When China reduced people in poverty by 220 million between 1978 and 2004, the world applauded this as the greatest poverty reduction in history. Amartya Sen, Joseph Stiglitz and all other poverty specialists cheered. India has just reduced its number of poor from 407 million to 269 million, a fall of 138 million in seven years between 2004-05 and 2011-12 . This is faster than China's poverty reduction rate at a comparable stage of development, though for a much shorter period. Are the China-cheerers hailing India for doing even better? No, many who hailed China are today rubbishing the Indian achievement as meaningless or statistically fudged. This includes the left, many NGOs and some TV anchors. The double standard is startling. The Tendulkar Committee determined India's poverty definition. The Tendulkar poverty line in 2011-12 came to Rs 4,000 per rural and Rs 5,000 per urban family of five.  Which of the following questions will be the most relevant to ask the writer, if you were to interview him? OPTIONS     1) Why has the Indian government not been lauded for alleviating 138 million people from poverty?   2) What was the poverty line determined by China in terms of purchasing power parity?   3) How many nations in the world accept Rs. 4,000 and Rs.5,000 as the poverty line in purchasing power parity terms?   4) What is the poverty line decided by United Nations, World Bank and other such international agencies in purchasing power parity terms? discuss | yesterday's solution | more questions Tip of the Day If one of the angles in a cyclic quadrilateral is right angled, then the diagonal of the quadrilateral will be the diameter of the circle. more tips Last year's Question of the day (23-Oct-12) Out of the students attending a school party, 60% of the students are girls, and 40% of the students like to dance.
