Poverty declines at faster rate

Which years data that MPI index was showing...
if it is not 2010 it is of no value as poverty in bangladesh has reduced by this time
In one year ?,we"ll know more when a new MPI is released.
and on the other hand it has increased in the case of india...
You didn't understand my first reply to you
Even though in the index bangladesh is ahead of india even though it is only 1 position... but if you look at the intensity of MPI poverty you will see the difference... it is 53.5% for india and 50.4% for Bangladesh...
Yes!
Combining all these accept 1 fact ... inquality between rich and poor is huge and increasing in India....

CIA estimate of India's Gini coefficient was 36.8 ,but since couldn't find recent data ,one can't say its increasing
there are a certain block of rich people which has increaed the per capita gdp but average living standard is much lower... may be lowest in the south asia except afghanistan...

Living standard is a function of quality of life and HDI can be used as a parameter here,as per 2010 HDI reports India is not the lowest in South Asia.

On the other hand look at pakistan and bangladesh... here the difference between rich and poor is not that huge... n peoples are coming out of poverty line quickly... so country is developing evenly unlike india where a certain groups are becoming super rich and most of the people are dirt poor and going below poverty line...

The gini coefficients for Pakistan and Bangladesh are comparatively better than India,but not so far away.

Thanks for the link... it clearly indicates that still in terms of human development report bangladesh is better then both india and pakistan... whatever may be the difference... n in bangladesh as I said before difference between rich and poor are not that much... so is in Pakistan and in china... So, despite having 1200 USD compared to bangladeshès 751 USD india has more poor people below poverty line then bangladesh... main reason uneven distribution of wealth... as I have said before in India many people die out of poverty and hunger and farmers commit suicide for not paying debt... but you will not see these things happening in bangladesh... these are the point that I was trying to highlight... yes you said to wait until the data of 2010 comes out to see the difference... that can be done... but it will be wise if you just remind your bharti members not to come with mythical figures like Indians have 4 time better living standard then the bangladeshis...

That Link is only for Gini coefficient

Over all HDI values can be obtained from here.

... n in bangladesh as I said before difference between rich and poor are not that much... so is in Pakistan and in china
China has GC 41.5 .

... So, despite having 1200 USD compared to bangladeshès 751 USD india has more poor people below poverty line then bangladesh
I thought we were sticking to using MPI as the std estimate here.
... main reason uneven distribution of wealth
I beg to differ,for India the major reason is inability of Govt to improve agriculture sector

...
as I have said before in India many people die out of poverty and hunger
BD is on the same page as India on poverty and Hunger

As 2010 hunger index
http://www.ifpri.org/sites/default/files/publications/ghi10.pdf

and farmers commit suicide for not paying debt
Microfinancing has helped BD,hope same can be replicated for India

... but you will not see these things happening in bangladesh... these are the point that I was trying to highlight... yes you said to wait until the data of 2010 comes out to see the difference... that can be done... but it will be wise if you just remind your bharti members not to come with mythical figures like Indians have 4 time better living standard then the bangladeshis..

Ok then.
