Level of Indian Poverty:Diet of mud and despair in Indian village

Diet of mud and despair in Indian village

By Chris Morris
BBC News, Ganne, Uttar Pradesh


Two children in Ganne
Children in Ganne have to eat dried mud and silica

"We live on a day-to-day basis," Suraj says, as the faint sound of hammering echoes across the village. "What we earn is what we spend on our families in a day."

In Ganne, just off the main road about an hour south of the city of Allahabad, this is a simple fact of life.

It is home to members of a poor tribal community, who live in small huts clustered around a series of shallow quarries.

Inside one of the huts sits a little girl called Poonam. She is three years old, and in the early stages of kidney failure.

Like many children in Ganne she has become used to eating bits of dried mud and silica, which she finds in the quarry. Tiny children chew on the mud simply because they are hungry - but it is making them ill.

When reports first emerged of children eating mud here local officials delivered more food and warned the villagers not to speak to outsiders. But Poonam's father, Bhulli, is close to despair.

What can we do? We eat the mud from the quarry when we feel hungry
Phulkari
Villager

"What can I say," he shrugs. "We can't afford to eat properly, so how can I afford to buy medicines for her?"

"I am really worried about my daughter, but I don't know what to do next. The poor need the government's help - if we had it, we wouldn't be in such a desperate state."

People like Bhulli and Suraj make their money filling lorries with bits of rock. It takes about eight hours for five men to fill one load. They carry the stones up from the quarry in plastic washing-up bowls balanced on their heads.

One of the women in the village, Phulkari, approaches to tell us about her little boy.

"My son's name is Suraj, and he's started eating mud too," she says. "What can we do? We eat the mud from the quarry when we feel hungry."

"Where do we get the money?" she asks. "We usually eat food only once a day. Last night we went to bed without eating anything at all."

Food protests

The World Bank estimates that one third of all the very poorest people in the world live in India, and stories like those from Ganne have now inspired a national Right To Food campaign.

Map

There have been protest rallies in the heart of Delhi, as the Indian parliament prepares to debate a new Food Security Bill. It will dictate how many people in the country get access to massively subsidised food grain.

There's no doubt that India should be able to afford to feed its people. But the devil is in the detail.

"It'll only cost the government about 1.2% of GDP to universalize a system of giving food for all, cheap food for all," says Kavitha Srivastava, the national coordinator of the Right to Food campaign.

"They can do it, if they have the political will. It's prioritising - where do you want to put the money?"

"We think it should go in building people's nutrition levels. You can't have a country which is weak, which is hungry, which is anaemic. How can you have a nation like this?"

Now the government seems to be prepared to accept a new way of defining poverty, which will increase the number of people below the poverty line by more than 100 million to about 372 million.

If you simply throw money at this problem...you'll have to throw four times the amount to get the result you want. And the government of India can't afford that.
Dr Kaushik Basu
Finance ministry economic advisor

If international poverty standards were used, the number would be much higher still - and some Indian economists believe it should be.

But whichever figure is used, the poverty line feels like a rather fictitious divide because feeding more than a billion people is a massive logistical exercise. Vast quantities of food provided by the state go missing every day because of corruption and theft.

"Food ought to be a right," says Dr Kaushik Basu, the Chief Economic Advisor at India's Ministry of Finance. "And I believe this is a movement in the correct direction."

"But what worries me at times is that we're being too glib and quick about the delivery mechanism."

Official estimates are that right across the country 75% of subsidised grain does not make it to the intended target in villages like Ganne.

"So if you simply throw money at this problem, you'll have to throw four times the amount to get the result you want," says Dr Basu. "And the government of India can't afford that. The budget will go bust."

In other words, the delivery system needs to be reformed as well - and corrupt local officials need to be taken to task. There is a long way to go.

Daunting challenge

Jean Dreze, a highly respected Belgian-born academic who has worked in India for many years, points out that the current debate is only about the most basic levels of food intake.

A woman at a Fair Price shop
There are fair price shops where people can buy subsidised foodgrain

"For a family of five to have reasonably good nutrition, nothing like meat or fish or any such thing, but just one egg per person per day, one banana, some dhal, some vegetables, a reasonably balanced diet - it would cost more than 200 rupees ($4.4; £3) per family per day," he says.

