no, he is not saying that........he is talking in terms of percentages.......even if the numbers are high in India, the situation in pakistan is also not good so what's the fun in posting a thread on toilets every few days?.......
Ok so lets talk percentage.
Poverty 55% of Pakistan population.
1.221 billion/660 million = 54.05 % poverty of India (ok you won, your percentage is lower even though its 660 Million.)
I understand the fact that some users post news, that is anti India. But some news is actual facts and you can't deny that, it takes a bigger person to accept it.
I agree both nations have to fight Poverty, if both nations decide today to forget everything else and Concentrate on eliminating poverty.
You must agree India has a higher hill to climb just because of the sheer number of its population.
Lets look at a neutral source excerpt.
Poverty in India is widespread, with the nation estimated to have a third of the world's poor. In 2010, the World Bank reported that 32.7% of the total Indian people fall below the international poverty line of US$ 1.25 per day (PPP) while 68.7% live on less than US$ 2 per day.[1]
According to 2010 data from the United Nations Development Programme, an estimated 29.8% of Indians live below the country's national poverty line.[2] A 2010 report by the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) states that 8 Indian states have more poor people than 26 poorest African nations combined which totals to more than 410 million poor in the poorest African countries.[3][4] A 2013 UN report stated that a third of the worlds poorest people live in India.[5]

Poverty in Pakistan is difficult to quantify. In 2006, the methodology used by the Pakistani government to estimate those living in poverty was challenged by the World Bank and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). At that time, the government estimate was that 23.9 per cent of the population lived below the poverty line but the independent organisations assessed the figure in the range of 25.7 - 28.3 per cent.[1] Those independent bodies supported estimates of a considerable fall in the statistic by the 2007-08 fiscal year, when it was estimated that 17.2% of the total population lived below the poverty line.[2] The declining trend in poverty as seen in the country during the 1970s and 1980s was reversed in the 1990s by poor federal policies and rampant corruption.[3] This phenomenon has been referred to as the "poverty bomb".[4] In 2001, the government was assisted by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in preparing the Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper that suggests guidelines to reduce poverty in the country.[5]
Pakistan fares better than India and Bangladesh on most poverty markers such as the UN MPI index and its poverty rate is below those nations.
