In London, in 1973 Srila Prabhupada compared the malaria of India with the Cancer of the West. Here are some relevant excerpts from the talk: “In India, there are malaria or some disease. In your country there is cancer. Rich disease. You are rich men. That disease is also very rich. India, poverty-stricken, they suffer only a little malaria. That’s all. Oh, you are rich. You have got cancer. There is no cure. This is actually to be studied.”
