Slums in South Asia

[Gandhi G in da house]

More than 836 million, or 77% of the entire Indian population live on less than $0.5 a day, the poverty line India sets for itself:

Nearly 80 pct of India lives on half dollar a day | Reuters

836 million Indians live on less than Rs 20 a day - Business News - IBNLive

84 Crores of Indians Earn Rs. 20 Per Day, is It Necessary to Pay for Space Research?

None of this is from world bank or govt . of India .

According to the world bank the population below poverty line in India will go down to 23 % in 2015 from 42% in 2005 .

Bilallalahaider won't get a good sleep now..

He has not been getting good sleep seeing India (the land from where he migrated in search of better life) growing economically,militarily and globally while the supposed Promised Land is going on an unstoppable downward spiral where you dont have basic guarentee for your life, where foreigners can come shoot you in the middle of the street and your government itself will pay to set them free, where foreign drones come regularly and shoot the shyt out of your own people,where the cost for imports is paid by printing bills or else there is a risk of sovereign default etc etc.

So he needs this artificial pictures to cocoon himself from the reality so that the fateful decision taken 6 decades back stands somehow justified.

We Indians ,as generous as always ,must allow him that privilege.

Yup that poor Pakistani soul should at least get a good sleep if not a good opportunistic life!

Wall Street Journal - March 30, 2011
In India, Doubts Gather...

"Data from McKinsey & Co. show that the number of households in the highest-earning income bracket, making more than $34,000 a year, has risen to 2.5 million, from 1 million in 2005. But the ranks of those at the bottom, making less than $3,000 a year, also have grown, to 111 million, from 101 million in 2005."

Dharavi is the largest slum in Asia: UNDP report (FROM THE UNDP WEBSITE!!!)

http://www.undp.org/legalempowermen...es/12_India/12_6_Informal_Business_Rights.pdf

The small entrepreneurs that we have taken up are those operating in the Dharavi area of the city. This area is/was known as the largest slum in Asia. It houses not only the slum dwellers who live in shacks or semi-pucca (permanent) houses. There are also a number of small industries in the slum that provide livelihood for a large section of the resident slum dwellers. The industries covered are similar to the HHIs in Delhi.

2-5 years and he won't even have the privilege.

There was a time when Pakistan's GDP/percapita was higher than India. India kept rising, Pak just regressed.

Even Pakistan's poverty rate has increased to 40%

Statistics reveal stunning increase in poverty

Just 2-5 more years and no more Kool aid. But hey they might keep bringing up Gujrat etc to justify the existence of their nation
