UN Millenium Development Goals and India

BBC says :

There are at least 350 million people in India living on less than 50 pence [$1] a day. The same number again - if not more - live on less than a pound [$2] a day.

"We can make real progress," Ms Moorehead says, "if we work with a reforming Indian government to make sure some of these terrible statistics, particularly on health and education, come down."

I somehow dont buy this report completely. But thats the official view.

Media playing on the UN MDG. I saw this singing program called "Mission Ustaad" on TV in India. The judges Lara Dutta and AR Rehman come off as very smart people (low BS).

Search Youtube for these videos if you are enthu to see what its about. I like the compere too. She acted in "mouthful of sky" with Rahul Bose.
