[edit] Biased Article
Is it just me, or does this article have a 'slight' bias to it. A true encyclopedia article does not suppose to contain an opinion, simply state mere fact. The author seems to imply that the idea of "India moving to a more Western style consumer driven economy" is a DEFINITE plus for India; does that mean those who reject a materialistic lifestyle are inferior in some way? You be the judge on that.
[edit] Poverty reason for India's rank
-
- Seven of the top 10 happiest countries, according to the first 'World Map of Happiness', are from western democracies, while countries in Asia, known for their strong cultural values, family ties and collective identities surprisingly scored low — China (82), Japan (90) and Thailand (76).
-
- While Denmark's satisfaction with life index was placed at 273.33, India's was at 180. The map, claiming to be the first to illustrate international differences in happiness, placed US at 23, UK at 41 and France at 62.

[edit] Gutter inspector's report
Why does this article not have any images on the rising middle class in India? The images make India appear like some kind of a toilet. Wikindian 15:33, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
- This article is sick and disgusting.It is offensive to the highest degree. Why isn't there an article on the Standard of living in Haiti, or Lesotho, or Guatemala (all of which have significantly lower living standards than India). Why is India bashed here (by other Indians, no less)?Hkelkar 13:01, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] criterion for poverty
The criterion for poverty is 211.30 Rs for Rural India, Per month. I was surprised to read that, How can anybody manage for Rs 200 per month?
That should be atleast Rs 900 per month don't you think so? --219.91.198.10 10:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] What is the average salary of a middle-class Indian?
Does anyone know what is the average salary (in U.S. dollar) of a middle-class Indian in India now? Please provide some sources or a link. Thanks. 72.140.11.75 (talk) 02:14, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
