I'm very surprised as well.The twitter post below it...it seems to have been compiled by the World Bank
The Map has TOTALLY surprised me and upended my beliefs..I thought North India would be vastly poorer compared to Pakistan
I'm guessing numbers must have been more underrepresented in Pakistan. I lived in Sialkot, a border city - visited the border multiple times and by the looks of it, the Indian side seemed to be much more impoverished. In Sialkot, you can earn around rs/25,000 - 50,000+($250-500) a month with mid-level education (high school) alone, which is pretty good in South Asia.
I've also had relatives that visited India and they did say that India was more impoverished, but they mostly visited Amritsar and Delhi.
