The writer is trying to clearly compare with a super power and the real least undeveloped continent in the world. India is a super power from outside which they can be proud of but are real hollow from inside wich they need to work on.  China has more population than india, how come china does not have the same proverty rate. There is proverty in China too, but for sure it is not in such a drastic size like in india. The ratio of proverty and and number looks so unhuman.  People and goverment in india need to work on this issue of their own people before thinking about rocket science. Look at the ground before flying in the sky.
