These studies have no meaning as incomes of people in India are highly under-reported.There is wide scale theft of taxes.Corruption is another cause.Taxes are too high and too many.According to some estimates India's actual GDP may be almost double of official figures. There is heavy skewness of income.Just 5% of Indian population are cornering 70% of Indian GDP. Actually 50% people are poor and more and more are getting poor. The prices are on a naked and unchecked bull run and governments in centre and states are simply looking other way struck by western glamour and rapid development dreams. Making huge expenses is not development. Indians are on spending spree and running after glamour. There is no regulation in country left on prices and manufacturing and services costs.In badly managed welfare schemes thousands of crores are wasted every year.The money is going in hands of few and is being siphoned off from country. India was never so badly and loosely managed. It is time to put breaks on this madness and resort to basic reforms and regulations to have moderate prices and moderate growth rate that only suits India like countries. There should be severe action to curb corruption making life sentence to husband & wife and confiscation of entire property to national exchequer. Country is not developing when prices are rising,corruption is rising and law & order is down with useless judicial system.Yesterday Chairman of MCI was caught for

But Abhinav's Gold virtually showed that Cricket game is like a big wall preventing other sports to come up in India.
Abhinav is the only Indian who broke the wall of Cricket and came out with flying colors...

Ashish, Yes Nagpur is on boom, but due to lack of electricity and corrupt leaders, it will take at least 10 years to complete MIHAN. Loadsheding is one of the hurdle in development.

Its nice to be part of Progress. Have seen Surat after sever epidamic of Plague. And Surat is most cosmo culture in India. Richness doesnt part of any one community.
Surat Municipality is the most effective muni in Asia and honered by Dubai Govt last year. They plan to rid off all the slum by 2010 and that is 60 annivarsary of Gujarat.
"More importantly, share of low-income households (below $3,000) could halve to just 7% by 2016 compared to 16% today." It is important that the number of households belonging to low-income category reduces and people move to high-income category. Increse in share might mearly mean widening in rich-poor gap.
ordinary surat people (20,000 per head) Marwadi-Sindhi Textile (20 crore per head) Varachaha Zone Diamond Ind. (1 billion per head) / total population = 4.57 LPA
BTW Varachaha Zone's black money can beat entire top 1000 list of worlds richest person.
