- When the history of our times is written, unarguably one of its greatest crimes would be that despite unprecedented plenty, millions of our children still have to sleep hungry. The essays in this volume suggest with rigour and compassion that it does not have to be this way. — Harsh Mander, Special Commissioner to the Supreme Court of India in the Writ Petition (Civil) No. 196 filed before the Supreme Court on 2001, by the People’s Union for Civil Liberty (PUCL), Rajasthan known as the ‘right to food’ case.