And that is far more than the amounts being discussed at the moment.

It is a sobering reminder that feeding India is a daunting challenge - the government knows it, and the prime minister says it must be a priority. But the Right to Food Campaign insists they are not doing enough.

The Indian economy continues to grow at impressive speed, and there is no shortage of food in the country. It just isn't reaching the people who need it most, on a consistent basis.

So in Ganne they continue to eat mud. And without finding a solution here in India, the world will come nowhere near the targets it has set itself for reducing global poverty.

A tale of Birds

I have been emotionally charged when I read this story. An Australian friend sent me a few months back







I dont know about animals and birds whether they have emotions like human kind. But tragedy drives me mad.

My published poems

Looking back my works of Literature

I started writing bengali poems after my english poetry book ' Ravishing Youth 300' published. my friends would express their views in jest that I would return in bengali writing like Michael Madhusudan Datta, the legend in Bengal. M M D is my only inspiration I dreamed in my childhood, I wanted to become a rebel poet like him. I ignored nobel Laureate poet Rabindranath Tagore , I dont have explanation why but felt deep to avoid him, and so I did. I loved Nazrul Islam and his songs.. any way
I write in both language Bengali and English, I could not learn Hindi I should have learnt..

all my reviews in periodicals and daily papers were an invasion to correct my wild fancy and construction of poetry.

This Land and My Being

This land and my Being : A journey through desperation, struggle and hardship.

Hi,
I am Albert Ashok. I am a Poet and painter!. And I have come a long way struggling my soul with all sorts of odds and oppositions.
I was born in a poor and illiterate family. Under pressure of poverty and lack of consciousness about education I could not finish my school. So, what is poverty better say how poor class lead life I know well. When you have no money , you have no power you are absolutely a fool, you have to digest all, face all your opposition, tolerate insult . You have to close your eyes , stitch your mouth, feign as if you are a deaf, control your coolness and restrain your anger and emotion. I don’t mean that money is all, but it is unavoidable power and source of sustenance. How one become a desperate and helpless, take drastic steps the second man will never know.

Mistreatment, misbehaviour, are the things the poor people only can expect, not in India but everywhere of this globe, mostly Asian and African countries.
Two square of a meal a day is not secured for human kind. We love to remain semi blind, ignorant once our own security and comfort is achieved, we don’t take care for others who are poorer than us. We remain busy always to secure our lives, the materials we need at every moment.

Think of other creatures, they don’t fight for their living place, food water and shelter.

The civilization has given us ( human) the utmost desperation and helpless state.
Animal world is better than us. They don’t have so much fear and concern about the things beyond their own life. When some one begs money we advice. ‘hey man do work, why do you beg?’ But do we have jobs? Why unemployment grows day by day? I begged in my life jobs not money, door to door, no one seemed to give me jobs, everyone suspects whether I was a thief or not, I felt insulted, on then I was a small boy of fifteen!


How cruel is this world we know all, but most of time we forget it we see and look for a moderate situation of living. We don’t let worst situation let overcome us, we have faith over all people, though we fear, and remain aware of evil.
In my childhood I was very simple and fool, but little headstrong. I could not chalk out my daily life, or plan things and follow. A bit whimsical too. So sometimes I used to demand persistently to my father and become very much rebellious. I tried to stand on my own leg from the very early age.
Life was so hard and rude to me would not yield any fruit.
Art, literature, music were my love, like other common people, I dreamed many profession, like a writer, artist, doctor, journalist in my adolescence days, and knew without study I could not become any one of these professions. So, I tried hard to find a scope to get admission in school, but failed mainly due to my penury. The people around me used to encourage and discourage both, it was my dream to become a celebrity any how. This is I am talking about a time when there was no TV and Internet, It was around seventy in a hill state name Tripura.
People would say that many great men born in poor family, could not study in school, but anyhow became great, contributing his or her talent to this country, hearing their story I got inspiration and confidence. So, dream would drive me crazy often. I started earning and run my life as a hawker in Agartala, capital of Tripura. I sold ground nut, sold Daily news paper, sold tobacco product like cigeratte and cigars ,betel leaf, sold boiled pea near country liquor shop, in hope to have a good sale.
Everyone thought I am becoming an evil man, ( as naturally, people do not respect street boys, and think of them are all root of evils) so, began to despise me , I felt alienated from them so decided to run away from my native land.
One fine morning, around 8 o clock, in 1979 I escape from my home, with utter desperation and wet eyes, to see and explore my virginland of future, I came to Kolkata , Westbengal through Assam by train, It took about six months. The six months made me memorable for rest of my life.

