Income-based poverty lines consider the bare minimum income to provide basic food requirements; it does not account for other essentials such as health care and education.

Being raised in a cosmopolitan family where every other person was married into a different caste I never had a real exposure to the caste system in india.Though I vaguely remember that when I was little my grandmother used to tell me stories about ambedkar,she was an iyengar bhramin of kerela and my grand dad was from U.P. She used to tell me how bad she felt when as a child she saw,people who brought the harvest from their farm were supposed to beat drums when they came to their village,and all the village people were supposed to close doors and they were not even allowed to see their shadows.She said she never understood as to how the people who were feeding them were treated so badly.

I wrote arvindji a big letter,open letter to which he never replied.The letter is stil...
