India's Share of the World's Poor Jumps as World Poverty Drops Sharply!

[funtoosh]

typical article of western style,whenever they have to say something good about China,they would never forget to mention 1989.though none of them know or want to know what really happened.what a shame!

agree,a lot of toilet paper saved!

indians are cleaner than you guys. we use waterand not paper. and then we send that water to pakistan via indus, which is used to irrigate their fields, which gives thier food they eat and finally exported to china.

Basics Mr. Haq ... basics..

How India's share of World poor increased ? Its only because China significantly reduced its share. Does that mean India's Poor population is increasing ? Never... I would like to post the data you cleverly omitted.

its means as other countries specially China's poor population decreases India's percentage becomes bigger because India's poor population is either not decreasing or decreasing marginally.

I hate to say it (honestly, no offence), but I don't see poverty decreasing in India, even in 50 years time there won't be much difference to the current situation, maybe a few new roads, malls & skyscrapers, but in the grand scheme of things, no real change! More then happy to eat my words, but with headlines like the following (article is only 9 months old), I don't have much faith. Plus, again I hate to say it, but no proud people, no proud country will allow their holiest of holy river (which they consider to be a living goddess) to be in such poor condition, the extremely poor condition of Ganga mata speaks volumes about the attitude and reality of the people and country.

India's Poor Starve as Politicians Steal Their Food

The scam was simple, says Javeed Ahmad, the CBI officer leading its investigation: Often using dummy firms, local officials paid the national government the subsidized prices for the food—as little as one-tenth of the market rate—then sold it to private companies at market prices and pocketed the difference. Poor Indians seeking rations at their local Fair Price Shop would find a locked door, Ahmad says, or be told to “buzz off”

In Satnapur, the children playing in the street have prominent ribs. The village has no electricity, and the ration shop has been closed for months, residents say. Only about half of the village households that qualify for subsidized rice, wheat, sugar, and kerosene receive any, says Surbala Vaish, an activist who works with a local collective of farmers and workers. “This is the most mean-spirited, ruthlessly executed corruption, because it hits the poorest and most vulnerable in society,” says Naresh Saxena, who, as a commissioner to the nation’s Supreme Court, monitors hunger-based programs. “What I find even more shocking is the lack of willingness in trying to stop it.”

It's good that it's being reported, but how much of a difference will it make?

 

[IND151]

From 60% in 1981 to 30% in 2010 is awesome also taken into account high growth of population during that period

Yes, its very good

I thought Indians are good at Math?

Everything you stated makes no difference to the point at hand, that India's share of world poverty has increased (even if the absolute number has decreased within India itself).

For those that find this difficult to understand, it means India is doing the 2nd worst (after sub-Saharan Africa) in improving their people's condition. It has no reference to whether or not the percentage of people within India that fit this poverty line are increasing or decreasing.

the % that causes the alarming rate per OP wrt india as the denominator shrinks dramatically due to China's substantial effort of lifting the largest no of people out of the extreme poverty line

indians are cleaner than you guys. we use waterand not paper. and then we send that water to pakistan via indus, which is used to irrigate their fields, which gives thier food they eat and finally exported to china.

that is why you guys are so delusional
do you know what are micro-organisms that cant be seen with your eyes
and the cause of your infant mortality rate due to this

It will take another 15 year to completely eradicate poverty in our country, now almost every child go to school and no more than two child is a norm here in villages.
Source :
i myself live in a village which has only a handful of house made of concrete and bricks just a decade back but now there is no any ''Kaccha'' ghar in our village.

This is why people laugh at Indians.

You see a chart that says you have increased by 50% your portion of the world's poorest people, and you then say that you're on the cusp of solving it all.... again.... in a shorter time than everyone else (15 years? Seriously??).

In the last 15 years (1995-2010), you country has actually increased it's proportion of the world's poorest by 20% (from 27% to 33%). Maybe you should focus on stopping the rise first?

The OP is talking rubbish.... once again

PS: Oooopss sorry, already posted.

Typical Indian, can't even understand BASIC math.

That's right, this stuff is basic! Just proves the level of education in your country.

Karim , it is higher on any given day and twice on Sunday compared to your home country. In fact as an immigrant group it is higher than your ' immigrant group' not only in your country but in others too.

For the latest on the subject and not 2010 numbers

Indian poverty levels fall to 29.8%

Usage of water for cleaning after defecation causes rise infant mortality?

Delusional CCP certified high IQ indeed.

Even certain European latrines have water based fixtures to clean after defecation.

Yep, Indians are definitely cleaner. Here is just some more of the amazing cleanliness of Indians.

Indians: inherently unhygienic? Indian writer touches third rail | India Insight

In fact, the 2010 Commonwealth Games held in India just proved to be a marvellous success in comparison to the 2008 Beijing Olympics. You can see how amazing the cleanliness of the Indians were compared to those horrible Chinese!

Less than two weeks before the opening ceremony, Fennell wrote to the Indian cabinet secretary, urging action in response to the village being "seriously compromised." He said that though team officials were impressed with the international zone and main dining area, they were "shocked" by the state of the accommodation. "The village is the cornerstone of any Games and the athletes deserve the best possible environment to prepare for their competition." The BBC published photographs of the village taken two days before 23 September showing unfinished living quarters.

New Zealand, Canada, Scotland and Northern Ireland have expressed concern about unlivable conditions. The Times of India newspaper reports that the Scottish delegation apparently submitted a photograph of a dog defecating on a bed in the games village. Hooper said that there was "excrement in places it shouldn't be" in the athletes' quarters and that members of visiting delegations had to help clean up the unsanitary things. The BBC released images of bathrooms with brown-coloured paan stains on the walls and floor, liquids on the floor, and brown paw prints on athletes' beds. Lalit Bhanot, the secretary general of the Organising Committee, rejected the complaint that sanitation was poor by saying that, due to cultural differences, there are different standards about cleanliness in India and the western world, a statement for which he was widely ridiculed in Indian and international media. Bhanot went on to say of the athletes' village that, "This is a world-class village, probably one of the best ever."

Meanwhile, Pakistan also made reservations over the condition of the athletes’ village and asked for an alternate accommodation to be made available to its contingent while preparation was still in progress. The Pakistan Olympic Association president Arif Hasan remarked: "We want the CGF to ensure that the athletes’ village is in good condition. Athletes cannot stay at a substandard place." Hasan however added that there were no doubts over Pakistan’s participation and the contingent would leave as planned.

Bidet

dont mention anything about an advanced toilet utensil as bidet to indians
you use your bottled bidet

dirty hands that contain harmful or life threatening micro-organisms are a prime source of contamination on your food, clothings and eyes and other parts of your body. This is just commons sense for heavens sake!

you incapable people at this level of IQ!
