The writers have attempted to justify that the Global Hunger Index is flawed as three of the four indicators used to measure hunger are focussed on children less than five (“A misleading hunger index”, December 4).

When we are able to celebrate Moody’s outlook on the Indian economy, why are we unable to assimilate someone pointing a finger at our social indicators?
