Why is India so poor?

Indian officials proudly say that the number of poor people in India has dropped to less than 30. But this is because the Indian government has "moved the door frame": if the poverty line is set lower, there will be fewer poor people, and it is really not easy to be a poor person openly.

In many parts of India, it is very similar to the urban-rural fringe. Although it is a city, compared with the development of high-speed rail in China, the pace is still a little slow.

India has the largest arable land in the world, but thousands of people die of hunger and a large number of children are malnourished every year.

It is a very common "street view" to see groups of children playing cricket next to the stinking garbage dump 2 meters high.

Indians living below the poverty line seem to be numb to life. Some of them live by the stinking Henghe River, while others live by the sewer. Although the economy has made great progress and millions of Indians still live below the poverty line, the government still feels that they are not poor enough.

For example, in some poor places in India, even if both husband and wife work, their daily income is only 100 rupees, about $2. This needs to cope with the family's food and drink, Lazar, and also undertake the children's study. Such families often need to borrow money.

But in India, many families pay more attention to their children's education: they will try their best to provide education for their children. India's software industry is world-famous.

In India, there are many such vendors, but India has a subsidy policy for the poor, so many poor people don't work and raise some lazy people.

The poverty line of rural population in India is 28 rupees (about 44 cents, or 33 pence) per day. This money is enough for a rickshaw ride, a few handfuls of vegetables, or half a pint of milk.

Someone calculated an account like this, 28 rupees a day, 840 rupees a month, or 103 yuan. Compared with North Korea, the monthly salary of ordinary workers in North Korea (not the poorest kind) is 10 yuan, which is ten times higher than that in North Korea. Already very happy.

There is a joke in India that although medical expenses are free, the poor may not be able to afford to take a taxi to the hospital. And medical expenses

Although compared with neighboring countries, India is relatively less poor, and its per capita GDP is much higher than that of Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan and other countries. However, Dalit groups and low castes are not considered as people in India ~
