Half of India’s Population Lives Below The Poverty Line

:) seems like the case.

I do not know why Indians get agitated and bring in BD and Pakistan viz a viz Indian poverty.

Its a reality and needs some solid suggestions to tackle instead of comparison with other countries

I'll have to agree with you on this one.:tup:

For some reason, the estimates of this have been ranging from 250 million people to sometimes 800 million people depending on the agency that is taking the so-called study.

250-800 million is a huge gap and this shows the stupidity, bias and inaccuracy of those who've attempted to take statistical data. Until the real figures measure up, I don't think anything can be said.

550 Million poor means our entire country should be like Namibia or Burundi. It ain't like that. Corruption and poverty is there ALL over South Asia and in worse forms than what's seen in India alone. Countries with smaller population, cultural and national uniformity and state-based denominations have poverty despite having all the ideal conditions for development.

Still for some reason, I don't understand what the thread starter gets in the form of satisfactions trying to escape his own demons and hiding behind highlighting this burnt-off topic again and again and again and again.

Not to mention that the same agencies if indeed considered genuine have also estimated an estimate of 30 million illegal immigrants from the thread-starter's country and therefore adding to India's poor.

I believe this has got to be some sort of "RAW sponsored" propaganda now?

What do you say MBI?

yeah, and the solution is market based economic growth with government backed infrastructure development .

this is already happening.

Albeit really slow and with a lot of corruption:angry::tdown::frown:

So half of India's population is very poor. Then why spend billions in Afghanistan and billions on the Commonwealth games, and billions on weapons? And why always complain about "26/11" when its clear India doesn't give a damn about its people..

u don't need to worry for india poverty. pak has same situation like india. The only difference is that indian media is free to publish any report, it doesn't matter it's in the favor of india or against the india. but what the position of media in pakistan all we know that....

More than 836 million, or 77% of the entire Indian population live on less than $0.5 a day, the poverty line India sets for itself:
