From my understanding of it, it's still one ex employee's word against him, so I don't want to react till it's conclusively proven. Secondly, I'm flattered that we're being lumped together with a beautiful country like Spain! ;) Even if he did say it, unlike most urban Indians, I will not pretend that poverty is not an issue in my country. Our government plays fast and loose with the definition of poverty limits, yet even by their estimates, 170 million Indians live below the poverty line. Majority of our population only uses basic mobile phone services, with many areas of our country still bereft of mobile signals and/or 24 hours water and electricity. We will remain a poor country till the time we don't fix our fundamental issues and can guarantee basic necessities, medicines, education, and nutrition to every child born here.
