More than 40 per cent of India's 61 million children are malnourished, prompting the prime minister to declare the problem a "national shame".

Connect with 101 East

A recent report reveals that levels are twice that of sub-Saharan Africa, making every third malnourished child in the world an Indian.

India has one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and runs one of the largest child feeding programmes.

But critics say only a fraction of aid reaches the needy.

101 East travels to India and asks what the country is doing to feed its millions.

Coming soon to Ethiopia (if it hasn't already)

The Indian caste system (apartheid system) consists of five main social classes:

The priests (Brahmin), those engaged in scriptural education and teaching,

The warriors, nobles, Kings (kshatriya), those who work in government offices, including administration, law and order, and defense.

The merchants (vaishya), Land-owners. Engage in commercial activity as businessmen.

The peasants (shudra), The servants, work as unskilled laborers.

The Untouchables (dalit), 200 million people. They live a life of poverty, are discriminated against, forced to take the worst jobs available, and are considered outsiders in their own home land. They are treated as if they were inferior to those lucky enough to be born into a higher class status. They are not allowed to go to places where other caste can go to, or to dress the same as them, or to enter the temple, or to draw water from the same well that other caste use. They live in separate communities and are denied education and basic social services. Democracy at its best!

That is scary.No doubt Meles and his TPLF friends think their race is golden ,the rest of us are the untouchables.

Watch the following short documentary film about the "Untouchable" people in India and see how the Indian Edens, Belayneshes, Ye-Banda-Zer's, Adwashes, Bwendimus, etc... who claim to be of the "golden race" treat their subjects.
