Ecological Poverty: The New Serial Killer in India

The world of Indian policymakers is stoutly murderous. The current spate of malnutrition deaths in various parts of the country is just an enforcement of it.

In Maharashtra’s Nandurbar and Orissa’s Nabrangpur and Malkangiri districts, death continues to stalk its tribal residents. Everyday 16 children die in Maharashtra of malnutrition.
