All it took for them to afford the PR mission was decades of ignoring starving children!

Don't worry, India has a caste system so they made sure the "right" kids didn't starve...

The prevalence of Zero-Food in India marginally declined from 20.0% (95% CI: 19.3%–20.7%) in 1993 to 17.8% (95% CI: 17.5%–18.1%) in 2021. There were considerable differences in the trajectories of change in the prevalence of Zero-Food across states. Chhattisgarh, Mizoram, and Jammu and Kashmir experienced high increase in the prevalence of Zero-Food over this time period, while Nagaland, Odisha, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh witnessed a significant decline. In 2021, Uttar Pradesh (27.4%), Chhattisgarh (24.6%), Jharkhand (21%), Rajasthan (19.8%) and Assam (19.4%) were states with the highest prevalence of Zero-Food. As of 2021, the estimated number of Zero-Food children in India was 5,998,138, with the states of Uttar Pradesh (28.4%), Bihar (14.2%), Maharashtra (7.1%), Rajasthan (6.5%), and Madhya Pradesh (6%) accounting for nearly two-thirds of the total Zero-Food children in India. Zero-Food in 2021 was concerningly high among children aged 6–11 months (30.6%) and substantial even among children aged 18–23 months (8.5%). Overall, socioeconomically advantaged groups had lower prevalence of Zero-Food than disadvantaged groups.

Quick edit:

That's weird, you go days without commenting and some of the most recent ones was also downplaying Modi letting lower caste children starve... I'm sure that has nothing to do with the Indian flag in your bio....

Easy block tho, I don't like far right extremists regardless of their country of origin.

Lol what?! When did I? Care to link the comment where I downplayed Modi letting children starve? You're straight up lying now, aren't you?

Aren't you the same guy who said India launching 104 satellites (96 of them were American in fact) in one go made "no logical sense" but was done just for PR? Aren't you also the same guy who said India is not capable of building a linux distro? (My brother in Christ, we just landed a fucking spacecraft on the moon 😂). Your disdain for my country couldn't be more blatant. And of course you had to label me a "far right extremist" for calling out your bullshit
