TBH I'm surprised it's not worse. As certain members on PDF like to constantly remind us- "India has more poor than all of sub-saharan Africa". It's tragic, but the good thing is the GoI is instituting numerous policies to alleviate this struggle and this time they seem very well thought out and likely to succeed. For the last decade India has been pulling 1% of poverty stricken out of poverty every year (doesn't sound like much but that's 10,000,000 EVERY YEAR) and India is one of only 2 countries ON EARTH who are on track to meet their UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).
