Book Synopsis Hunger and Famine in Kalahandi: An Anthropological Study by : Mishra
Book excerpt: Hunger and Starvation in Kalahandi: An Anthropological Study argues that starvation despite adequate food resources is a recurring phenomenon. The book focuses on the afflicted, the influence of various factors. It covers a critique of the conventional disaster approach to famine, alternate theoretical framework of famine as a process of gradual socio-economic and biological decline, state-society dynamics involved in the failure of the government to acknowledge the prevalence of persistent starvation in Kalahandi, and, failure to ameliorate the situation.
