It's hard to look at such dire facts and NOT get moved, get disturbed from my fake Stoic stance. My life is luxury and an average Indian is a lot worse in ways I cannot even imagine. I often struggle to get back to being serene and maintain jovial nature.
I plan to read the book and perhaps read these passages to my teen-age daughters, for them to be aware of realities of our cocoon...

Thanks!
Thanks, Ashish.
I have heard a similar comment from many readers.
If my little piece inspires you to read the book - and to share it with your daughters - then I have done a good deed!!
Great piece.
And superb extracts from the book. Thank you. Will pick it up.
