Here is one of the reasons why I found, and still continue to find, India an extremely frustrating country. This article just made me mad. Most of the malnourised people in India are women and children, especially female children. If there is food, it almost always goes to the men and boys first because of the cultural bias towards men. Therefore, the Indian government is punishing the most marginalized people in their society with this policy and decision.

I guess they haven't heard the term "don't look a gift horse in the mouth!" It's very appalling what they do to their people.
