Yup, a lot of Muslims especially Pakistanis hate everything about the West and Western culture yet will migrate en masse when given half the chance and reap all the benefits staying there. So its quite hypocritical for some to praise this professor for saying such about Indians when it goes our way as well.
The IVC was millennia ago, we haven't done much ever since. And the Muslim empires were mostly foreign invaders.
New Recruit
yes, I admire that British Pakistanis are very hardworking and yeah they do make quite a lot of money. Also you right, the reason a lot of the original British pakistanis came to the UK is different from the reasons Pakistanis initially immigrated to America/Canada. Britain was literally built on the labour of Pakistanis and other south asians after WW2. A lot of the industrialization only happened because the UK had imported migrants to work their jobs due to the western world's bad demographics.
What a stupid article!Millions of indians are facing malnourishment and starvation.....................a bunch of indians writing a report for the imf doesn't change that fact. Here is the daily telegraph from 2020. An independent British source ...........

The paper presents estimates of poverty and consumption inequality in India for each of the years from 2004-05 through 2020-21. “These estimates include, for the first time, the effect of in-kind food subsidies on poverty and inequality."
Extreme poverty in India was as low as 0.8% in 2019 and the country managed to keep it at that level in 2020 despite the unprecedented Covid-19 outbreak, by resorting to food transfers through the Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Yojana (PMGKY), according to a working paper by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The paper, titled Pandemic, Poverty & Inequality: Evidence from India observed that “post-food subsidy inequality at 0.294 is now very close to its lowest level 0.284 observed in 1993/94″. It’s authored by economists Surjit Bhalla, Karan Bhasin and Arvind Virmani.
The paper presents estimates of poverty and consumption inequality in India for each of the years from 2004-05 through 2020-21. “These estimates include, for the first time, the effect of in-kind food subsidies on poverty and inequality.”
As many as 89.1% of rural eligible households and 77.3% of urban households, with an all-India average of 84.6%, received food transfers during the pandemic through the public distribution system.
Such effective targeting of food seems to have been the most appropriate policy response to pandemic-induced poverty. The share of food in the average Indian consumption basket, according to the consumption expenditure survey of 2011-12, stands at 46%. However, for the poor, it’s upwards of 60%, according to the paper.
“The expansion of India’s food subsidy program rather than increasing cash transfers enabled the government to provide free food as per the average monthly requirement to all those who were entitled to purchase the same from the PDS system. The Food Security Act (2013) and the increased use of Aadhar accelerated the declining proportion of leakage(s) in the programme.”
The supply of free grains as part of the PMGKY scheme was initially launched for the April-June period of FY21; it was later extended till November-end, 2020. In the wake of the second wave of the pandemic, it was re-introduced in May 2021 and then got extended till FY22-end. Recently, it has been extended up to September 2022. Under the scheme, more than 81.35 crore people are eligible for 5 kg free wheat/rice per person per month, along with 1 kg free whole chana to each family per month. The latest extension would cost the government `80,000 crore.

Now please bang your head & don't waste my time. As per 2018 data Pakistan has 21.6% below poverty line at 1.9$ a say. Comprehend & cope, don't hide

She is a hypocrite. A daughter of first generation Jewish immigrants blaming other ethnic groups, when American Jews have been the most vocal social activist in US starting from the 1920s when they brought in socialist and communist ideas to the US from Europe.
they mentioned asians a couple of times, which i believe in the US means east asians.
Lol Certain state being poor, doesn't mean all states have bad indexes. I'm talking about India overall. Now you're bringing random contexts to defend anyhow.Okay. So in 2018, india had a third of the world's most malnourished and growth stunted children yet in 2022 india has eradicated extreme poverty?........
So who is lying? the indians writing for the imf or the global nutrition report?...........¹
PS According to a 2018 report, india has more poverty than Pakistan..........
Bimaru states make India poorer than Pakistan, says World Bank report
Of the 270 million people that have been categorised below the standard, 70 per cent live in rural Indian and 30 per cent in urban India.www.deccanchronicle.com
So you're done & dusted with toilet & stunting arguments. Now you've brought a new reference
Understandable.
So you're done & dusted with toilet & stunting arguments. Now you've brought a new reference
India has more poor due to population only. Poverty in proportion to population is decent like most developing nations.
I've been saying this whole time.
Don't worry. Cry & cope
