The story of Norman Borloug who helped India achieve its Green Revolution. Four pages long, but still a good read.
In the mid-’60s, Borlaug traveled to India and Pakistan in an attempt to avert massive disaster. The countries had plunged into one of the worst droughts in years. Millions teetered on the edge of starvation. For several frantic months, Borlaug and his team dodged war, struggled with bum seeds and battled entrenched bureaucrats.

How comes it that the only version of the story I have heard is that in the 60s we were on the verge of starvation, humiliatingly dependent on aid from the Americans (who of course were giving us aid only to exploit us) and along with their seeds came a lot of weeds which spread all over the place, and we were delivered from all this by the Green Revolution?
