So, stupid question, but does that mean I could go to India with like $10,000 and basicaly live like a king?
$10,000 is around Rs. 4,50,000 An avarage upper middle class 'matchbox' appartmant (far from king like) little away from 'happening places' costs Rs. 17,00,000.
What most people dont realize is that india is divided economically into various classes. There are many people who earn less then $50/mo and support their family of 10. And there are those in equally large numbers who earn $1500/mo and have to support their family of 4. India is not as poor as official numbers dictate. That is because most people have double incomes. One white and one black (where taxes arent declared). Previous generation also didnt like to showoff much and their only purpose in life was to accumalte wealth. Thus adding to the image of poor indian.
