Usually the OP's posts are in favor of India. I hope OP realizes what he shared shows the wealth gap in India. Private wealth(in hands of some people) is 8.1 T$. Also the household wealth per person is just taking that private wealth and dividing it by population, just a very poor way to simplify things. This DOES NOT mean every adult indian owns 6k of wealth. There is alot of wealth in-equality in the world and especially very vigorous in India. Does Indians feel rich compared to Saudis who have household wealth/p of 977 $? Does Indian's feel wealthy compared to Swiss, Danes, Swedes, Norwegians who have household wealth/p of 3600 $, 1300 $, 1900 $, 1200 $ respectively? Of-course not sure some rich indians, but majority of Indian, live in slums, shit on streets and die on roads.

You and I both know it is not true. Even though as a British, I love to see it is true.
The fact of the matter is this is talking about individuals with vast wealth. In that case it merely reflect that more wealth is concentrated in fewer hands in the UK. Similarly, India has probably world most uneven distribution of the wealth. Like recently stated that only few families I think figure was 9 control as much wealth as 60% of Indians. Now that is worrying.
It doesn't make India a wealthy nation, it makes some of its individuals very wealthy, feeding off the poor.
