The proposed law can have a huge impact on people's life across India, and I appreciate the author’s effort to learn from international contexts. As he mentioned, there has been a rapid change in the approach to the right to food internationally, and India has taken important steps in this regard. I appreciated reading about the efforts taken in other developing countries. I think these good examples can be expanded up by looking at entitlement programmes that address the right to food without mentioning it directly. For example, though there is no direct mention of the right to food in the US constitution or any federal law there are far reaching entitlement programmes including Food Stamps, WIC programme (Women Infant & Children) and school feeding. These programmes are based on explicitly specified criteria (though complex and confusing at times) and anyone who matches the criteria is eligible for such support. Those who match the criteria but are denied it can get legal protection as well. We in India often tend to mistake a lot of developed countries to be “market economies” where there is little support to ideas like the right to food. On the contrary, every “rich democracy” (to use Harold Wilensky’s term) has provides income support, social security, unemployment allowance, free education, health, etc. Though a programme like income support does not directly arise from the right to food, it guarantees it. I feel that looking at how these are organised can give us further insights in what kind of systems we should have in India.
