Well presented. It's easy to understand how & why the "golden bird" (sone ki chidiya) that was India till 1700s now has a segment of population that is poorer - in sheer magnitude as well as intensity - than that of 26 sub-Saharan African countries. This poverty also bred illiteracy and a population explosion as downstream effects with which India is still grappling. Thank you Brittanica!
