India's Shrinking Children: A $3 Trillion Paradox Exposed

India's GDP is booming, yet its children are shrinking. This deep dive unravels a shocking paradox: why are Indian kids shorter than those in poorer African nations?

You'll see how birth order, gender bias, and ancient rituals are literally stunting a generation. This isn't about food; it's about who gets it. Watch to understand the invisible forces that shape human capital—and why money alone can't fix them.
