Ranen Kumar Goswami Wrote to JUSTIFY
his own not- too-well-chosen
career:
""Eminent economist Amartya Sen, who is also
a keen observer of the socio-political developments around the globe,[ He
loves Observing and Sermonizing?:] says|:
No substantial
famine has ever occurred in
any independent country with a
democratic form of government and a relatively free Press. ""
Too many riders for a theorizer!!!
I have
following to ask :
·
What is a famine?
·
Do/can Assamese individuals including Ranen K G eat daily 1Kg
Fruits,1litre milk, 200g meat ,2 eggs 1947>>2012
In an address
delivered at the general assembly of the International Press Institute in New
Delhi on January 29, 2001, he said: ?
Consider,
for? example, the Chinese famine of 1958-61, in
which between 23 and 30 million people died.
And he did not mention the death toll in Tangshan Earthquake---==20
Million Killed at one district 1976??
Despite
the fact that the ChineseGovernment was quite committed to eliminating
hunger in the country, it did not
substantially revise its disastrous policies (associated with the ill-advised
Great Leap Forward) during the three famine years.
DID CIA Wrote his script??
We never heard of such a
famine in China.
I was in a FREE
Press country -
UK in ‘58>’61
In China
Grain is fed only to Pigs .
?????????
The Nobel-recipient economist further points out that a similar story can be
seen
in other major famines, which include the Soviet famines of the? 1970s,
· In 70’s
I was in USSR— Felt No famine there !!!AND IN KOLKATA there was ban on
Rice movements -Guest Control Act -Naxalism all over.
One more view here—written by another Nobel
Prize Winner:

End of story:
Learn facts with lots of Science and research-- and ONLY THEN go on to
write something .Not JUST SOMETHING.
