I didn't mention india at all. why did you think it was india?
sorry, my rates were off. i accept my mistake. 2 million per year is the figure in this hypothetical country, backed up here:
Is India Doing Enough to Reduce Child Mortality? - TIME
not mentioning india.
also, UNICEF and World Bank conduct surveys in China, and all of their statistics indicate that a comparable percentage of Chinese and Polish children die before the age of 5 while a comparable percentage of country X and Nigerian children die in the same period.
Annual # of under 5 deaths in China: 365 thousand
divide by population to obtain under 5 death rate: 2.8*10^-4
UNICEF - China - Statistics
Annual # of under 5 deaths in Poland: 7 thousand
divide by population to obtain under 5 death rate: 1.84*10^-4
UNICEF - At a glance: Poland - Statistics
While in country X, the normalized death rate is given by:
under 5 death rate/population = 1830/1181412 = 1.55*10^-3
which is a magnitude higher than that of China, Poland and other lower-end industrialized countries.
UNICEF - India - Statistics
Let's compare country X to Nigeria. Again, this is just a hypothetical country X, not India.
under 5 death rate/population = 186/151212 = 1.23*10^-3
UNICEF - At a glance: Nigeria - Statistics
wow! a poor african dictatorship like Nigeria and this hypothetical country X have a similar under 5 death rate!
india is not mentioned, so don't be angry, just be happy that you're not in this hypothetical country X.
