70% of Indians are below the poverty line.......Where did you get this statistic???

Didn't seem that way to me at all......I visited India recently ...and I tell you....it's nothing like Slumdog Millionaire.

Yes, you do have the slums and all, but alongside you have these posh houses, luxury cars, along with domestic help and what not. I had a chance to visit some malls......branded items were flying off the shelf, families eating out in fancy restaurants. For a country that's supposed to be poor, it's rather strange.

I think India should stop getting aid. They can very well manage on their own.
