Isn't there freedom of speech in India?
Only one person from India deserve real respect from rest of the world. She deserve Nishan e Pakistan. Salaam.

What Indian participants have failed to deny or produce alternative proofs that close to 900 million Indians or 77% of the Population of India live on Rs20 a day. This is close to half a dollar a day.
The Indian Government has set the level and threshold of the poverty to Rs12 per day. This level is not consistent with the International description and level set by the UN, which is at $2 per day. In comparison 900 million Indians do not even meet the lower threshold of Poverty index at $1 a day.
The Indian poverty at 33% or 40% is a lie it is close to 80%. 900 million people in India live on less than half a dollar a day, which is far below of thresholds set by the UN.
Indians should accept, India is the poorest country in the world. Majority of its population 80% live far below the poverty levels set by the UN.
Or they should provide data which confirms that only 40% of Indians live on less than $2 a day or even $1 a day.
I am sure, they can not, therefore, it is settled, India has near to 80% people living in abject poverty, and it is the poorest country in the world, as majority of its population live in abject poverty.

Arundhati Roy's husband loses appeal to save Madhya Pradesh forest bungalow : North: India Today
.
Pradip Krishen, husband of writer-activist Arundhati Roy, has lost his forest bungalow in Panchmarhi that is allegedly built on encroached tribal land.
.
On Thursday, the divisional
commissioner of Bhopal and
Hoshangabad threw out the
appeal of Roy's filmmaker
husband Krishen and three
others, including writer Vikram
Seth's sister Aradhana Seth,
against a lower court order.
"The allotment of the land on
which the four bungalows stood
had been cancelled on grounds
of violation of forest law. Section
18 of the law bars buying and
selling of notified forest land,"
Manoj Srivastava, the divisional
commissioner, said.
Krishen and the others had last
month appealed against the
December 2010 order of the
Piparia sub-divisional magistrate,
which had upheld an earlier
order of the revenue
department declaring the
bungalows illegal.

Regarding India, the report said in 1990 as many as 51.3 per cent of Indian population was living on less than USD 1.25 a day, which got reduced to 41.6 per cent in 2005 and is expected to further decline to 22.4 per cent in 2015.
If this is not economic development then what is ?
And mind you this 22.4 % is accroding to the World bank international poverty line of 1.25 $ per day not the indian poverty line .
Stop lying Arundhati Roy .
Roy is a courageous lady who talks straight. India really needs a couple of Roys to keep her corrupt politicos and lethargic/archaic bureaucracy on the toe. The other thing is that this Bengalee lady does not exaggerate, and I doubt anything/anybody could scare her off from telling the truth. There are few more like her, but she has become an icon. She is a good attractive and articulate.
