Shortage of labor in so called "poor" India

[Veeru]

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.

I dont understand why dont Indians just admit that there is poverty in India. There is nothing wrong in it.

Just google labour shortage and you will come up links with every country in some sort of labour shortage.

Who's saying there is no poverty in India? No one in a right frame of mind would ever say that. We are just trying to disapprove claims of 80% poverty rates.
