The Global Hunger Index Report, 2014 indicates that the hunger is highest in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia and the irony is that it is more rampant among people who are the producers of food. The report also noted that the 'hidden hunger' or the deficiency of micro-nutrients, is much prevalent in Africa, South of the Sahara and the South Asian Continent. In the 21st century when the civilization boasts of its technology, development, and fast paced advancements why so many people are starving? Does hunger persists due to famine, flood or other natural disasters or is it a manmade disaster? Is hunger a part of larger agricultural crisis that is aggravating farmer suicides and causing starvation deaths across the continent? Why after decades of independence, people in South Asia are hungry? What is the role of state in providing food to its starving citizens? This essay looks at the issue of hunger in South Asia and examines the manner in which ordinary people are fighting against it. It argues that hunger is manmade phenomenon and is inextricably linked to ecological imbalance created due to faulty policies adopted by the governments across the continent. To combat hunger the need is to create an alternate paradigm which focus on food sovereignty, decentralized decision making and control of people rather than markets over production, distribution and consumption of food. The right to food must be comprehensively construed to address the structural roots of hunger.

Hungry Kya? (Are you Hungry?) This wide spread pseudo language phrase has been floating around in electronic, print and digital media besides being projected on bill boards across South Asia. The advertiser while using this phrase along with the image of a slice of a pizza invites the attention of a section of population to the culture of consumption. However, this symbol of modernity strongly contradicts with the images from the other part of the continent which is starving and dying of hunger. Recently, I came across the Report on the Global Hunger Index (GHI) 2014 which scrutinized the state of hunger in 120 countries. On the basis of multidimensional statistical analysis, it claims that 55 of these countries are in abysmal conditions with respect to hunger. The report estimates that 805 millions are suffering from chronic hunger while 2 billion people are afflicted with hidden hunger, that is, the deficiency of micronutrients, all over the world. According to this report, the continents of Africa and South Asia have the highest level of hunger. The GHI ranks India at 55th position, Bangladesh and Pakistan at 57th position, Nepal at 44th and Sri Lanka at 39th position. In this context when I see this tagline Hungry Kya?, I feel the urge of reframing it to Hunger Kya Hai? (What is hunger from the perspective of a hungry person?) Hungry kaun? (Who are Hungry?) Hungry Kyun aur Kaise? (Why and how hunger persists in South Asia in spite of accelerating economic growth?) In this article, I attempt to look at the microcosmic reality and macrocosmic facts relating to hunger in South Asia.
