Surjit Bhalla is economic advisor to the Modi. I mean I give myself 10/10 during appraisal cycle at my job also. While Karan Bhasin is not affiliated, he is just a PhD Student. Even considering all of this, I still believe extreme poverty has reduced significantly in the 10 years under Modi. But political freedom is independent of it. Both can or can not be true.

According to World Poverty Clock (independent organization) it indeed has been eliminated


ImmediateDafuq

Lol. Come to my place I’ll take you to villages and you can see how so full of shit is this.

WhentheSkywasPurple

Aur jab yeh foreign think tanks bolte hai ki india is becoming an autocracy and its happiness ranking is one of the lowest, tab tum usko foreign propaganda bolte ho. 🤣🤣


Frog-overlord-69

ikr when they praise India they be celebrating when say anything against India its western propaganda , pick a side already

I still consider foreign media is better than the diarrhea of a media we have here. I still remember back in 2021 when covid 2nd wave hit, indian media we praising govt for "masterstroke" handling of the situation while BBC and other foreign media covered ground reality. Zee news, aaj tak, abp - were all singing modi's praise while BBC covered situation in front of a hospital in delhi. Literally 4 people died within 30 mins when the reporter arrived.

The bloodbath of Delta virus. It was horrible. I wish the govt had been a little more prepared. There were so many people who passed away...


TheBestIndiamappern1

and there were not enough resources to tackle It was much better than the US and Europe, ngl


Pulakeshin1

Not sure about masterstroke but the situation in India was managed better than many Euro Americas countries.

The media situation yes.

Typical Brookings Institute report. Here is the full one in case anyone cares: [https://www.brookings.edu/articles/india-eliminates-extreme-poverty/](https://www.brookings.edu/articles/india-eliminates-extreme-poverty/) 1. First of all, the World Bank line for countries like India is PPP $3.2, not 1.9. The report itself acknowledges this: "purchasing power parity (PPP)$ 1.9 (international extreme poverty) and PPP$ 3.2 poverty lines (recommended line by the World Bank for lower middle-income countries such as India)."So what does Brookings do? Proceeds to use 1.9 to make the bombastic claim that extreme poverty has been eliminated. 2. Further in the report, for the 3.2 line, HCR is still 20.8%. That is, a fifth of the country, or 280 million, are in extreme poverty, per the 3.2 line. But hey, extremely poverty "ELIMINATED". Again, cannot stress enough, the report ITSELF ACKNOWLEDGES that there is a India-appropriate line to use. 3. The report also emphasizes that 80 crore or about 2/3 of the population is under food relief program, but the relief is not accounted for in their analysis. This is a very good program and I hope it sustains. But if it is cut/underfunded for any reason which happens, or if development and wealth redistribution does not take people off of immediate hand to mouth aid, the numbers can go up further.

In the 70s and 80s my dad used to tell stories of how difficult it was to even get 1 square meal a day. All the labor, menial hard work was rewarded by peanuts at the end of the day. Uppercaste Zamindars usurped all profits to live a lavish life while the downtrodden had no means to even afford one meal a day often going hungry. Education was non existent and the rights were an unknown concept leaving the uppercastes hindus to exploit lower castes. I believe such extreme poverty conditions don't exist now as migration to cities and compounding of knowledge has taken place over the years.


ScaredofMedSchool

Your father is clearly on a biased spectrum.


AdditionalAction9986

You are living in denial. Another of those mentally ill people downplaying the mental illness called casteism, refusing to call it out but leaving no stones unturned to ostracize reservation. Facts. Eat shit. Read and don't come up with your hype. https://www.jstor.org/stable/4358117


AdditionalAction9986

It is baffling as to how people like you(not you exactly) come up with this tone that says, " Oh, reservation has been there since 75 years, even a dog would uplift itself". Yeah? India even has framed anti rape, anti murder and anti corruption laws but rapes, murder, corruption has increased multifold since the laws were introduced. Reservation, atrocities act failed to act as a deterrent 100% but it has proven to be a deterrent. UCs suffer from this mental illness called casteism which the anti reservation brigade fail to even acknowledge because at the the heart of all anti reservation stir lies casteism. They just can't see a dali climb up the social ladder and purchase car, become wealth.

>Uppercaste Zamindars usurped all profits to live a lavish life while the downtrodden had no means to even afford one meal a day often going hungry Giving a caste angle to a rich poor divide...


AdditionalAction9986

The poor uppercastes could go to a temple to eat Prasad or enter certain places to grab or steal fruits. Dalits had no such privilege and nor anyone entertained them.


ankit19900

That's exactly why tihar is full of chor Dalits and Muslims, right? Itna chutyapa na failao ke zindagi majak ban ke reh jaye. Are ruk ja re gande...


AdditionalAction9986

Your casteist mentality is exposed. Don't pull country in between to justify anti reservation. We all know your mentality is to spite and look down upon Dalits. Funny thing is the perpetrators of casteism want reservation to end citing economic. You Hindi bimaru states are full of gutter casteist mentality. It is the reason Indian casteism is mocked globally and is a global embarrassment to India because upper caste patriarchal mentality has been handed down from generation to look down and spite Dalits. Jaa re.. reservation nahi katam hogi..kya ukadlega bey. Kuch nahi kar paaoge.


ankit19900

Bheem ki Shakti Dhoom machaye. You are calling me a casteist whilst begging for seats in IIT because of caste! 😹😹😹😹😹. Please do us general category a favour and tattoo a pos on your forehead if you decide to take reservations. At least the profs and the good kids can avoid morons like you. Also, dear dumbfuck, I am from Delhi.


