If a large number of people aren't prospering every year, there would no increasing middle class.escaped from poverty into what ? Statistics is a great tool to fiddle around with. Indeed a lot of people have escaped poverty but not into prosperity, rather into a state of vulnerability where they risk falling back into poverty incase of a major crisis. This is what we are witnessing right now.
Stats aren't about fiddling, it's the quantification of the claim which supports far better action plan than the mindless emotional rants and baseless claims in your garbage (sorry) post.
It goes with India holding a large no. of AI patents, having more advanced industries and job opportunities (doesn't matching with skill is a different case since lack of "opportunity" is a facade for unfit), Indian strain of COVID being stronger which even caused oxygen shortages initially (statistically same issue resolved for now), hunger index being over underweights in India than starving (since Indians are likely vegetarians) or Pakistani expressways being a liable commodity (India actually starting expressways in 2017 and to create 20,000 kms of them in one go in a decade against Pak's 2200). Tamil Nadu axed a large number of genuine R&D and infrastructure over unproven theories of environment which otherwise are showing up in eastern India. Further for COVID, India's neighbors are just not low in testing, they can't identify the strain.
India most certainly doesn't have living standards upto world average. But it isn't a failed fragile sh*thole what an "aam admi" cliché protestor loves to shout. It's a country in transition.
And don't go into or assume me in a political way. Ooh this, ooh that, look China, looks west, look SL, look Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Got a new stroke of shoving "can't provide basic things like oxygen" in every damn argument like an idiot (sorry again). Just read that damn argument up till end.
