Good or bad number on the index is a different matter altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post G_B_ Posted October 16, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2019 Actually i looked into this, India has seen a good improvement in score (not rank) in the last year. They have also added a new "climate change" features, whatever that means. 1) They have used india under 5 mortality rate from a decade ago. While for Pakistan have taken the lastest number. As you can see a UN report suggests that there has been a heavy fall in the under 5 mortality rate in India in the last decade. You are also free to look at the difference between India and Pakistan in the link below. Under 5 mortality rate accounts for 1/3 of the total marks. https://www.indiaspend.com/indias-under-5-mortality-now-matches-global-average-but-bangladesh-nepal-do-better/ 2) The inflation rate in Pakistan is 12% and food inflation is currently touching 20%. Be honest do you think that hunger in Pakistan is truly better than India with such high inflation? Food inflation after monsoons wiped out a lot of crops grown in India is touching 5%. Who do you think has it worse? The global hunger index is packed full of left leaning Indians and even had an india specific map ranking the states. Even in that states rules by the BJP were given lower rank based on old data. I actually emailed the creator of said map and she told me : "We did not have verifiable stats" whatever that means. someone, Real McCoy, Gollum and 7 others 2 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_B_ Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Its not just the global hunger index. I have noticed a lot of these international poverty pimps for eg continue to take our literacy rate as 74% based on the 2010 figure available in 2011 rather than taking the 2019 estimate of 81%. Its this sort of data fudging to lower India's rank which is endemic in academia and results fundamentally from these left leaning academics that we seem to have in India and export to the west.

What india and indians everywhere should focus on is to look inwards get better and filter the bull ****.

G_B_ Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 it will take a generation to eliminate these lefties parasites from within, Their new agenda is to penalize India on "climate change". Personally i do feel that India needs to be more environmentally friendly. But these people will see to it that they shame India wherever possible.

They control the methodology and thus set the narrative. Ultimately, India needs to create its own formula, and rank other countries on its terms...

G_B_ Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Some other points (a) states such as Chhattisgrah MP (tribal belt within state) Jharkhand Bihar and UP and Odisha which contain 33% of our people have been a black spot for India for close to 2 decades in terms of social indicators. If India is to improve on any number of social statistics there need to be determined focus on these states.The state which has heavily improved is Chhattisgrah (poverty rates still high but declining fast) and the primary reason is Raman singh. While Rajasthan and WB have seen healthy improvements. Jharkhand and eastern UP this is very low. This uneven reduction suggests that poverty reduction remains primarily a state oriented endeavor. If India is to eliminate poverty and improve it needs good CMs. (b) Seriously, comparing Nepal and BD two much smaller states with India? Just to keep in mind that BD has a higher gdp ppp per capita than 25% of India which resides in UP bihar Jharkhand assam etc. BD is also less than half of states like Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil nadu. the illustrative point is that there is a large degree of standard deviation between states in India. Bangladesh has done well. But it is a compressed smaller geographic unit. The statistics of BD do not compare well with West bengal. (c) Tribals outside the north east are where the statistics for social indicators are abysmal. There is an issue of India whereby many tribal communities just do not believe in infant care due to beliefs despite medical aid being available. This requires more a case of persuasion rather than throwing money at the problem. (d) UN stats are more reliable than any think tanks. Social sciences are imperfect in terms of the precision of data. The Global Hunger Index is produced by IFPRI https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Food_Policy_Research_Institute Their ranks are packed with JNU, TISS etc alumni https://www.ifpri.org/profile-offices/ifpri-new-delhi Consequently India's rank has been fudged under the Modi regime by taking convenient data points..... It should be noted that the actual score of India has seen decent improvement from 2015 onwards. So not even they can fudge states to that degree. maniac, Gollum, sergio04 and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally i do feel that India needs to be more environmentally friendly. But these people will see to it that they shame India wherever possible. Climate change is a scam. Even people in western countries have called it a scam. Al Gore and Leo Dicaprio talk about it while living in million dollar mansions with central heating says a lot about it. Al Gore when confronted about it refused to answer and got aggressive about it. These sickulars are bringing the same to India and draining our prana. What they want is to drain more money in the name of "climate change". Environmentally friendly starts with the govt and the big corporations. In Chennai, they have banned plastic for consumer bags as city workers found it hard to collect it and dispose it. But they haven't banned plastic wrappers for dhal, rice and other produce and plastic containers for coke pepsi. When I was a child, I remember getting produce in newspaper bundles and sodas in glass bottles. The corporates found it cheaper to use plastic (which is dangerous to humans) and now they are taking it back and trying to tax the working people now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
