Too cheap things in India,you are lucky, but how is the daily income for the poor and rich? Humm.. Some things are cheap but other things are not. A liter of Petrol costs 60 INR =1.33 $ , Average house rent per month is over 100$ Per capita income is around 250$ per month. So people spend most of their income on Petrol and Accommodation . Poor- rich thing is very difficult to calculate in India 25% of Indians live below 1$ per day line , Majority of them being farmers and Agricultural Laborers . Again none of the 1$ is spent on Food, because either they grow it or get it as part of their employment. Poverty differs from state to state. Some states have as high as 50% BPL , some have 2.5% . However there are 54 Billionaire in India , almost all of them made it from scratch(Not from Royal birth or from Petroleum). One interesting example being – My father runs a small Business , where he employs 1 or 2 People . A person who had joined newly, was getting 2000Rs(45$) per month . One would think he is poor. But actually he is a Crorepati(Millionaire). He stands to inherit 30×40 plots in the business district of the city, average cost being 2 Crores (Half a million $) . Since he was not educated, he was getting just 45$ per month . I have seen many such cases. I have seen cases where in People take "Low Income Certificates" to get rebates in Children education and during buying of land .
