Nelson forgot to mention that this article appeared originally in the 
New York Times and is available online at (warning: long URL):

http://www.nytimes.com/2002/12/02/international/asia/02FARM.html?ei=5040&en=fa98b0c2b9d93f31&ex=1039496400&partner=MOREOVER
 
The online article has a link to a slideshow titled 'In India, Hunger Amid 
Plenty' and to a related article titled 'Once a Close Economic Rival of 
China, India Falls Behind' - both very valuable reads. It also
has data and graphs showing the percentage of malnourished children
in India (47% in 1999) and the increase in wheat and rice surplus
over the past few years (58.1 metric tons of surplus in 2002).
