Poor One

most of the people life survives with agriculture and nature. so the income of the less the 1.25$ or more then 1.25$ has no effect because there are no role of money in the life of these people.

Why India is also poor
by Anindya DasGupta on Oct 14, 2014 02:21 AM  | Hide replies

India it seems have done slightly better than these African nations ( apx 68% under international poverty line). Hence India if not amongst the poorest, but surely among very very poor.This is in spite of the fact that India inherited perhaps the most developed foundation of an administration , an easy access to independence without a nationwide civil war and a strong base for a consistent democracy from its erstwhile British rule at least in the yardstick of a colony which no other colonial rule anywhere in the world, least so in Africa have been so gifting. Bangladesh, Haiti or Burundi have their justification for poverty,but does India have it?

India cannot be equated with small small countries shown above, it is shame for us that we have such large population of poor, we got independence in 1947, majority of money is spent on poor, reason behind is only no population control on unwanted poor children, rather politicians have used them as vote bank.

I dont agree on ur comment"majority of money is spent on poor", if that is the case then there should not be any poor, the division between poor and rich are constantly increasing because of unequal distribution of assets among people.QUICK solution is:Make rule to for equal distribution of assets( whosoever hold that) coupled with population control.

We have a huge population, and majority of India is poor, none of the govt. is dare enough to implement total population control of these poor due to votes, they eat everything from the tax payers pocket and development lags behind.
