Wealth gap in India is the highest it has ever been in decades.
If you can beat the legendary wealth gap in the US, then the wealth concentration in your country is truly epic.
So the white colonial masters had given Indians better wealth distribution than the rich Indians of today? Wow that is so sick.
Lies. I wonder how NITI Aayog defines "poverty" in its report. The ground realities just don't add up. Poverty is everywhere. The slums are still there. People in the cities are returning to the farmlands to survive.
So India desires to accelerate it's economic growth at all costs to enrich its rich even more. Even resorting to cooking the numbers, and underreporting inconvenient truths. It's a grotesquely top-heavy economy by design. All for the top 1%, and screw the rest. It's so bad, that it makes the colonial era looked better by comparison.
China deliberately slowed it's economic growth to rebalance it's economy. It tries hard to rebalance wealth distribution across the population. Even when it hurts some of China's economic numbers. When China says it's lifting people out of poverty, it is doing it for real.
That is why when India calls itself the "voice of the Global South", it only received applause from the Western nations. When China shares the success story of its poverty alleviation program, countries from the Global South are lining up to learn how to do it.
