It would look less shocking once one understand US poorest 5% are equal to India's richest 5%

Also interesting.. but it took me a minute to figure out how to sync this info with the article... the article is for net worth, and this is for income. It is surprising how little the top 5% Indians earn.. I actually had to verify it to believe it.


In terms of money perhaps, but in terms of life security, leisure time, etc I am in doubt the comparison really holds.
