1. In India 828 million people, or 75.6% of the population, live on less than $2 a day, compared to 72.2% in Sub-Saharan Africa.[
The World Bank further estimates that fully one third (33%) of the world's poor reside in India.
According to the latest (as of December 2008) World Bank estimates on poverty, based on 2005 data, 256 million Indians, or 41.6% of the country's population, survive below the updated international poverty line of $1.25 (PPP) per day
2. Although Indian economy has grown steadily over the last two decades, its growth has been uneven when comparing different social groups, economic groups, geographic regions, and rural and urban areas.[7]Wealth distribution in India is fairly uneven, with the top 10% of income groups earning 33% of the income
3. Although it is difficult to count the total number of prostitutes, or sex workers, latest estimates show that there are some three million in the country, an overwhelming majority in the 15-35 year group. Among these are growing migration and poverty, political instability, erosion of traditional values, desire to earn easy money, globalization and declining job opportunities for uneducated and unskilled youths. Prostitution growing in India, says survey-India-The Times of India
4. it was thought that around 5 million people were living with HIV in India - more than in any other country.
5. The rapid decline in inflation reinforces the impression that the Indian economy is slowing sharply after the economic boom in recent years. Some economists are predicting that the growth rate will be cut in half in 2009.
Interest rates are also expected to be cut further to stimulate growth. BBC NEWS | World | South Asia
6. With a population of well over 1 billion people, India is the second most populous nation in the world. According to UN-HABITAT, India is home to 63% of all slum dwellers in South Asia. This amounts to 170 million people, 17% of the world’s slum dwellers. As India continues to develop its infrastructure and tries to compete economically with the West, it is important that its poorest citizens are able to work together with government to ensure pro-poor development.

7. New Delhi: India stands third, leaving behind countries like Sri Lanka, Jordan and Argentina, when it comes to rape cases, latest data of the Union Home Ministry suggest. Ahead of India are only the United States and South Africa.

12. India has slipped three notches, from 124 to 127, in its ranking on the UNDP's human development index (HDI), which measures the achievements of countries on the basis of indicators like life expectancy, educational attainment and income levels.

13. New Delhi, Nov 17 (IANS) India might be an emerging economic power, but it is way behind Pakistan, Bangladesh and even Afghanistan in providing basic sanitation facilities, a key reason behind the death of 2.1 million children under five in the country. 70% of the Indian population don't have toilets at home and usually go to the footpath, farm or any outdoor place for ablutions

14. There are no reliable estimates on the total number of homeless people who live where they can on the streets of India's large metropolises of Delhi, Mumbai and Calcutta and in the smaller cities and towns but the number could easily exceed 2 million. It is common to see individuals and families taking shelter where they can under flyovers, in culverts or in large water pipes. Those that sleep on the pavements are often reported to have been run-over by rashly driven vehicles.

15. The Issue For years, India has been known as a "warehouse for kidneys" or a " great organ bazaar" and has become one of the largest centers for kidney seelers.The Voluntary Health Association of India estimates that each
year more than 2,000 people sell their organs for money (compared
with 500 in 1985 and barely 50 in 1983 (Chandra, p.53). Those
receiving a kidney typically pay from $6,000 to $10,000.
Indian public life is riddled with scandals. One such scandal that distinguishes itself by the way it repeats itself with amazing regularity and hits the headline every few years is the scandal of the Indian kidney bazaar, as crudely described at some stage in its history. The desperation, ingenuity and collusion of the players involved have made India a hot destination
