	One of the responses to the silly, racist
"cow-worship-causes-poverty" article sought to explain hunger in India
by the equally racist "overpopulation" myth.
	In fact, the population density (people/km^2) is LOWER in India
than in Great Britain, India's principal imperialist opressor.  But we
don't hear about "overpopulation" in Britain!
	Poverty in India and other semi-colonial countries is not
caused by some failing on the part of the people there.  It is caused
by years of imperialist domination, which has resulted in enforced
economic backwardness.
