Dr. Binayak Sen spoke recently (19th Jan 2012) at Sixth Henry Volken memorial lecturer, Bangalore. Firstly he spoke on the shocking socio-economic conditions of the poor in India and the callous attitude of the government – the death in North Bengal of 9 people due to starvation: a forty year old pregnant women denied admission in two government hospitals & only to deliver the twin babies on the streets; Sharad Pawar statement on Right to Food Security Bill “We cannot take responsibility to feed every mouth” & finally the PM statement on 42% malnourishment in children as “national shame”.
