keep in mind , 20 years back india had about 4 times pakistan's poverty, in relative terms

i'd like to quote an article:

Last year the average Indian made about $3,500 annually. The average Pakistani, $2,000. Ten years ago the disparity was reversed. Ten years from now the average Indian will be twice as rich as the average Pakistani and this gap is only going to widen in the decades and years to come.
India is racing toward economic and social advancement. Its population is becoming richer, more literate, more tech-savvy. And why is this happening? Because China’s awesome economic growth scares the living daylights out of India and this ensures that Indians are fixated by their economic growth in turn. Our former rival has put on running shoes and barely has enough time to check its rear view mirror to look at us, so focused is it on the Chinese panda.

Nothing to proud of here right now.

Nothing to proud of here right now.

Yes, it's quite shaming that we're just two notches above a nation with 1 Billion more mouths to feed than us.

Here is the whole data to download, if you want to mess around with it: http://hdrstats.undp.org/en/indicators/display_cf_xls_indicator.cfm?indicator_id=38406&lang=en

 

[W.11]

keep in mind , 20 years back india had about 4 times pakistan's poverty, in relative terms

it says about the ratio, not that india had 4 times the poverty, now as the indian population has 8 times the population then india poor people are 8 times pakistan poor people, and indian poverty is increasing, google it and you will find it out

 

[ALOK31]

it says about the ratio, not that india had 4 times the poverty, now as the indian population has 8 times the population then india poor people are 8 times pakistan poor people, and indian poverty is increasing, google it and you will find it out

NICE JOKE PAKISTAN POPULATION IN 2012 IS 19.3 CARORE AND INDIA'S POPULATION IS 1.21 BILLION SO INDIA'S POPULATION IS 6.23x OF PAKISTAN POULATION AND NEVER FORGET PAKISTAN POPULATION GROWTH IS WAY HIGHER THAN INDIA.

This is shameful but what did we expect when we have two hot borders, a virulent form of militancy, the terrible WoT and hardly any FDI. A corrupt government and no investment in education or job creation. Load shedding and no water management so we are surprised we are poor...

 

[Chinese-Dragon]

The OP seems to be an expert in finding obscure ways to twist basic facts in favour of India. "Shared deprivation divided by population"?

Here are the actual poverty levels:

Indian poverty levels higher than Pakistan's, says UN report - Telegraph

 

[Shinigami]

it says about the ratio, not that india had 4 times the poverty, now as the indian population has 8 times the population then india poor people are 8 times pakistan poor people, and indian poverty is increasing, google it and you will find it out

obviously the below poverty line numbers increased, because india's population exploded from 350 million to 1.2billion.

what decreased was the %

Also keep in mind that pakistan's population is exploding really fast. so 8 times before have become 7 times now and then evantually become equal

Couldn't put it better...both the countries have one of the most corrupt governments....

 

[punjabimunda]

so u mean pakistan's economy is so fast that poverty is decreasing at lightning speeds

Caps aren't necessary.
