IS EVERY INDIAN BORN POOR

I  am one person who gets annoyed on getting any thing free ,as a gesture of indirectly saying you don’t have the power of purchasing. yes  the type of concessions and freebies given to people on the pretext that they are poor or below poverty line.
well  I was also getting disturbed with the statistics as how many are below poverty  line? And equally disgusted when some one said as long as we remain in power ,we would continue giving freebies,and yet another person quoting it’s not the governments job to give things free of cost to people who are starving. Well ,India being the 2nd highly
 populated country has a growth rate hovering around1.5% ,thou there was a slight dip  to 2006, it remains more or less at that static point, yet another interesting statistic is that the % of people living below poverty line is a clear flat line since 2002 at 25%,while the global figures indicate that this is around 51%, the highest in the world,
Well let’s see what positive changes have happened in these days, ,there has been a consistent  increase in the number of women taking up employment in small and big sector. Previously one man used to earn and there were ten mouths to feed, to day the family size is shrunk and you have more earning members in each family. Every family  at least owns a motor cycle ,which was a dream for many. the statistics also points that 40 million people are added every year in the middle income group and a majority of Indians would become middle class, I don’t know whether there is a slide from high income group to middle income group, because if the later statement is true than there should be a decrease in the below poverty line group.
So there looks some thing radically  wrong some were and I can only guess that every Indian born should only be poor ,yeah while iam just writing this I just hear one more announcement made for yet another freebie. Well this time it’s a baby,why should people be subjected to this hard ship of bearing one. At last the government has turned into a breeding ground for lazineees
