Well, we in India knew this already. The DS run world media networks and indices kept hiding it to influence local politics. Now it is time they no longer can. Extreme poverty in India has been eradicated as per World Bank International, USD based standards. Not even our rupee based or local standard. And as for poverty, in 2013 - India had 50% poverty according to World Bank. 2024 it was just 15%. Huge reduction in poverty in just a decade. Monumental achievement bringing hundreds of millions out of poverty by India. When it was China in 2010s, the whole world celebrated and commeded their achievement using their own numbers due to China's sponsorship of DS media. For India, a democracy with a lot of issues faced by govt implementing economic reforms, where numbers and estimates can be done by anyone, they find it even hard to even acknowledge. Anyway, this is for the naysayers and pessimists in India who only trust the Economist and other DS media about India. Go read the report if you want. India has eradicated extreme poverty and reduced overall poverty by a whopping 35% in just 10 years. Give some credit where it is due. After all, it is your country.
