Deal with Hunger First
by Sameer Joshi on Oct 17, 2010 11:56 PM  | Hide replies

India has been ranked 67, way below neighbouring countries like China and Pakistan, in a new global hunger index by the International Food Policy Research Institute.

The index, released on Monday, rated 84 countries on the basis of three leading indicators - prevalence of child malnutrition, rate of child mortality, and the proportion of people who are calorie deficient.

China is rated much ahead of India at the ninth place, while Pakistan is at the 52nd place on the 2010 Global Hunger Index, released by the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) in association with a German group Concern Worldwide and Welthungerhilfe.

why are we fighting with each other or i would say arguing like fools. nothings is gonna change. life will go on. where ever u may be u r ruled by foolish people who only thinks about them self. by voicing our concern u think they bother. the rich will become riches and poor will become poorer who cares tell me. millions are dying of hunger, do u think the rich bothers about they have no heart at all. its the poor that thinks of the poor. the world has lost it value. we put religion before everything thats what create the mess, leave religion aside and look at a human as a human not for his caste,creed or religion. the world would be a better place if we never involved religion.. be wise...act wise and have a open mind..don't follow what others do. they will perish for their evil deeds. the god watches over every one, no one goes unpunished. they pay their price on earth.

Keenan,

Your understanding of the truth (God watches over everyone, no one goes unpunised. They pay the their price on earth) is gr8.

Many (or most) who read your comments may ask, "Which God? My God or Your God?" - Ha! Ha!

It's hard (rather impossible) to straighten dog's tail, uh!

India can be a Best Country

If each of us Stop ONLY blaming the Politicians and criticize them and START Acting UNITED.

We always fight each other and we realize later on we have wasted our precious time in useless Arguing and can't do much and still keep thinking about the Past instead of coming in to the Present.

FIRST OF ALL , WE ALL SHOULD APPRECIATE AND APPLAUD ALL THOSE REGIONS WHICH ARE DOING WELL...I AM SURE MOST OF THEM ARE...!!

AND THOSE WHO LOVE TO CRITICIZE OTHER REGIONS WHICH HAVE BEEN LEFT BEHIND OWING TO VARIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES , IT SHOULD BE A MATTER OF SHAME FOR ALL OF US...NOT JUST THEM...!!

WOULD YOU BE HAPPY BY HAVING THE BEST ROOM IN YOUR HOME AND CURSE YOUR BROTHER IF HIS ROOM IS IN SHAMBLES...???

THE COST OF DEVELOPMENT
by Aditya Jadeja on Oct 17, 2010 07:51 PM


I would have loved that backward India where there was no fighting amongst each other like it is today.

Most of us here are proving a point by praising their own region and abusing other regions and people...!! Never thought regionalism is the IN THING in India now...That includes me as well...!!

If this is the cost of development , then I dont want any of it...!! Lets appreciate each other's development and love every city !!

If any city / region is doing well , all of us Indians should be proud of it and if some places are left behind its a matter of shame for all of us...!!

I know most of those who read it will just brush it off but I am gonna write anyways...!!

LOVE EVERY PLACE IN YOUR COUNTRY BECAUSE ITS YOURS...!!!

Dubai and Abu dhabi rockzzzzz
by syed jawahar on Oct 17, 2010 07:38 PM  | Hide replies

The cities of the country rockz...The richest country on earth is UAE!!. Iam working here as a software engineer and earning 2.35lakhsINR per month (without income tax)!!!!

Democracy doesnt mean you should have elections and select your governemt and curse the other party for the problems of a nation.

You should live peacefully!!! You should give importance for a security of a women! No wonder Gandhi's words about independence.

UAE is the only country on earth where people come from over 100 countries in the world live peacefully here... This is unity in diversity!!! Proud to be a muslim and proud of my religion!!! GOD has blessed so much to UAE, its true that who follows the commands of GOD for eg- you should not put tax on the earnings of individual!!! GOD will give more wealth from his provistions. Its sad that eventhough Indian gov is taking 30% tax from the employees but still we see a lot of poor people in India. Its a curse infact and all those who dont feed the poor will go to hell eg - Ambani's, Cine actors, Cricketing stars who have billions but no time to feed the poor!!


