China has more than 1.3 billion people; of them 16% live under the international poverty line ($1.25 US/day); childhood starvation rate is about 7%. In contrast, 42% of India lives under the international poverty line and almost 50% of Indian children are starving.
I agree, there always will be poor people in India, just as there always will be poor people in the US and Switzerland. The issue here is that, despite all of its recent economic successes, India remains by and large a wretchedly poor nation, and (as demonstrated above) seems more interested in showing off a false display of economic well-being than in actually improving the lot of its impoverished people.
I see you’re just making things up now.
India population density - 360/km2
Pakistan population density - 211/km2
Not sure why it’s relevant, but India’s population density is not even close to double Pakistan’s, let alone being “5 times” higher.
As for GDP (which is what I assume you mean by “wealth”), India’s GDP is roughly 6.5 times higher than Pakistan’s, which is approximately commiserate with the size of its population. Which is why the nominal per capita GDP in India $1,031 to Pakistan’s $1,017 (according to the IMF) or $900 to Pakistan’s $1,000 (according to the CIA).
It’s also important to note that while both nations are fairly similar in terms of per capita GDP, Pakistan actually does better in terms of basic poverty markers - which is to say that whatever wealth there is in Pakistan is marginally more equitably distributed.
Population below international poverty line - 42% in India vs 23% in Pakistan
Childhood starvation rates - 48% India vs 38% Pakistan
Population with access to proper sanitation/sewers - 28% India vs 58% Pakistan
etc.
