And 550 million people means more than the total population of america...

Sir, 850 MILLION people, in India, Earn LESS than a Dollar a DAY.... LACK of Basic Needs - FOOD, WATER, shelter, Schools and HEALTH-CARE services.... Can You Make CHEAP Affordable Medical Machines and on a LARGE Scale PRODUCTION... ????

Dude u need to check twice before u put any info. Ur wrong that 850 million people below poverty. 550 million people comes in middle class which means they have the purchqsing power i.e mobile , car etc u name it. Indias gdp is growing more than 5 % every year. India is lackin behind coz of corrution. Even if few % of corrution is eradicated it will make huge diff.
