I'd find it hard to believe that anyone living in rural area @ Rs 2400 is not living in abject conditions. This is especially considering that they probably won't have 4 people in the family but more like 5 or 6 or even more.
1. Its not pakistan/Bangladesh, its India and we don't have so big family even in rural illiterates.
2. All the kids of the family every day gets free mid day meal hot cooked in schools provided by Govt. of India.
3. Then the poor people gets Wheat/Rice at very low rates Rs. 2/3 per kg.
4. So when you have your own home/hut in village, gets highly subsidized food and also get Good wages in rural area its Good to be in India.
