For a nation with so much resources and such a huge population, a per-capita of $500 is disgraceful - even without foreign aid, Pak's per-capita is much higher, and 'poor' B'desh is almost even. It seems India is destined to remain a poverty-stricken nation for a long time to come, even with her fast growing economy. China's Per-capita is almost six times that of India's and growing, a gap India seems incapable of closing even in a hunderd years.
