关于印度的一项重要数据
先说明全球饥饿指数，再谈关于印度的数据
国际粮食政策研究机构所公布的全球饥饿指数是显示发展中国家和地区的饥饿
状况的一个重要读数。
一个国家的饥饿指数越高，那这个国家的人民受饥饿困扰的程度就越严重，同
时，这个国家有更高比例的婴儿体重低于正常值，也有更多的婴儿夭折。
但必须指出，国际粮食政策研究机构的总部在西方，所以它的全球饥饿指数不
显示发达国家的具体饥饿指数，所以一定程度上就显示着一种自命不凡的偏见。
同时，它对某些国家的饥饿指数的计算存在着争议，比如，菲律宾的饥饿指数
可能被低估了。
尽管有某些不足，全球饥饿指数仍然是一项重要的数据。对于人类战胜饥饿有
一定的参考作用；其战略意义不可忽视。
(当然，我们也呼吁国际粮食政策研究机构要更全面、更公正地评估全球饥饿指数。)
“民主”印度获得亚洲饥饿会的铜牌
根据国际粮食政策研究机构公布的2009年全球饥饿指数，“民主”的印度高分
成为亚洲国家的第三名。也就是说，印度人民受饥饿困扰的严重程度在亚洲排
名第三，因此获得亚洲饥饿会的铜牌；
具体数据如下 (名次/奖牌/国家/饥饿指数)：
1 (金牌) 也门 (得分：27.0)
2 (银牌) 孟加拉国 (得分：24.7)
3 (铜牌) 印度 (得分：23.9)
就这些数据我们可以作一些分析。
最近十几年以来，西方和它们操控的“民主”玩偶们在谈到亚洲的饥饿问题的
时候总是要谈朝鲜，而且尽量把那里说成人间地狱，而对“民主”国家上演的
丑剧却尽量回避。
印度虽然获得亚洲饥饿会的铜牌，但有些“民主”国家的饥饿情况很可能比印
度更糟糕。
(这些“民主”国家是伊拉克、阿富汗、不丹，它们没有数据可供参考，所以
也就不用计算它们的饥饿指数了。)
让我们再回头来看看印度的具体情况。
印度面对的外界压力非常有限
和朝鲜不同，印度所处的地理位置非常有利。
朝鲜时时面对强大的美国和手下仆从国的团伙挑衅和围堵，外部压力巨大，国防
成本自然惊人。这在很大程度上限制了朝鲜的发展。
但印度的情况却完全不同，印度的主要邻国巴基斯坦比印度弱小得多，另一个
主要邻国中国在西部则基本以防守为主，所以印度面对的外界压力是非常有限
的。
公平地说，印度的国家生存环境在亚洲无疑是最好的，可以放手搞内部建设发展。
印度国土辽阔，适宜农业生产
和狭小多山、曾饱受美国空中轰炸蹂躏的朝鲜不同，印度国土辽阔，资源丰富，
河流纵横，气候非常适宜人类农耕生活，又有几千年的发达文明，积累了宝贵的
农业经验。
然而，印度是亚洲饥饿会的第三名
现在，在经历了多年的高速经济成长后，印度仍然位居亚洲饥饿会的第三名。
那人们要问，在过去几十年里，在这个“民主”的“仙境”里，到底上演了多少
饥饿的惨剧？！
在“自由”的黑暗“透明”中，还隐藏着多少不可公布的内幕？！
当然，印度的“自由”政阀和土皇帝们不会在意这些事情，他们永远稳坐钓鱼台，
继续操弄“民主”“选举”的政治马戏。
“民主”印度的世袭政治比“专制”的朝鲜还要发达
值得指出，“民主”印度在世袭政治方面干得比“专制”的朝鲜要“出色”。
印度各地的“民主”政阀和土皇帝暂且不提，就说印度中央的尼赫鲁-甘地王朝
现在已经传到了第四位君主(索尼亚-甘地)，她以印度政坛太后老佛爷的身分从
幕后操控印度的“民主”政局。
下面是部分参考材料，
(这部分参考材料是根据2008年的全球饥饿指数撰写的，由于作者没有把也门当作
绝对意义上的亚洲国家，所以，印度被算作亚洲饥饿会的第二名。)
Global Hunger Index 2008: India lags way behind
WHILE THE international community is boggled by the global financial downturn, triggered by the US sub-prime crisis, another global crisis is seemingly being brushed aside as a typical problem pertaining to the poor countries – the problem of hunger. The International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in collaboration with German Agro-Action and Concern Worldwide has released the Global Hunger Index 2008 that shows most countries making a slow progress to cut down hunger and reduction of child mortality rate.
As part of the Millennium Development Goal, signed by leaders from 189 countries in September, 2000, the international community has set targets to cut hunger by half and under-five mortality rate by two-thirds by 2015. However, given the current slow level of progress in the developing world coupled with the current global inflation and financial crisis, the possibility of reaching the Millennium Development Goal by 2015 appears bleak.
The Global Hunger Index is made according to three indicators – the proportion of people who are calorie deficient, child malnutrition and child mortality. The countries in the Latin American and Caribbean and East Asia and Pacific regions have, however, made significant progress on this front while the Sub-Saharan African countries are worst affected by malnutrition and child mortality. Thirty-eight out of the 42 Sub-Saharan countries rank, show dismal progress with the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) being the country with the highest rate of hunger followed by Eritrea, Sierra Leone, Ethiopia and Liberia. Despite the overall gloomy picture of the African continent, Mozambique, Ghana and Malawi have made considerable progress in reducing hunger.
India, ranked 66 among 88 countries, shows that despite of economic growth, the hunger scenario of the country is worse than about 25 Sub-Saharan nations and worst among all countries of Asia, with only Bangladesh lagging behind it. Madhya Pradesh is the hungriest state in the country followed by Jharkhand and Bihar. According to the Global Hunger Index 2008, over 200 million Indians are unsure about accessing their daily bread. However, IFPRI reports that India has made notable progress in reducing hunger and child mortality and is very close on being on the track to reach the 2015 development goal target.
The slow progress in resolving the hunger crisis has been attributed to high population growth followed by slow income growth, high energy and bio-fuel prices followed by drastic change in science and technology, climate change, globalisation and urbanisation bringing changes in the pattern of food consumption, production and market. The current global financial crisis will further complicate the hunger scenario in the future by causing shortage of availability of capital for agriculture and related activities, resulting in further food shortage.
According to estimates, to reach the 2015 development goal, investment to the tune of $14 billion will be required annually. The Sub-Saharan countries will require $5 billion to be pumped into their economy annually. A complete restructuring of the methods of productivity and research, nutrition and social protection and market and trade could help in feeding millions of hungry mouths worldwide.
