And We Are Totally Engrossed In Non Issues!

POLITICS. .

Madhoun, Uttar Pradesh : The government is spending billions of dollars on welfare schemes, and plans even more this year. But that is news to Poona, whose daughter may soon die from that stain on India's growth story -- malnutrition.

Poona, who married at 14 and breaks quarry stones for a living, shielded her daughter's sunken face from a harsh summer sun with her blue sari. She does not know Urmila's weight, but the whimpering 18-month child looked more like a new born baby.

"She eats nothing," said Poona, a lower caste woman from a northern Indian tribal community in Uttar Pradesh. "I feel scared of losing my child."

What is more important, a child's life, a mother's distress or IPL where there are few winners and rest all are losers but here there are only losers.

In a country where cricket teams are bought for nearly 1400 crores death by malnutrition is something for which we all are responsible and we all should be ashamed of our selfishness.
