China vs. India:

Westerners seem dumbfounded that the world's largest democracy could be starving nearly half of its children to death. According to New York Times, some 42.5 percent of India's children under the age of five suffer from malnutrition. The comparable number for China's children is only 7 percent. While The Times' article examines the numbers and reports on the horrors of malnourished women and children in India, it says little about the difference between the two cultures. Their histories are vastly different, reflecting the values of any governing group.

It should be noted that The Times' story makes it relatively clear that India's problem does not stem from a lack of food, but from a will to properly care for its citizens.
