> The annual median per capita income in India is $616

...Oh my god.

Stats like this make me realize I have no idea how lucky I am to be US born.

The income disparity is huge in India. There's obscene rich, mediocre middle class and poverty (especially in the North/Central)

It shocks me that you found out today that the average Indian doesn't earn that much.

I figured it was low. I just didn't think it was as low as three digits.
