Firstly you cant admit anything on my part, for i feel you dont know me that well to make such a bold statement. Secondly i am amazed at your rudeness but i suppose mabye you were not taught any at home or at shcool.
Secondly here is some eye opening facts for you jihails!
India can achieve 8% growth: World Bank
No one knows the extent of India’s middle class, but most accept that two-thirds of the country’s 1 billion people live in rural areas where electricity, running water and usable roads are luxuries not necessities.
The digital divide is such that the country, as investment bank Goldman Sachs observed, is home to “nearly a third of the world’s software engineers and a quarter of the world’s undernourished”.
About four-fifths of healthcare spending in India is effectively private medicine. Spending on universities rather than schools sees the country produce 2 million graduates a year and leaves more than half the country’s women illiterate.
Democracy’s greatest strengths, such as being able to disseminate information and argument before reaching a consensus, also need to be harnessed in India.
While Beijing can luxuriate in the certainty of perpetual government afforded by dictatorship, India’s politicians must wake up to the fact that their country needs them now, rather than being jolted briefly out of complacency every five years. -Dawn/The Guardian News Service.

ADB questions poverty reduction in India
The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has put a question mark on the future sustainability of poverty reduction in India, despite the country hitting the road to high GDP growth rate.

Amartya Sen defined development as the process of expanding people’s choices,in other words, functionings and capabilities to function, the range of things that a person could do and be in her life.
Atanu Dey provides the distinction between development and growth.

Have fun and i hope i havent defalted you ego’s too much?
Enforcer,
So you have proven that there are poor people in India. Shabbash beta! 
What is your claim fella - “of worlds hungry that plague her lands” How about some proof for that?
Wassmatter, cat got your tongue? 
More like mouse got your brain, read the articles clrearly in their full context and then come back…
What’s the matter, cannot prove your claims? 
You said - “half of worlds hungry that plague her lands” How about some proof for that?
Either show some proof for that or withdraw the claim.
Context my foot.
WFP, Half of worlds hungry live in the land of milk and honey aka India
Quiz… In which country 20,000 people starved to death in 2003?
:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :biggthumb
Thanks abdail. I was trying to find that one… But if talwar had read my posts much clearly hek would have found the data he needed!
Ohh poor chap, now go and tend to that wounded ego of yours! 
Nonsense. It says "nearly" half meaning less than half. Jackal, you still have to prove your claim of "half of world's poor"
BTW, how is the situation in your land with 55% of the population below or just above the poverty line and millions without water supply ;)

Jackal,
**Do you really believe that India is worse off than Pakistan in terms of:
- Poverty
- Malnutrition
- Illiteracy
- Population growth**
**World Bank Figures for India
Poverty - 29%
Population Growth - 1.9%
Child mortality - 6.7%
Illiteracy - 41%
Wrold Bank Figures for Pakistan
Poverty - 33%
Population Growth - 2.4%
Child mortality - 8.4%
Illiteracy - 54%
In every social and human development indicator, India is above Pakistan despite being 7 times bigger in population.
How’s that? ;)**

-X-
(Pakistan) suffers from massive urban unemployment, rural under-employment, illiteracy and low per capita income. **One-third of the population live below the poverty line and another 21 percent lives just above it, resulting in almost half the people of Pakistan being very poor. **
-X-
The land of pure milk and honey, a.k.a Pakistan.
Guess in which country people die because they have to drink posioned water supplied by their government - in 2004?
How Indians reduce poverty...
Globalist Interview > Global Economy
Poverty — By the Numbers?
By Angus Deaton
Global economic policymakers like to give grandiose speeches about
helping "the poor." But how many people are really "poor"? Like all
attempts at economic measurement, that question is difficult to
answer. In a conversation with Prakash Loungani, Angus Deaton — a
Princeton University professor who has studied Indian poverty
statistics intensively — explores the difficulties.
India has long used a 30-day recall period. In recent years, the
statistical authorities in India experimented to see what difference
the recall period makes to the estimate of the number of poor.
They found that shifting to a one week recall period would essentially
halve the number of poor in India. That must be the most successful
poverty-reduction program in the world!
India has 290 Million poor and 800 million rich and middle class.
Yawn.........
Repeat question for PhD's like Abdali.
**Which country, India or Pak is better in terms of:
- Poverty
- Illiteracy
- Population growth etc.**
Don't divert the topic by posting absolute numbers. India has 7 times the population of Pakistan, so comparing absolute numbers is fallacious.
When World Bank says poverty is X%, it means something.
Go back and try again :D
FYI for the geniuses, World Bank and other multilateral orgs conduct their own poverty surveys, independent of the govt.
