The starvation deaths of Shivpuri
60% of the children in Madhya Pradesh are malnourished. The figure itself is damning but in villages in Shivpuri where the Sehariya tribes live, one can see why India's indicators for infant and maternal health are worse than those in conflict ridden Sub-Saharan Africa. Last year, 23 infants died of starvation in Shivpuri alone.
