Child poverty in US among the highest in developed world
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2013/04/18/pove-a18.html
Britishers made the movie "Slumdog Millionaire" to highlight the fate of children of India living in poverty.

Poverty is to be counted not in terms of total figures, but as a percentage. The population of India is estimated to be 1.27 billion in 2013. The unofficial figure is some 2.1 billion. You know the population figures of USA and UK.
Is it philosophical mockery or what?
You should also compare land areas of USA and India. Please note that India is the largest democratic country in the world.
Answer
Hello,
When you say that the population of India is estimated to be 1,27 billion, but that the unofficial figure is about 2,1 billion, it only gives weight to one of my fears (and presumably of many others) - the undercovering of the true world population. The world population of about 7,1 billion people surely is not right. There must be a lot more people living in our planet, since there is no possible way to keep track of the absurdly high growth rate in most parts of Africa and the Middle-East.
http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/
But let's suppose there are "only" 7 billion people on Earth. This is already quite a lot, just you watch this page:
http://www.7billionworld.com/
I agree that there must be some kind of "philosophical mockery" behind these figures. It almost seems like some organizations such are trying to hide some shocking truth.
But why? I can think of a reason. This is a way to hide some preocupying topics, such as poverty. The population in America is about 315 million, and the percentage of poverty might seem little, but when seen in practice is quite high.
Poverty is a clear consequence of overpopulation, thanks to the Industrial Revolution. And trying to fight poverty will only improve human life. But this means the human populaion will grow even more which will lead to more poverty...
http://econosystemics.com/AphetaBlog/?p=9
This overpopulation is directly related with a mass consumption, which gravely affects sustentability. When I talk about sustentability, I'm referring to the possibility to live in harmony with other living beings and with planet Earth. But more and more this sustenatbility is decreasing. But what can be done? We cannot really prevent the population growth. I heard somebody say that wars and plagues are responsible for sustaining the world human population. But paradoxically our efforts are to erradicate those calamities...
Please don't get me wrong. In my opinion, I think it is very noble of the human being to try to stop wars and plagues, because, in my view, the massive lost of human lives is unecessay. But it is also true that we must not be egocentrical - that is to say, we should respect our fellow living beings, and look to ways to create a sustainable world.
Another counter-balance is that we shouldn't think of the human population as numbers. Each and everybody is unique, and when somebody says that the human population should be shorter on some billions, it is the same as saying that you should eliminate "some billions" of unique people.
This is such an important point you've mentioned. The philoshopy behind human population and sustentability/poverty.. I think more people should be interested in these kind of topics, because this is important for everybody.
I'm sorry if my answer wasn't as clear or detailed as you might have expected, but this is a very deep topic that requires a lot of time to think, which I sadly don't dispose. But, nevertheless, I hope it helped.

Do you think that Ganguly is anti Dhoni & for what reasons?
T J
I have seen Ganguly trying to brazenly attack Dhoni, since he is an ex-cricketer, like some overseas big mouths.
He has come out saying some unkind things about Dhoni, i.e. Dhoni's hand in Sehwag's ouster from the team for the last 2 Tests against Aus.
http://cricket.yahoo.com/news/ganguly-sees-dhoni-s-hand-in-sehwag-s-exclusion-062019574.html;_ylt=ArQwypquEcfFuUVpjIvo1f9_H6N4;_ylu=X3oDMTRwczMyOWZoBG1pdANNaXhlZCBJdGVtcyBDYXJvdXNlbCBOZXcgSG9tZXBhZ2UEcGtnA2Y3YjY3YTBhLWZlNTQtMzFjNy04NmM3LWQxNDhmMjk3M2VmNQRwb3MDMgRzZWMDTWVkaWFCQ2Fyb3VzZWxNaXhlZExQQ0EEdmVyA2IwODUwOGYxLTg5NGEtMTFlMi05ZWNmLWQ1NDE0N2ZmNjVjMA--;_ylg=X3oDMTFpMzQyOTkxBGludGwDaW4EbGFuZwNlbi1pbgRwc3RhaWQDBHBzdGNhdANob21lBHB0A3NlY3Rpb25z;_ylv=3
Why is he trying to politicize an issue, where the batsman himself is to be blamed for failing to grab the opportunities on offer.
Next if Harbhajan is made to sit out of the Mohali Test, since he hasn't done anything of note. Pitch is also supposed to help fast bowlers, would he see Dhoni's hand behind Harbhajan's apt ouster from the playing XI.
Why should any Captain, in the middle of a very important series try to accommodate a passenger, however great he is. What would Ganguly, as a Captain have done in Dhoni's place ?
If you remember he has previously tried to hit out at Dhoni, without success. Is he jealous or what or is he trying to prove any sore points against Dhoni. Pl share your views & any info, as I have come across few things said b/w these two but don't have any evidence.
BQ: Should D.Fletcher be given contract extension or BCCI should try someone else, as they have a chance to recruit, for some fresh ideas & who are your candidates for this job ?
I know that team India hasn't exactly helped his cause during his tenure but is he proving to be too laid back, like Dhoni, who has tried to change his ways off late ?
Edit-- Got to agree with CJ & Adarsh, this is the other side of this argument. Those were the legends of team India, not too long ago & even Tendulkar faced a threat but being beyond Chappell & Dhoni alliance, he has shown his worth since.
Sehwag or any other great player can stick around in the team, if they carry on with their form & runs/wickets. Even Harbhajan faced Dhoni's wrath but Ganguly should notice Sehwag's form, his age & what India is going to face outside. If Sehwag is failing so badly at home, don't see him doing wonders overseas but hoping of his return fast enough, as he is a gem of a batsman but on song only.
I also think that Dhoni's tenure has seen lots of success & he inherited a great team from Ganguly.
Even in work situation, I have seen new bosses break the established teams, which were doing well but were not gelling well with the new team leader, hence established greats/good workers lost out to the new leader, who brought in like minded or towing the line kind of good players.
No wonder Dhoni is now surrounded by Jadeja, RP,Rohit & other youngsters, who would thank Dhoni for their careers later, when they would retire. So can't really fault Dhoni, as long as his wards keep on pulling team India out of trouble, not only at home but away as well, Dhoni's undoing in Eng & Aus, from which he is yet to recover.
Answer
Sehwag/Harbhajan are under the shadow of poor form since THREE years, Its generosity of Dhoni that Sehwag played so long without doing anything significant in the team and Harbhajan is still getting chances.
_____________________
SEHWAG 's average
Year 2011 - 29.53
Year 2012 - 31.56
Year 2013 - 9.00
Why he should be selected ?
Why oh Why ?
_____________________
HARBHAJAN 's average
Year 2011 - 38.05
Year 2012 - 42.00
Year 2013 - 40.80
Why he should be selected ?
Why oh Why ?

If Sehwag/Harbhajan cant perform on home grounds, how they can be supposed to do well in South Africa. Because of this Harbhajan, the highest recent wicket taker Ojha is warming the bench. We cant launch a youngster directly on the land of South Africa, we should give them experience of one-two test matches.
_____________________
Summary is, Ganguly wants to save the places of poor-performers in the team, because in the last phase of his own career he was poor performer too. It may seem weird, buts its reality.

But if only Sourav has some problems with MSD, its not the fault of MSD indeed.
One can easily judge the change in the tune of Sourav, since MSD has broken the record of Sourav's most test wins. Surely that is hurting Sourav.
