Poverty, Hunger Greatest Problems
Confronting India And Pakistan
By DeWITT MacKENZIE
AP roralfn Alfiln Analyst
When Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru was asked by
small New York schoolgirl what his country's worst problem Is, ha
replied with hesitation:
"Poverty. We must have food for our people."
There In eight plain worda Neh
ru summed up the paramount
task he faces as leader of In
dia's three hundred millions. No
evasion; no effort to glosss over
a situation which men of smaller
caliber might have found embar
rassing on their first visit to a
foreign land. Just a blunt admis
sion of a tragic fact.
India's greatest burden is stark
hunger, due to poverty. The same
can be said of her sister state of
Pakistan with its population of
100,000.000. It Is no exaggeration
to say that the majority of the
people In the vast Indian subcon
tinent always are hungry. And
of course, the plague of hunger
haunts China and other oriental
lands. The western world doesn't
know the half of the trials of the
east.
About 70 percent of the 400.000,-
000 people In India and Pakistan
are dependent on agriculture,
and the average farming family
doesn't get enough to eat. The
farmers struggle with antiquat
ed methods on land which has
been worn out through countless
generations of tillage.
I have visited much In Indian
villages and found condition ap
paling. No Sanitation In Huts
The homes are little mud huts,
which are fearfully dirty and
have no sanitation. Probably
there Isn't even a single "back,
house" of that sturdy type known
to the western world. Cowdung,
gathered by the women with their
hands, is plastered on the outside
walls of the hura to dry for fuel.
Human beings and animals live
pretty much together. There are
few watches or clocks. The mem
bers of the family probably go to
bed in the dark because their
only lights, If any, are open dish
es with oil and wick, such as used
for thousands of years.
Amidst all this awful squalor,
death and birth do their rounds
and the one who dies is lucky.
Doctors They are mostly sari
hus, or spirit doctors, who work
their "cures" through incanta
tions and other weird practices.
Whether you live or whether you
die Is a matter of luck.
And these poor people always
are hungry. You can see It In
their faces and starved bodies.
Hosts of them have only one meal
a day and that consists of gruel
made from a little grain.
So there you have some of the
sordid story.
Naturally conditions In the
towns and cities are better,
though there is much poverty and
consequent u n d e r-nourlshment
among them.
As Nehu says, this poverty ii
his greatest problem, just as it is
the greatest problem of India's
sister state of Pakistan. Its solu
tion la the foundation on which he
must build the new and indepen
dent India.
What are his chances of suc
cess in this great undertaking?
As the signs read he will go far.
I have spent a good deal of
time traveling about the penin
sula during the past 33 years,
and India. Is on the move. She
has made tremendous strides this
last generation.
Cloves were such an expensive
luxury to western civilization at
one time that the ships of explor
er Ferdinand Magellan sold
cargo of them for more than the
cost of a three-year expedition.
