Get your facts right. The current %age of population living below "poverty line" is 26% according to the census in 2001 (http://in.rediff.com/money/2005/apr/16guest.htm). We all know how much has changed since then. I won't be surprised if its hovering below 25% in 2006. A far cry from your head-in-butt 50%. Moreover, exchange rate is not the only indicative of living standards. I can easily afford a far better lifestyle (maids + chauffeurs + gardeners + cooks etc) in India for a 80K/month salary that I cannot get in US for an 80K/year salary. Sucks, isn't it? ./h
