He says that the number of hungry and malnourished people in India has steadily increased since 1991; and he attributes it to liberalization. Unfortunately, thats all that the book says about this issue. Noam Chomsky in his interview/book “Propaganda and the public mind” has an interesting take on what you have spoken.

The best thing that happened to India, through the traumatic reign of the NDA is the understanding that the Congress isn't the only party that matters at the elections. Unfortunate as it may be, the Congress is back to continue what it believed would be economic reforms, till the NDA made a right royal hash of it. Before we flay the Congress for letting the country down the way it did, we should look at the NDA's score in this regard. Eight years is a long time, for reforms to be implemented, and as we know, the most they ever did was bicker amongst themselves. So even though we may hate it, let's give this government a chance to prove that they know what they are doing, without the benefit of knowing that they are invincible.

So chronically hungry means hunger that is persistent and lasting for years. Most of us reading this have never been chronically hungry although every once in a while we do suffer hunger as when we skip a meal because of circumstances not related to a lack of ability to pay for food. Are the numbers reliable? Yes, they are. They are indicative of the magnitude of the problem. So while one can argue whether is is 200 million or is it 180 million, there is no doubt that the true figures are above 100 million and somewhere below 300 million.
