India 'diverts funds for poor to pay for Commonwealth games'

1. I said 5-10% of India’s population had significant purchasing power that would interest international companies.
2. Assuming your math is as poor as your reading skills, that’s still 55-110 million people, which is a large market nonetheless.
3. It’s not “my number,” rather it’s based on the Indian National Council of Applied Economic Research’s estimate that less than 6% of India’s population had purchasing power on par with the American/European middle class.
4. All of this has already been clearly explained in prior posts, which you would know if you actually bothered to read anything before hitting the reply button.

My math is fine but I guess you kept your comprehension skill in your Madrassa.

You took the lowest estimate while others take the highest estimate.
Your post started with lampooning indian media of hyping the middle class. Yes it might be 10% of the population but with the growth of Indian economy it is the fastest growing segment of indian population. By 2015 it will overtake the poor people in India.
I guess you understand that but you dont want to admit it. I cannot fault you Janabi. i have seen you enough. You are a clever person and can twist facts to support your claims. I hope you could use your cleverness for the good of your people.
