Small is a relative term. And in the case of Mauthausen, it was a small concentrationcamp. It was your run-of-the-mill hell incarnate for Jews and outcasts. More than130,000 people lost their lives here. This camp is famous for its stairs of death onwhich emaciated prisoners were forced to carry 3050 kg granite rocks over andover again, despite many of them weighing around 45 kg.If you fell and were maimed, rendered unable to work you were usually executedfairly shortly thereafter. Or you were left in prison to suffer for a few days first. Therewere countless horrifying games that guards played with prisoners, the details ofwhich I wont get into here.At the end of the war, as the camps were liberated, they began cleaning out andinspecting Mauthausen. One inspector was patrolling through the dark andshadowed cells of Block C, an area where nearly all who entered either died or leftonly to attend their own execution.Inside of one cell, he found, scratched on the wall: If there is a God, he willhave to beg for my forgiveness.The line sent a chill down my arm. It brought the image of a God on his knees,begging for his life, about to be murdered by one of his own creations. It is importantto remember lines like this. Our minds tend to become soft and presumptuous of ourluxuries. The paradox of happiness is that it requires we acknowledge suffering ofothers.This brief story may be profound or disturbing. Your assignment for thisactivity is to make two decisions.

A new pandemic has struck the world: Food inflation The novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic was pushed off global front pages last fortnight by food inflation. Food prices have leaped 75 per cent since mid-2020, the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) assessed. In India, rural consumer food price has doubled in the year through March 2022, according to the All India Consumer Price Index (CPI) by the National Statistical Office (released April 12). At 13 per cent, the countrys annual wholesale inflation was at the highest in a decade. Food and fuel prices played a major role. Such is the impact of inflation that the World Food Program (WFP), currently running one of its most expansive food relief operations in recent history, made a desperate appeal for further funding. Because, food inflation has significantly increased the cost of its day-today relief: Its paying $71 million (Rs 544 crore) more per month now for the same operation level. In the context of the Russia-Ukraine war, energy security came into focus. The world has been debating how the fossil fuel disruption will derail the planets efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to stop global warming and resultant climate change. Fuel price is already rising and adding to overall costs of everything, including food production and transportation. But, the war has also disrupted food grain supply and circulation further adding to the demand-supply equation. Extreme weather events continue to affect large swathes of areas growing food and thus bringing down overall production. To sum up, the most fundamental survival need is at stake. This crisis exposes the globalized worlds another fault line. When the COVID-19 pandemic struck, an interconnected globalised world suddenly woke up to a situation where every country retreated and scrambled for self-protection; expectedly the rich world jealously colonised all resources needed to fight the pandemic leaving the rest helpless. The food sector is also interconnected and interdependent, though perilously. WFP calls its aftermath a "seismic hunger crisis" gripping the world. In Africa and west Asia, the hunger crisis has already set in. The World Bank has warned that each percentage point increase in food prices would push an additional 10 million people into extreme poverty. The impact of food inflation is impacting the worlds poor and developing countries the most, because most of these countries are also food importers. For instance, some 50 countries, mostly poor countries, depend on Ukraine and Russia for wheat, a staple grain. (Source: DowntoEarth, April 2022)Question 1) Define what food inflation is.
