Diversity - more than meets the eye

India is always seen as the land of diversity. From high mountains to sea, from world's wettest to driest places, from dense jungles to vast deserts, from thickly populated areas to remotest areas, from -40 C to +50 C. 16 official languages to one common business language. She is simply amazing. This is true of the economy as well. India is attracting the close attention of some of the most expensive brands in the world just as ironically the poor vie for bare minimal calorie intake for survival. This may make people smile with $$$ signs blinking as almost 8 millions earn as much as $46k+, a size that is more than the population of Singapore. Another 16m earn $ 30k+, a size comparable to the poulation of Australia. Paradoxically 748m earn almost 50% of what the poorest zone, Sub Saharan Africa earns...... India produces amongst the highest number of engineers in the world just as much that most number of illetrates are added every year in the world in this very country.
