Muhammad Javed Iqbal's allusion to "Jewish-American" is sheer bigotry.
But South Asian countries are indeed among the hungriest. Here's a
list of South Asian countries by percentage of population suffering
from undernourishment:
Country - Percentage suffering undernourishment in 2001-2003
Bangladesh - 30
Pakistan - 23
Sri Lanka - 22
India - 20
Nepal - 17
Myanmar - 6

Wikipedia is a totally unreliable souce; anybody can post anything
there. As a matter
of fact 87.6% of Indian population lives below poverty line and thus
is hungry and I have
proved this fact in this forum umpteen times. Pakistan is by far the
best placed country
in South Asia, because it has the largest irrigation system in the
world and has been
fortunate enough to have continuous rains, whereas India, Bangladesh,
Sri Lanka, China
and Iran all have a spell of drought since last 3 years.

why do you want to prove repeatedly to the whole world that Pakis
like you are very low in education. Wikipedia generally mentions
the source.
This is mentioned in the page
"This is a list of countries by percentage of population suffering
from undernourishment, as defined by the United Nations World Food
Programme and the UN Food and Agriculture Organization in its "The
State of Food Insecurity in the World" 2006 report.
"
Next at the bottom of the page you can see this
"External links
Source: FAO: The State of Food Insecurity in the World 2006
Source: FAO Statistics Division
Source: United Nations World Food Programme - World Hunger Map
"
I followed the link and downloaded the pdf report. It is 100% right.
Yes I know you suffer from dyslexia the moment you see anything
showing Pakistan poorly, but that is the fact, not what you want
to believe.
for your convenience, I am emailing you the pdf report. After you
finish praying to your useless allah, you can read that.

I have proved many times in this forum that 98% of Pakis are
illiterate
and hungry. It is called proof by insistence.
ps: check for my pdf in your mail box.

Indians are shy to accept the facts. They try to evade reality by
quoting, stale, outdated and often
irrelevant figures. The FACTS ARE REFLECTED IN WFO'S LATEST 2009
REPORT and not in
outdated 2001 figures quoted by you. Look what the world food
organization is saying about India:
http://www.wfp.org/countries/india
Nearly 50 percent of the world's hungry live in India, a low-income,
food-deficit country.
Around 35 percent of India's population - 350 million - are considered
food-insecure, consuming less than 80 percent of minimum energy
requirements.
Nutritional and health indicators are extremely low. Nearly nine out
of 10 pregnant women aged between 15 and 49 years suffer from
malnutrition and anaemia.
Anaemia in pregnant women causes 20 percent of infant mortality. More
than half of the children under five are moderately or severely
malnourished, or suffer from stunting.

link he has provided.
This is taken from the link you provided:

(% of total pop.) 20
Now let us look at the beloved NApakistan
http://www.wfp.org/countries/pakistan Population undernourished (%
of total pop.) 24
So the link you provided, that itself shows that 24% of napakis are
undernourished compared to 20% of India. So who is right, you or me?
And you call yourself MA in Economics. Looks like degrees are thrown
from balcony in Karachi and one can call himself whatever he catches

There is no question that India fares poorly in hunger. In fact very
poor.
But we are not debating that. The real point is that Pakistan is even
worse and pakis keep deluding that they are much better than india,
as if that is the only way they can justify the creation of the
country.

difficulty in understanding simple economics. They take figures of
their choice and leave the rest and are so shamelsess as to question
education of others.
Year 2009 figures which I sent show a 47% under nourishment of Indian
children compared to 38% of Pakistani children. So Pakistani children
are substantially better off from their Indian counterparts, a
difference of 9%. Whereas Pakistan is only 4% behind India in respect
of overall malnourishment. Still the Indian bozos think, they have a
shining economy.
Do not forget that 50% of world's hungry live in India, a wasteland
of slums.

Let us assume that that poverty in South Asian Islamic Paradises,
Pakistan, B'desh and Afghanistan is slightly less worse than India.
Then the question arises as to why do the citizen of these Islamic
paradises are leaving these paradises and migrate to a nation
inhabited by "stupid Hindus, who still worship snakes, monkeys and
trees", rather than staying in their own nation where pedophile, mass
murderering polygamist Beduoine thug is the persona of a perfect man?
Incidentally, all evidence suggest that people worshipping aspect of
nature, and not just snakes, monkeys and trees but also rivers
(Ganga), mountains (Kailash) and stones, make far better, happier and
contented individuals than those who spend endless time buttlifting in
a general direction of black meteorite.

when were children under the discussion. nkdatta clearly mentioned %
of
population undernourished. so why restrict to only children. so that
pak
is shown better. Stupid Paki, children and whole population are not
mutually
exclusive. children are a subset of total population. so for the
overall poverty
taking only children makes less sense than taking all.
Anyhow good to see that you are admitting that pak is worse than
indian
in overall poverty. shall I take it as an acknowlegement that your
often
quoted figure of 87.5% of indian below poverty line is an islamic gas.
>Still the Indian bozos think, they have a shining economy.
india shining was an election slogan of BJP. No one stopped Pakis
from claiming that their economy is radiating (pun intended). That is
when their society produces enough doctors and engineers to earn
the name like Indians.
May be next year Intel R & D Labs Karachi (ha ha ha, Karachi brings
only halwa
in mind, not Silicon Valley) designs next 8 core chip.
or Pak sends an unmanned mission to Moon (their rasool has supposedly
traveled on a horse to masterbate with allah).
then Pakis earn the right to claim "radiating economy".
until then just feel envious of india's success and lift your butt 5
times
in the direction of mecca.

Janab Eik Ball, economics is beyond a chaprasi, particularly if he has
worked for a Saudi master. Please try to ponder over a simpler
question. Asmaa's chuut is hungry for lunds of Ali, Farooq and Bilal.
And lunds of Ali, Farooq and Bilal are hungry for Asmaa's chuut. Which
hunger matters more? Or do they all pale into insignificance when
compared to Eik Ball's hunger for money that prompts him to pimp for
Asmaa's chuut and Ali's, Farooq's and Bilal's gand?
