The Rural India That Gets Missed
Violet WoolfWhat the rural Indian reality looks like and what the coverage misses
|The Gap
The rural India that the English-language coverage of India consistently misses: the 65 percent of the Indian population that lives in rural areas and whose specific economic reality, specific social change, and specific political preferences are the majority Indian experience that the English-language media whose coverage shapes the international understanding of India is structurally ill-equipped to cover.
The Reality
The specific rural Indian reality that the coverage gap produces: the agricultural distress whose farmers suicide data documents; the specific rural health infrastructure whose absence the maternal and infant mortality data reflects; and the specific local governance quality whose variation across India districts is the most significant variable in determining the specific development outcomes that the rural Indian household experiences.
