    India: World's second most unequal country
  • In a report published in September this year, India occupied the second spot in a global chart that recorded the world's most unequal countries in terms of wealth distribution.

    Decreasing wealth owned by India's middle and lower class

  • "The higher the proportion the more unequal the country is. For instance, if millionaires control over 50 per cent of a country's wealth, then there is very little space for a meaningful middle class," said a report by Johannesburg-based wealth research firm New World Wealth.
