Answer 15

you are definitely not from India, else you would have worded your question differently. India is a country of contrast. the richest men are Indians and the country has the potential to carry on with an awesome GDP growth of 10% and more for decades. yet ironically there are at least 20% indians who cannot afford two square meals a day. under the circumstances hard to say whether india is poor, but what is certain is it is badly administered, with corrupt politicians, indifferent  and extremely corrupt bueracy hence the dicotamy.

Answer 16

errrrrrrrrr yes.

Answer 17

no, but it has a really high inequality. like there are people who can afford to buy the most expensive jewelries and whatnot, but a lot more who cannot afford to eat 3x a day.

Answer 19

Answer 20

The media say such thing to you to please their audience, but not always the media tell the whole story about such topic. Maybe the media in your country says that the country is poor, but there are a growing economic boom in India today. It is true that India is a poor country, but to say that India is the way how the TV shows to you is  untrue. There is poverty line in India, but the major cities in India have a big market places and it is the land of cinema called Bollywood.
