3,000 annually or $250 per month (actually much lower since there are cost for seeds, fertilizer and pesticide and fuels for machines) . Considering that the average landholding per farmer in India is a mere 0.39 hectares and the average grain yield per hectare is 2100 kilograms, that leaves 0.39*2100= 819 kg for a farmer, even he sells them all, that is just 819*250= 204750, or $2467 a year, or $205 a month, the survival of these farmers becomes a pressing concern.
