Fantastic read. Really interesting and heartbreaking at the same time.

Is there a scheme to provide a family with a cooker? Much like Oxfam has its "buy a village a X" scheme.

It seems wars impact those who have nothing to do with it on similar scales to those directly involved, often those in LEDCs. It's times like these with such shortages we realise how much we rely on the accessibility to import and export goods affordably.

Excellent reporting. These are the details that hardly ever get discussed, yet millions are truly affected. It is heartbreaking!

This is great reporting, Vijayta. People living in India have some localized understanding of this grave situation, but you've laid it out very clearly to capture the big picture. Well done.

Excellent reporting offering a glimpse into the increasingly difficult lives of India’s many daily wage earners.
