Indian madness (and an amusing headline cover :)
An amusing newspaper headline from India :) We were reading the continuous news from here of India getting a satellite into orbit around the moon (seriousl hype over here about it) and we found this front-page article. Check out the right-hand side:
DONE
launched lunar mission - 6th nation to do so
became nuclear power this year
permanent base in Antarctica
NOT DONE
become 6th permanent member of UN Security Council
Eradicate Hunger. currently 66th of 88 nations worldwide for hunger index
Spread education. 64% literacy rate
Inspiring what they've done, but eh guys?!?!? 66th in the world (behind Zimbabwe!!!!) for hunger. Maybe it's just me, but are they not missing something....
That is brilliant. Well spotted. Made it to Antartica... but everyone is starving!!
ReplyDeleteWhat crazy humans we are.
It's also interesting that the things on their 'Done' list include in essence the easy things, if you have enough cash and the buy in from a reasonably small number of people. Spreading education and eradicating hunger, on the other hand, require broader and more wide sweeping changes of your society.
ReplyDeleteI hope people take this in the manor it's intended!
ReplyDeleteWhy didn't they put the hungery and in educated on the rocket? Job done all lists clear.
Oh no he didn't
I forgot to mention Neal if you do send something hard in Hampi let me know and I'll write about it on TGU!
