    I’ve been to a few countries and grew up in a third world country. I have never seen a wealth divide as massive and as blatantly on display as I did in India.

      Yes. Even if India becomes the largest economy by GDP

      What is the point when per capita income rank is 136 and HDI rank at 134.

      And the majority of people make less than $4 a day.

      That’s not gonna improve by much.

      Right now 810 million people are extremely poor dependent on free food grains.

      It’s only getting worse.
