South Asia 5% poor in India? Union govt claim debunked, '26.4% of population below poverty line'

[Sharma Ji]

So, is this true?

Not only is India the world’s second most populated country, but it has a fast growing middle class that is raising the demands on clean, safe water. Then consider close to half of the country practises open defecation and you have a dichotomy of two very different populations desperately pulling at the same limited resource.

One group wanting to grow and flourish and the other wanting to survive.

A few numbers from the World Bank highlight the plight the country is facing:

163 Million Indians lack access to safe drinking water

210 Million Indians lack access to improved sanitation

21% of communicable diseases are linked to unsafe water

500 children under the age of five die from diarrhea each day in India

No idea, man.. how the fvck you expect me to know ?

I travel mostly between 2/3 cities here and spend the majority of my time in my nice little bubble, as most people do (globally even), I imagine.

You keep having fun playing with your statistics but lol

Bangladeshi where more than 45% of population lives under poverty line

Look at official data, in India 25% lives below poverty line, In Bangladesh, around 18%. It's okay, different style of bhikharees.

These our Bangladeshi, Chinese friends are auditors. They are here to point out problems in India. They don't have anything good to eat but they will give all advice to India and other genuine democracies like Israel, US etc. about everything. More hungry they are, more they will advice. Do you know, the electricity they were purchasing from Adani and which was disconnected by Yunus, they want it to be restored. They say that they will do all pending payment soon. Sari hekadi nikal gayi hai. Chavala bhi chahiye. Boycott India is finished.

Bangladesh has capacity to produce 150% of the electricity it needs at the moment. In fact the govt. has decided to shut down small unprofitable electricity generation plants - there are too many of them. Besides there are dozens of new high efficiency plants in the pipeline, some of them nuclear.

The deal with Adani was made to siphon money to India illegally and was made by corrupt Hasina, there is no need to carry on with the deal and Bangladesh reserves the right to unilaterally cancel the deal and disconnect the electricity being supplied by Adani, which is continuing. Your information may not be correct.

Bangladesh really does not need anything from India, it can import foodstuffs from any country in the world.

It is India that is begging Bangladesh to buy its potatoes, onions and Chawal which it cannot sell in the global market because of glut and low quality.

In fact Indian farmers are demonstrating on the streets now because they cannot sell their produce - the glut has dropped produce prices to horrendously low levels in India. There are such news coming out every week now. @Saif bhai published something like this even last week.

Stop begging us to buy your low quality rice.

Godi propaganda does not pass fact checks.

Then why BD is buying Electricity from India. They have requested Adani to restore electricity supply. Why so?

We are not begging. It is BD who is begging rice from India. Your government begged 50000 tons of rice from India. India offered 25000 tons. You do not have even rice to eat and bragging as if you are food supplier of the world.
