What are you implying? That we should first ensure zero poor remain and only then start? Here's the deal just incase you didn't know Foreign Relations 101: One has to go along with everything and everyone simultaneously. There is never going to be a situation where there are no poors in any country. Because such a society simply cannot exist if it is as big as India. Maybe for a tiny city state like Brunei, Kuwait, Luxembourg etc its fine, but in a conventionally sized country and with world's second largest population, it is tough since we're slow and democratic.
Poor inside the country doesn't mean that we can sideline foreign relations especially with relevant neighbors. Diplomacy is a simultaneous process. Not a zero sum game.
No one is saying there should be no poor in India, but when leaders say 30 rupees a day is enough for majority of the Indians living in India to survive, there is a problem there.
There were arguments in the UK whether India should be given aid to fund its toilets, when it spends the most on its defense forces.
By all means, give every nation as much aid as you want to, but don't criticize others when they show how the majority of Indians live inside India.

@bilal.. report post kerne se pehle executive summary padi hai kya aapne ? Data has been taken till 2005 only. another epic failure for bilal
India Estimates: Similarly, estimates for India also indicate a continuing decline in poverty. The revised estimates suggest that the percentage of people living below $1.25 a day in 2005 (which, based on Indias PPP rate, works out to Rs 21.6 a day in urban areas and Rs 14.3 in rural areas in 2005 ) decreased from 60% in 1981 to 42% in 2005. Even at a dollar a day ( Rs 17.2 in urban areas and Rs 11.4 in rural areas in 2005 ) poverty declined from 42% to 24% over the same period.
This poverty **** addict has been busted many times and still keep using the same decade old statistics, atleast riaz haq's musing are more articulate and cleverly woven.

This is what the executive summary says
I never said the World Bank claims that India's poverty levels are 42%, or 37%. I just said that as per the World Bank 2005 statistics, 75.6% of Indians earn 2 dollars (PPP) per day, & 37.2% earn 1.25 dollars (PPP) a day. Then I posted a figure from the World Bank's 2011 report which compared the poverty in each of India's states to other countries.
Then I posted the UN's 2010 MPI chart, which said 645 million Indians (56%) were poor as per the index. I also posted a report that found out that 77% India's people earn 20 rupees or less per day.
What did I say wrong here? Why are you getting so worked up here?
didn't I busted all of your posts ??
This is 2011 not 2005
The reports that you have provided is based on data between 1994-2005.. not updated data. If you have anything which talks about toay's reality let me see.

According to Pakistans Planning Commission, poverty rate has jumped from 23.9 to 37.5 percent in the last three years. The commission has estimated that in 2005 there were 35.5 million people living below the poverty line but in 2008 their number increased to over 64 million. Consequently, unemployment has also increased.
