India’s inequality gap has widened sharply under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decade in power, with the richest 1% of the population now owning 40% of the country’s wealth, a new study found.

    I would love to see how wealth inequality was viewed (so if it was culturally acceptable) and distributed in older Indian governments.

      Probably was not much different. My guess is it jumped from like 35% to like 40%. Important thing I see is GDP per capita is growing steadily, wish there was something government was doing to combat equality more, but I don’t trust for a second alternative government’s would address this either.

    Richest 1% own that 40%, for everyone’s reference. Rest of the article is pay walled or something, not showing up on my reader.

    All according to plan.

    Idk about ya’ll, but I see no shortage of useful idiots proud to sell themselves out to avoid conflict with the ruling class or their cognitive dissonance.

    I genuinely have no hope for this generation.
