India’s Dirty Secret Flushed Out

[karan.1970]

Now even that is questionable, since indian government said 800 million people live on less than 50 cents a day. Obviously, $1 > 50 cents, so the number would be way higher than 41.6%. Which one should we trust, GoI, or HDI?

Spend a little more time reading the text than typing it.. the 50 cents figure is for per capita consumption and $1.25 is per capita income. Do google the difference.. Also your figures of 50 cents is of 2004-2005 and per capita consumption in india has been rising @ approx 12% per annum since then

They dragged us into WoT, so yes it's part of that. We have spent some 40-50B on WoT. Thats about a 30-40B reverse aid. Then one cannot count how much we have lost in investment due to WoT. It was around 8B at one time, now it's done to 1 or 2B.

but why even look for aid.. The TTP is your problem and you are clearing your territory from this infestation. Why even expect any aid..

Ok then.. it said 800 million live on 50 cent a day and poverty is more or less the same. But either way no big deal. It still said a 20% difference in poverty between india and Pakistan.

Now you indians are doing a diversion here. Good ol' strategy. I can reply to this, but I will be falling right into your trap. No thanks.

Why do you Indian trolls always want to switch the topic to Pakistan, when someone is critical of your country?

I think the mods should take note of these Indian trolls... They are not here for pragmatic discussions, they are here simply to spread their hypocrisy and lies!

This thread is posted for inviting trolls then flaming, abusing,cursing each other and atlast geting locked. Both of us are poor, but you point to India as if it alleviates your wounds...Learn from Tech-Lahore or BlackBlood- visit their threads 'emerging Pakistan' and 'I need ten years' and contribute if you really want to do something. (And of course you will learn what is constructive discussion). But you will not do that. You will put your face in sands like a stupid bird and continue your physic masturbation by relishing about poor India.

Sure.. But over all HDI India is still better off..

Can't deny it is rational. You're trying to take this thread off-topic. I realize that's what indians like to do when they see something they don't like. What you said can easily be talked about in another topic. But this is not the topic for it.

It is difficult to measure actual number of people below poverty line in India. Today morning I went to Municipalty office for some works. Renewal for BPL cards (holder of this card can get necessities in subsidised price) was going on. Many person was coming in motor-bikes to renew their cards. Local politicians secure votes by refering a person for BPL cards.
