Ram Mandir, Love Jihad, Gyanwapi, religious riots, Beef Cow politics, Aurangazeb, Tipu Sultan, Religious Conversion, National Pride etc only purpose of all these to keep the status quo to keep OBC SC ST deprived of resources. So, upper caste can retain the benefits of caste system in Democracy, at expense of OBC SC ST. BJP/RSS doesn't want to acknowledge poverty not because its embarrassed about it or damages national pride, But, because reduction of poverty means government will have to work for OBC SC ST.

Hatred and jealously boil out from upper caste minds last time when OBC SC ST got something, watch videos for yourself. True Character only comes out when someone has to share or part with something.

UNITED NATIONS: Five out of six multidimensionally poor people in India are from lower tribes or castes, according to a new analysis on global multidimensional poverty released by the United Nations on Thursday.

The global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) produced by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative said this in its latest report on poverty.

“In India, five out of six multidimensionally poor people are from lower tribes or castes. The Scheduled Tribe group accounts for 9.4 per cent of the population and is the poorest, with 65 million of the 129 million people living in multidimensional poverty. They account for about one-sixth of all people living in multidimensional poverty in India,” it said.

Following the Scheduled Tribe group is the Scheduled Caste group with 33.3 per cent -- 94 million of 283 million people -- living in multidimensional poverty.

The report further said that 27.2 per cent of the Other Backward Class group- 160 million of 588 million people -- live in multidimensional poverty, “showing a lower incidence but a similar intensity compared with the Scheduled Caste group.

“Overall, five out of six multidimensionally poor people in India live in households whose head is from a Scheduled Tribe, a Scheduled Caste or Other Backward Class,” it said.

Among the 1.3 billion multidimensionally poor people studied globally, almost two-thirds- 836 million- live in households in which no female member has completed at least six years of schooling.

This exclusion of women from education has far-reaching impacts on societies around the world.
These 836 million people live mostly in Sub-Saharan Africa (363 million) and South Asia (350 million). Seven countries account for more than 500 million of them: India (227 million), Pakistan (71 million), Ethiopia (59 million), Nigeria (54 million), China (32 million), Bangladesh (30 million) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (27 million).

According to the report, the top five countries with the largest number of people living in multidimensional poverty are in India (2015/16) at 381 millions, Nigeria (2018): 93 million, Pakistan (2017/18): 83 million, Ethiopia (2019): 77 million, Democratic Republic of the Congo (2017/18): 56 million.

“The findings in this report are a call to action for policymakers everywhere. Across the 5.9 billion people who live in the 109 countries studied, more than one in five -- 1.3 billion -- live in multidimensional poverty.

“Half of global multidimensionally poor people are children. And although prepandemic multidimensional poverty levels were declining, the poorest countries lacked emergency social protections during the COVID-19 pandemic and could suffer the most,” the report said.

It said that about 16 million multidimensionally poor men and children (0.3 per cent of the total population) live in households without a woman or girl age 10 or older. But nearly half of multidimensionally poor people who live with a woman or a girl -- 622 million -- live in households in which no one, regardless of gender, has completed six or more years of schooling.

In India, close to 12 per cent of the population -- 162 million people -- live in female-headed households.

One in six multidimensionally poor people -- 207 million -- across 108 countries live in female-headed households. Nearly a quarter of them live in India, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Nigeria, Pakistan and Uganda are together home to another quarter.

“The COVID-19 pandemic has eroded development progress around the world, and we are still grappling to understand its full impacts," says Achim Steiner, UNDP Administrator.

"This year's Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) reminds us of the need for a complete picture of how people are being affected by poverty, who they are and where they live, if we are to build forward better from this crisis and design effective responses that leave no one behind,” the UNDP Administrator added.

Uneven burden of multidimensional poverty in India: A caste based analysis​

Poverty is multifaceted. The global poverty profile shows 41% of multidimensionally poor people living in South Asian countries. Though castes and tribes are a more prevalent line of social stratification in India, and their socio-economic characteristics also vary remarkably, hardly any study has explored these dimensions while analysing multidimensional poverty in India. Hence, this study attempts to assess the multidimensional status of poverty among the social groups in India. National Family Health Survey, 2015–16 (NFHS-4) is a source of rich information on 579,698 households’ well-being for this analysis. Alkire- Foster technique was applied to decompose the Multidimensional Poverty Index (M0) across its dimensions and indicators for all the social groups. Three broad dimensions of deprivation–Health, Education and Standard of Living–include 12 indicators, guided by the poverty literature, data availability and the country’s sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). There were three main findings in this study: (1) Scheduled Tribes (STs) are the most disadvantaged subgroup in India with remarkably high values of headcount (H = 0.444;), intensity (A = 0.486), and M0 (0.216), followed by Scheduled Castes (SCs) (H = 0.292; A = 0.473; M0 = 0.138), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) (H = 0.245; A = 0.465; M0 = 0.114); and Others category is the most privileged with very low values of H = 0.149, A = 0.463, and M0 = 0.069; (2) STs contribute nearly twice their population share for both H and M0, and the SCs contribution is also noticeably higher than their population share; (3) States located in the central and eastern regions of India have the higher H, A and M0 for all the social groups. This suggests that there is a need for a thorough assessment of poverty at specific levels to uncover the poverty situation in society, improve the effectiveness of evidence-based planning and effective policymaking.

Caste Dimensions of Poverty and Wealth


Large income and asset deficits disempower the disadvantaged castes.
Even while the country is debating on the inclusion of data on castes in the next decennial census, two reports released last month highlight the growing inequities confronting the disadvantaged castes. The first report titled “Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (GMPI), 2021,” published by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative and the United Nations Development Programme, reveals the high incidence of poverty among the Scheduled Tribe (ST), Scheduled Caste (SC), and Other Backward Class (OBC) segments.

You are wasting your time, Neither do Pakistanis care about you, nor do our resident cowpee variety bhakts and definitely not the chingchongs, turks, iranis etc . None of our resident cowpee bhakts will comment on negative news like this, they are only here to earn brownie points against Pakistan and chest thump on any slightly positive news and taunt Pak members how India is better than Pakistan(One of the handful of countries in the world that India is better than :lol:). They will only comment on shupapowa 2020 type news, not on essential things like this, hunger, poverty etc, most of them even ignore threads about martyred indian troops, jet and helicopter crashes etc, go to any of those threads and you will only see a handful of even basic RIPs(mostly by me). On the other hand, if there is any shupapowa type missile test news etc, they get attracted to it like flies to shit. Now just look at the banned pissdrinker who commented before me, he is probably busy raping gowmata in the gowshala after drinking a bottle of cowmutar, probably even rapes his sister.