In UAE, when you visit a restaurent, you will notice that restaurent will be Indian, Servers will be Indian/pakistani/bangladesh, the people who are eating will be from USA,INDIA,PAKISTAN,PHILIPINES etc etc....And you will be amazed and just tell inside your heart - 'GOD - You are great!!!'.

Syed Jawahar - 2.35 Lakhs Indian Rupees is nothing. I am in Dubai since last 16 years. I have my own business and earn much more than the figures you are proud about. Despite giving the best of one's abilities, acumen, etc. to this country, one has to queue up every 3 years to get the visa stamped on one's passport. I have seen business people from India and Pakistan and Iran who are settled into Dubai/Sharjah during Second World War (1939 to 1945)who have toiled for 3 generations for this country and you find them standing in a queue at the Immigration and Labour department every 3 years to get their Residence Visa stamped on the passport. If you call this "Paradis" I will call you Naive at the least and a fool at the most.

oops, you are again? I would reiterate Dubai is a LOST PARADISE. They can't be a Business hub and They can be only a PRA HUB. They can be a decent Tourist Center but after sometime they can't attract anything. I think you were aware that 1 Dhs Value come down to 12 from 13. Open your eyes.

Abu Dhabi will never grow due to the Mentality of Local and their Sheik is not Broad minded like Dubai. So they can enjoy a short term success and then became a LOST PARADISE.

They day is not far way 1 Dhs value going to be 1 INR and that time we will see what Dubai and Abu Dhabi will do

Silly Boy!

$ Billions of trade between India-Pak, Iran-Iraq, Saudi-Arabia-Iran-Israel goes through ... hehe ... Dubai, Whynot?

As long as said countries' leaders stick their heads in sand, Dubai will survive. Maybe not hyper ... but much better than S. Asia anyday/anytime,... so-sorry to toot 'yer horn pardner ...

Consider also that as long as Middle-East, South and Central Asians keep 'stabbing their own countries in the back', Dubai has a strong business case.

You are a loser who seeks silly pride in silly acheivements in life. Who asked for your income, after all I make more than you after tax in India.

Never talk ill of India. It is a country where you can be peaceful inspite of all the problems we have. Lets us see the life in gulf after the oil reserves get enpty. You will be the first one to catch the train back (yes... you wont have penny to buy a flight ticket then,..). Leave your pride alone and live a life ...

I served in Operation Desert Storm, Gulf War I ... Sulaimaniyah Sector (Saudi Theater) of War.

I totally agree with your comment above Syed ... life in rich GCC countries, even Shia Iran, Azerbaijaan etc. is genuinely more secular, peacefull and tolerant of other nationlities/creed/religion rather than India, Paksitan, Sri Lanka ... let's just say S.Asia mostly.

Perhaps it's poverty and hardship that maps over to religious, business and social strife. hehe ... they call it ... Democracy!

Now there is a revised projection that the debt of UAE is going to increase to 135 Billion USD from the present 95 Billion. UAE is the top country in the world who contributes highest per capita to global warming on this planet. There are ultra rich arab sheikhs and also poor laborers local residents in UAE . Other than petroleum, and silica sand, everything is expensive in UAE. UAE can never match with fastest growing India and China on this planet. It was Abu Dhabi who helped with 30 - 40 billions in the Dubai debt crisis, otherwise Dubai would have gone with the wind by now . Europeans and Americans are coming to Dubai only because their own economies are in problem, there are no jobs there, and dirham is cheaper than Pounds and Euros and Dollar.

Where does your satyam scam wala belong to...??? You keep accusing Gujarat to be a land of swindlers...!!

How abt the Nithari killings ?? Conveniently you have forgotten abt that...!!

Hyderabad and Noida have more of IT companies than whole of Gujarat put together BUT Gujarat has always been a big time manufacturing hub of India which has created more jobs than any other state...

I dont wanna go through that debate cuz you just happen to be a moron wearing blinkers...!!

So what is your point? You want to say Gujarat is the Best State in India? So what you get in return? I can see from your past messages your unable to come out of Gujarat yet. That's sad part.

Everyone proud of their own City and Town but what u r here trying to say is nothing.

Well I agree with your last 2 lines but it's a never ending debate if you say we are the Best. The article deal about Growth and the Best. I hope u understand.

Note: Rediff and Abuse is never gonna segregated. Indians always going to keep Fight and abuse each other who is best and so while counties like China going well ahead of India even though they are not Talented like Indians.