This kolkata is not known to me, very much different from my beloved Tripura. My Bengali dialect did not match with the dialect of West Bengal, Everything I found were quite different, People are much conscious about everything, life was faster than ours. Everything I would see with great amazement, even if people were to insult me I would notice how they react and talk.

Before leaving my home in Tripura I had dream to become a writer or artist, so , when I arrived in kolkata, I decided to become a famous artist or writer and left the idea of becoming a doctor or journalist, this decision was based on the remarks and discussion of local people who are poor.


Nobody knew me in kolkata, so geting a shelter was very tough.
Anyway, I came in contact with a renowned artist, his name is Bijon Choudhury, my life started moving ahead creating a new chapter.

My Teacher Bijon Choudhury and me before 1985

Almost a year I had a shelter at his house as a domestic help boy, I learned the primary concept of fine arts at his home. I expressed my dream to become an artist to him, he allowed, but I was very unfortunate, I had to leave his house, and beg for job and lived on the compassion of other people within a year. Many people had helped me . I became a beggar boy.

I could draw little, and managed a job in the film advertising office and made layouts, designs and some poster.
That job also did not last, I came to college street area to find some jobs in publication field, it was probably in the beginning of 1982. Spending few years in ups and downs I have become little matured and seasoned to unknown circumstances of artistic crisis. I decided, any way, I have to learn English language, capable to read and write, learn drawing, painting , make myself fit and parallel to the people on a graduate level, at least. I tried my best, People began to like me , love me , do something for me. My perseverance and endeavour started to yield result and brought me where I am now.

I have been drawing and painting as a profession for twenty five years, since 1982. I am self-taught and first started out as an illustrator in the book publication offices. I am always looking for new ways to express myself, and for the past years I have taken up Painting, as profession. I love art, literature and music. at times I went to teachers of music and dance.

At present, I feel all my infatuations and dream for art, and literature has withered, my ambition has changed totally, all I want now is to become a perfect man and hope I shall live and breath for mankind I shall work for global peace, I shall use my talent the skill of art and literature for this mission. This world really needs me!

I feel proud when lakhs of people use them, and when i get letters by post from my admirers in land and abroad, their appreciation makes me more serious and responsible.
I was underprivileged, got no chances for education, and formal training in schools, but my books are popular among school, college students and academicians. Its strange to think and dream, it gives me enough pleasure and inspiration to work for people more diligently. I have been honoured officially by Odisha Government and non-government organization. .A prize may recognise my works officially. But I am not expectant, as I believe there are more people like me. Besides, the whole life i spent like a beggar, never could pay my house rent in time, never ever I was able to pay school fees of my children, never ever I wore a good dress and bought a nice thing for my family. and I don,t expect it anymore.
Sorrowing lies here in my land.

All my life I have been loved and honoured by common people for my calm behaviour and my profession art and literature. sorrowing lies in my life I understand this.
recently http://www.freedomtocreateprize.com/default.asp ( Article 19 and its another organisation Artventure ) has made me a featured artist on their website, its a sort of recognition that i am using my talent for humankind for long since 1982, in the field of art and literature.
http://www.freedomtocreateprize.com/featuredartist_Albert_Ashok.asp (this page is no more can be found) I started using my talent in literature and art since 1987, when Tiananman square in China took the souls of democracy loving students, a blood stained chapter created by China Government. On then, I was not so much conscious about world politics. I shed my emotion for human through my poems for the first time. From then on, I started to look for a global peace for struggling common people in land and abroad. This reflect all the years in my works of art and literature. Lets see hand in hand what we can do for the peace and solidarity in this globe.

And I want to be a man of PEACE. No more I dream to become a celebrity, I got more than I expected in my earlier years from this life I did not demand so much love ever. Thank you .
