India's richest corner 73 percent of wealth: Oxfam

[The Diplomat]

We have 30 states. I would recommend googling Maharashtra's figures and comparing them with Pakistan's.

So what if you have 30 states? More of your people are living under the poverty line than ours.

More of our people are living above the poverty line than yours as well.

Lol with a population of over 1.2bn people, I would hope that more than 200m Indians would live on more than $2 a day... Again, a crazy claim to make provided you have six time the population... You just don’t get it, do you?

You are the one who doesn't get it. If you throw numbers around, then India will be bigger every time. We have the bigger GDP, bigger army, we have more rich, we have more poor, we have more births, we have more deaths, and so on. So it's obvious we will have more poor also. If our biggest state in terms of population, that's bigger than Pakistan, suddenly vanishes, poof, even then India's population will still be more than 1 billion. I don't think understand India's size.

In terms of percentages, India beats Pakistan in every way, including poverty.

India's poverty standards are also higher than what WB proposes. They ask for $1.9, we use $2 for rural and $3 for urban citizens.

Mate, look at my post on page 1. I started off with talking about percentage of poverty rate of both countries. I compared poverty rate to the population size of each country.

I would recommend comparing Africa's economic conditions along with the combined military and scientific strength of Africa in comparison to India.

We used to be as poor and uneducated as Africa. We have 10 times less land. We have had multiple major wars. Look where we are headed now.

Superpower is right, but I would recommend getting the spelling right.



It's referring to 73% of the growth, not the entire GNI.

If GNI is $2.4T. We saw 7.1 growth, which means growth is about $165B. So 73% of the 165B, or 120B went to the 1%. The rest represented $45B.

Most of the growth was cornered by the rich, which is typical in any economy.



Quite accurate. India was poorer than Pakistan in the 60s and 70s.

Bangladesh was also poorer than Pakistan. Now they are higher.

What major war? Did India went into war with supapower such as Soviets and Amercians like the Chinese did?

Indians are heading outside of India to leech on welfare of western countries with its fake degrees

----------------------

Education in India, sadly, is not a pursuit for knowledge in the majority of the cases, it’s an activity for the students and a business for the institutions. You simply want to get on with it and move forward. It is supposed to be your key to the good, steady job.

Since there is no particular emotional attachment to this entire process of getting an education and acquiring knowledge or skill people very easily resort to unethical and unlawful activities in order to acquire fake diplomas and certificates from equally fake universities, colleges and diploma mills in India. Yes, you can shop around for a diploma, certificate or a degree with least effort.

There is no disgrace involved with cheating in examinations and there is such an atmosphere that in many cities and urban areas students think that cheating in examinations is as normal as appearing for examinations. The same attitude manifests in the acquirement of fake certificates, degrees and diplomas.

In most of the states where such malpractices are condoned and secretly encouraged (by families as well as the education mafia) people use fake certificates and diplomas to gain employment in the government sector where screening is not as stringent as in the private sector. We don’t mean to imply that since most of such people seek government jobs it is all right: we can see the effect the way various public departments function.

But now the problem is that people with fake certificates and diplomas are even applying for jobs in the private companies in increasingly greater numbers and there the impact can be devastating. Just imagine hiring an engineer or a software programmer who is qualified only on the paper he or she presents to you and otherwise he or she has not attended even a single class of the highly specialized stream. Even if you can throw the spurious employee out later on it may cost you lots of money and reputation. You need to find out the validity of the credentials before the person joins your organization as an employee.

Detecting fake certificates and qualification documents acquired from diploma mills and fake universities requires highly specialized equipment and know-how and they are available only with organizations and people who professionally handle such jobs. Wondering whether the employees your hiring are genuinely qualified or not? Partner with a reputed background screening company and they can easily find this out for you.

Hmm, maybe I misinterpreted - I didn't read whole article but only opening lines mentioned national income not incremental national income - here are extracts:

saw just one percent increase in their wealth while the richest one percent cornered 73 percent of the national income generated in the country last year

They don't care about money, administration, development. They care about the unfinished project. Project 2021. The project which Hindutva Ummah awaits. For this, the slaves and thong lickers of Golwalkar and Savarkar awaiting. The terrorist sleeper cells who prepare to replace Mahatma Gandhi's face with anti-national NathuRam Godse. For that, they have to topple judiciary, parliament, democracy to bring back India to the era of naked Sadhus and Farting Parmanu Bum Yogis. The typical Sanghi sympathizers is so pre-occupied with anti-Congress, anti-Muslim/Christian/Communist/Buddhist and awaiting Gujarat 2002 heroes to create Hindu Rashtra..such is their fervor for the Hindu Umma't that anyone showing them their bastardness to be bhagwa slaves is seen as traitors by them. RSS and BJP supports the arson being carried out by primitive rajput karni sena. - A recent example.
