Poverty and vulnerability to storms.

The author’s thesis is about when natural disasters happens, poor people are more likely to be killed. According to the author, “In India, Cyclone Phailin in 2013 caused 38 deaths, a vast improvement from the 10,000 deaths resulting from a similar storm in 1999. Poor people, especially in developing countries, are particularly vulnerable to storms. They deserve better protection. ”

With this information, I could say that when the storm come, having money and housing helps you survive, and many people in India do not have these things.

By: Sinha et al., 2009

In the text, the author’s thesis is number of malnourished children may be more then current estimate. the support for the text, “In Table 2, we see that underweight includes children in groups C, D, E and Y but misses those in groups B and F (13% of children in the sample); stunting misses groups B, C and Y (15% of children in the sample); and wasting misses those children in groups E, F and Y (44% of children).”

Group                                                                       Number of children

A (no failure)                                                              9 806 (40.2)
B (wasting only)                                                        630 (2.6)
C (wasting and underweight)                                       1 489 (6.1)
D (wasting, stunting and underweight)                   1 756 (7.2)
E (stunting and underweight)                                6 801 (27.9)
F (stunting only)                                                      2 467 (10.1)
Y (underweight only)                                                 1 447 (5.9)
Total 24 396

This information help me to showed that more children come from the poor family are malnourished and that number is greater than we thought, the government didn’t care much about it because the children is come from the poor family.

Effects of Poverty in India: Between Injustice and Exclusion

A famous resources

In this text, the author thesis is the Government doesn’t care about the poor people in India and how to solve the poverty problem. According to the author, “India spends only 1% of its GDP on health care.”

• 50% of Indians don’t have proper shelter;
• 70% don’t have access to decent toilets (which inspires a multitude of bacteria to host their own disease party);
• 35% of households don’t have a nearby water source;
• 85% of villages don’t have a secondary school (how can this be the same government claiming 9% annual growth?);
• Over 40% of these same villages don’t have proper roads connecting them.

With this data, I could prove that the government didn’t care much about the poor people.  It could do so much more for its people.

India, Poverty and The Economist.

Famous Sources By:  Atanu Dey

The author’s thesis in this text is India is poor because of government action/inaction. According to the author, ” It’s the rules and regulations that Indians in India labor under that is the primary cause of India’s lack of progress. These “licence, control, permit, quota” rules and regulations originate in the British colonial era, which were made for the benefit of the British government and for the purposes of ruling a colonized people. Those did not change after 1947. ”

I think this sources could help me to show that government ignore the poor people, they did not give the poor people the opportunity to have a job and feed their children.  There is little change from free India and British controlled India.

The poorest of the poor: a poverty appraisal of households affected by visceral leishmaniasis in Bihar, India.

By: Boelaert et al., 2009

The author’s thesis was that “Visceral leishmanisis (a kind of disease) clearly affects the poorest of the poor in India. According to the author: “Components Analysis and the distribution of this asset index for the VL communities was compared with that of the general population of Bihar. Results 83% of households in communities with high VL attack rates belonged to the two lowest quintiles of the Bihar wealth distribution. All socio-economic indicators showed significantly lower wealth for those households.”

I think this sources could help me prove that poor people are disposable by saying that you are more likely to be affected by this disease if you are poor. So people can see the distance between poor people and rich people.
