Children, men and women, across the continent are dying of starvation because of unequal distribution of benefits of so called `development that has resulted in income disparities, accentuated inequalities in power structure, unequal opportunities and asymmetrical distribution of resources 15 . Hunger, in this continent occurs not because of lack of availability or low production of food or because of increase in consumption due to population explosion, rather, hunger, here is a result of inequalities that is making a deep impact and marginalizing people. Enormous surplus of food is available and yet millions are starving because of adoption of neoliberal policies by the nations across South Asia 16 . It may therefore be concluded that hunger is a major manmade disaster.
