The Legacy of Mao Zedong is Mass Murder

“The main point about Mao is that for long after he knew there was a famine, he refused to introduce policies that would eliminate the crisis,” Thurston.

You know its weird that they say famine in China is mass murder. Then famine in India also mass murder by British. Famine is bad, is a sign time for revolution. Chinese were tired of war, Mao had the responsibility to prevent another one and it didn't happen. Easy for Europeans to say when they have America and Europe landmass to feed their population.

Half of Indian children under age of 5 suffer from malnutrition today, so Indian government currently is mass murdering their children.

So, you comparing British rule in India with communism in China. Yes, British are criticized and hated for the things they did here during colonial era.

Didn't see much complaint here in this forum.

Unlike your hate against Japanese, we hadn't made it a matter of national identity by hating Brits. Why you think we discuss it here when there is hardly any Brit here who wants to talk about the colonial rule in India.

Genocide is never an good option.At first it may look like it is working but overtime the bloody ghosts of the the past will surely come to haunt you.No empire in the history of the world ever lasted by killing its subject.
Chinese even exported genocide to Cambodia.

In his last years , young girls were fed to him to rekindle carnal desire and long life' Yet he died- a great blessing for China. Mao's successor was able to rebuilt the country to what it is today- a land if high speed rails

Indian friend, instead of talking (falsely) about China's past, think and talk about India's present.

With this mentality, you will forever stay as a backward, dirty, stinky, unhygienic, and malnourished India with countless other social diseases. A friendly advice.

A United Nations report on hunger and malnutrition in India says millions of Indians still suffer from chronic undernourishment and severe micronutrient malnutrition, especially women and children and people belonging to lower castes.

The numbers of hungry people have increased in the past decade, with foodgrain-availability falling to 152 kg per capita, 23 kg less than in the 1990s.

The level of child malnutrition in India is among the highest in the world, higher even than some countries in sub-Saharan Africa, says the report ‘Extent of Chronic Hunger and Malnutrition in India’ by the UN’s special rapporteur on the right to food. The report was presented to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on September 22, 2006.

On child malnutrition in India the report says:

Nearly 2 million children die every year as a result of serious malnutrition and preventable diseases.
Nearly half suffer from moderate or severe malnutrition.
47% of children are underweight, and 46% stunted in their growth.
Malnutrition is most severe among children in rural areas, but it is also high in urban areas.
Nearly a third of children (30%) are born underweight, which means that their mothers too are underweight and undernourished. Malnutrition also increases during early childhood, particularly among girls.
Vitamin A deficiencies, particularly blindness, as well as iodine disorders have been recorded among children in hundreds of districts.

The report says that according to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), more than 200 million Indians eat less than the daily minimum calorie requirement. But the Indian government’s own statistics suggest that many more -- 53% of the population -- are undernourished.

Other key findings of the report:

The poorest 30% of households eat less than 1,700 kilocalories per day, per person (the international minimum standard is 2,100 kilocalories per day), even though they spend 70% of their income on food.
More than 80% of women, infants and adolescent girls suffer from anaemia, and iron intake is estimated to be below 50% of the recommended daily requirement.
The hungry and malnourished are primarily children and adults living in rural areas and are dependent on agriculture, working as casual workers but also as sharecroppers and tenant or marginal farmers with less than 1 hectare of land.
Agricultural wages are very low and increasingly precarious; minimum wages are not always enforced and many people lack work during the agricultural lean season.
In some states, feudalistic patterns of land ownership persist, despite its legal abolition.
The benefits of economic growth since the 1990s have not been felt equally; the better-off western and southern states have been doing better than the poorer northern and eastern states.
The increasingly market-oriented economy has not helped get the poorest out of poverty, and has only benefited the middle and upper classes.
The focus on an export-oriented economy has seen a shift from subsistence to cash crops. Thus, the cultivation of grain, pulses and millet for household consumption has gone down. At the same time, cash crops require more expensive inputs in terms of seeds and fertiliser. This has pushed many farmers into debt resulting in a large number of farmer suicides.

Government interventions in this area have not been very successful. The Tenth Five-Year Plan (2002-2007) includes the prevention, detection and management of micronutrient malnutrition, but studies by the Indian Council of Medical Research have shown that national nutrition goals have not been met.

1.It is not correct to judge great leaders with isolated deeds, achievements or even negative work.The leaders entire life must be considered and considered in the context of contemporary events. Human history has seen few like Chairman Mao who was able to pull an entire population out of suffering, misery, slavery and abject poverty.

2.In that sense what about Gandhi-Nehru? By forcing Partition they caused millions of deaths. The exodus of millions from their homes and the accompanying human misery remains unparalleled in history. .
