<description><![CDATA[Ajai Shankar, former industry secretary, has an excellent suggestion for self-targeting in food - mix wheat flour (atta) with soya flour, raising its protein content but making it less palatable. Richer folk will not eat this, but poor people will. Such protein fortification of atta could help reduce protein deficiency in pregnant women and children.<br/><br/> balaji  * Laissez faire ]]></description>

Inequality before the law will generate additional frustrations among Muslim youth, preparing the ground for the recruitment of new militants by Islamist organisations.
