We are Richie Rich....

         Our Dear PM,FM,HM ... (No they are not radio channels but they are all remote controlled robots play the role of heads of a superpower called India i.e Bharat i.e Hindustan i.e ????)..... said that the poverty has come down....I am thoroughly confused, what does it mean???? Is it because the money in the Swiss bank is tripled or many people died in Kedarnath????.....or the regular deaths of hunger increase as one time meal is also a luxury now for many families....(Though Mr Raj Babbar gets the meal only at Rs 12/- ,Mr Rashid Massod at only Rs 5/- and Mr Farooq Abdulla at Rs 1/-)??????

        Who gives us these figures? what is the definition of poverty line? Can anybody really explain it to a layman like me who doesn’t know the terminolgies such as fiscal deficit. How does one define the poverty line in India?  Which yardsticks is used, either in terms of the food that money can buy or in terms of defining who the poor are. As per the definition “The poverty threshold, or poverty line, is the minimum level of income deemed adequate in a given country. Determining the poverty line is usually done by finding the total cost of all the essential resources that an average human adult consumes in one year. The largest of these expenses is typically the rent required to live in an apartment, so historically, economists have paid particular attention to the real estate market and housing prices as a strong poverty line affecter.”

        This means Rs 33/- per day includes food & stay,(other daily expenses as the medical,electricity,telephone expenditure is not included in this) so as per Mr Babbar  Rs 24 requires for two time meal and still you are left with a hefty sum of Rs9/- for your rent and if you eat only once then you can live in an multi-facilitate apartment .you will be healthy and wealthy….You are so lucky ….

we are a rich country
