I predict there will be mass riots and starvation in India as men go without food

In India, the government is giving money to the poor to survive the 22 day lockdown- but only to women. I think this is a bad idea

India has started a new program where women get 500 rupees in relief cash. This is help survive a total 21 day lockdown- most work is suspended, so most people will be unable to earn money.

Men however, get nothing. This will, IMO, lead to riots and starvation as hunger builds in desperate men. I did a video on it too.

I feel this is not only extremely unfair, but unwise. After a week with no food, what will men do? They will be desperate and start stealing. And who has the money to steal from? Women do.

The arguments that women need it “more” really don’t apply when you talking about starvation. Everybody needs to eat. There’s just no good reason to not give men the money too. A man who lives with women might have food, but single men will be completely without food for 3 straight weeks

Even if a man lives with women who gets the money, if only half the population can buy enough food for 1 person, then there won’t be enough food for everybody.

I think this will end badly and people will starve, but even worse, end in violence.