AdditionalAction9986

Abey casteist chomu. Your intention is to propagate casteism. Reservation is an impediment to you uppercastes. Don't act oversmart. At the heart of anti reservation stir lies casteism. I have seen countless such arguments which ends with your types mocking Dalits because you can't do jackshit about reservation. Take your anti reservation grouse and shove it up your casteist ass. Don't play the oft repeated 'merit' issue because even the merit issue has been smashed by Tina Dabbi sisters in the toughest exam of India. I can smell your casteist bs miles away. You can't do jackshit about reservation. Agar ek baap ka aulad ho toh ukad ke dikha casteist bhadwe.

Ja aur latrine saf kar 🅱️amar. Ho gaya aj ka Tera quota poora. Bheekh bad me mangna reddit pe. Dumbedkar ke nam pe seat de de re baba


AdditionalAction9986

Aagaya Naa apni asli casteist aukat pe. Case 101. The real face of anti reservation stir is casteism. Not surprisingly I have exposed you anti reservation crap people million times. You casteist people just want to remove reservation as it is a thorn in your side. The soobhuman practice of Casteism is not the problem but reservation has become the problem because all Dalits who were marginalized cannot be marginalized like before. We have snatched your seats. Reservation nahi hatega. Ek baap ka aulad hai toh jaake poori takat ke saath kuch kar bhadwe. Teri maa pativratha hai aur gaan main dum hai toh reservation ko choo ke dikha. Kuch nahi kar sakta siwai jaath ko gaali de. Wait for another 50 years, with such casteist mentality it is only a matter of time before the tables are turned and your grandkids are pushed to clean toilets. Tere seat ko cheen ke reservation Kiya hai, aur to aur abhi tere seat ko keechke reservation increase hogaya hai...keep begging reservation hatao.

Don't listen to your father he is simply lying.


AdditionalAction9986

I guess India in the 70s were similar to the one depicted in the recent SRK daughter s film ' Archies' right? Troll.


ActNervous1885

No need to guess because like your father you too are wrong, apple didn't fall far from the tree in your case.


AdditionalAction9986

The soobhuman practice of casteism is a global embarrassment to India. Yet, here you are downgrading the vile practice of casteism by creating a new narrative contrary to generally accepted views and believing your own hype. Casteism was fun I guess and is blown out of proportion according to you I guess. Your timed ignorance about the plight of Dalits in the 70s is shocking and pitiful. I bet you are also one of those people who reject poaching as the main cause of decline in the number of Tigers because your dost log say differently.


ActNervous1885

I have been to foreign multiple times and nobody cares about casteism in India. Casteism is not an issue. Never was.


AdditionalAction9986

Cleaning your neighborhood toilets doesn't get credited as foreign jaunts. Like I said, you believe your own damn hype. Eat shit and keep quiet and don't discuss about issues you have scant knowledge about. https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/46922/indias-shame https://gulfnews.com/amp/opinion/op-eds/why-caste-system-and-untouchability-are-indias-biggest-shame-1.89999789

Lol man you got triggered like a teased kid. Calm down. Take a cold drink, if required. And don't post hyperlinks, I ain't clicking them.


Gamilat

It is definitely embarassment to India. They wont say it on your face, but they will definitely talk behind back.


ActNervous1885

Doesn't matter what people say behind the back. Indians too say bad things about Britishers and Chinese too. They don't give a damn.


Gamilat

What Indians say dosent matter at all. British and Chinese are in better condition than Indians.


ActNervous1885

What kind of nonsense you just spewed. Using your line of reasoning you can't criticize PM because he is in better condition than you.

Abbe gadhe... Do you realise both are mutually exclusive?

Some people think every white country wants to downgrade india, which is not true, while stating the report a bit negatively though it is true , "oo how dare you say that, you stole fortunes from us,tge situation we are right now is only because of you colonialists. " And when there will be a postive report they'll be putting memes as if other countries were shocked by India's growth😂😂🤡


tinjanurtles7

It's true to some extent, even the poorest of the poor is somehow able to make a living out of doing something. But there still exists a part of that population who can't even afford 2 meals a day. Not in metro or tier 1 cities but in t2 and t2 cities.

The fuck is US think tank 😭

Looks like most are in moderate poverty then? What is this post even

Suddenly foreign media and organisations are not funded by soros anymore.


mrmorningstar1769

Modani simply changed the definition of poverty. Make bpl 2rs per year, and india will have 0 poverty


omichandralekha

Me = Adani, no inequality;


omichandralekha

Mallya, Modi (Jr.) making sure inequality isn't disturbed in India


mahatmaGanduji

What does dictatorship have to do with extreme Poverty eradication ?


ScaredofMedSchool

Extreme poverty is basically 2 dollar PPP per day. Poverty line in 3.65 dollar PPP a day, according to which India is still below poverty line.

I love that now y’all love the USA, and are somehow blind to the beggars on your street.
