I think it will be better if you also give data here that how what is percentage of poor in proportion of their own population. |

Most of the communities in the entire Indian sub-continent(such as Bengali) are succumbed in ‘Culture of Poverty'(Oscar Lewis), irrespective of class or economic strata, lives in pavement or apartment. Nobody is genuinely regret ed or ashamed of the deep-rooted corruption, decaying general quality of life, worst Politico-admin system, bad work place, weak mother language, continuous consumption of common social space (mental as well as physical, both). We are becoming fathers & mothers only by self-procreation, mindlessly & blindfold(supported by some lame excuses). Simply depriving their(the children) fundamental rights of a decent, caring society, fearless & dignified living. Do not ever look for any other positive alternative behaviour (values) to perform human way of parenthood, i.e. deliberately co-parenting children those are born out of ignorance, extreme poverty. It seems that all of us are being driven only by the very animal instinct. If the Bengali people ever be able to bring that genuine freedom (from vicious cycle of ‘poverty’) in their own attitude, involve themselves in ‘Production of Space’ (Henri Lefebvre), an intense attachment with the society at large - one different pathway has to create to overcome inherent 'hopeless' psyche; decent, rich Politics will definitely come up. – Siddhartha Bandyopadhyay, 16/4, Girish Banerjee Lane, Howrah-711101, India. |

Just wondering if this facts are based on the global population; since they keep saying that Haiti, Guatemala and Nicaragua are the most poor in America; and here I see Mexico and Colombia leading the numbers for this continent. |

Interesting to note the over 70% of the world's poor are located in Asia, this is a good reason why Servants to Asia's Urban poor (www.servantsasia.org) focusses on this continent. |

I would double-check those statistics. They seem to have been done by a college student. For example, look at this World Bank report:
http://www.econ.unideb.hu/oktatas_es_kutatas/doktori_iskola/download/Chen-Ravallion%20-%20How%20Have%20The%20World's%20Poorest%20Fared%20Since%20The%20Early%201980s.pdf
If you look at page 31 and compute the percentages, you can see that India has only 31.9% of the global population under $1 a day. |

The reason countries like India and China rank so high in share of all poor people is because the have a great share of all people. China for example, has roughly 20 % of all people on earth, so it isn't surprising that they also have roughly 20 % of all poor people on earth. If you want to see statistics on poverty you should see GDP per capita |

Most African nations should have more poverty than India and China. China is a lower-middle income nation, and is not considered among the world's poorest. Their income is equivalent to those in poorer Latin American nations, such as Honduras. |

Am amazed at the percentage of poor people from India. I always thought most of the worlds poor were from Africa. Interesting stats. Keep it up. |
