The article has few sourced statements, and it cites information out of context. Statistical data from questionable sources are deliberately slanted to make India look like the poorest country in the world (a patently false claim). There is no precedent on wikipedia to single out the poverty situation of any country as an article, while statistics show that poverty situation in some other countries are far worse than in India. Why is India being singled out?Plus, the pictures are placed out of context and have no text in the articles to support their placement. As it stands (and has stood for months), it is an anti-India attack article, offensive and disguting. There is a better article Standard of living in India where the matter of poverty in India can be put in at length so this article is also redundant with a POV title.

Poverty in India
Capitalism has never worked for the lower-classes, and has mainly helped the 75-80% of Indians that live above the poverty line, especially the middle class, upper middle class, and the upper class. The income in all three of these classes has constantly been increasing in the last 3 years, and at a much faster rate than the inrease in income of the poor and the lower class, which has increased income inequality over the last 25 years: The richest 10% in India now control more than 40% of all income, while the poorest 20% only earn 8.1%. However, poverty is constanly decreasing, and so is the now less than 5% of Indians who live on no more than US$2 a day,or about 50 million people.
