 The general public is overwhelmed by hunger.  Eating One time is fasting, there is no income or government assistance.  The sick mother is spending the day in a very miserable state, holding the little girl.  The picture is not from any suburbs, but from the capital, Bhubaneswar, where the family is deprived of basic amenities.  The boy's name is Bidulata.  After losing her husband for six months, the family has been fasting.  Similarly, the family of Vishnu Majhi, a tribal from Ward No. 1 of Sambalpur Metropolitan Corporation, is trapped in a state of hunger.  The stomach is full of salt.  Two handfuls of rice near a handful of rice bronze.  Even after 70 long years of independence, people still don't get a handful of food a day.  Which is pretty worrying.
