My personal analysis: Although world's top 10 richest people list is always made of atleast 2-3 Indians. That list is greeted happily by all the Indians and India shining propaganda is sold from there. But India is not mere those 2 or 3 people, India is whopping 1000000000 + people.
How can the prosperity of 2 people can account for 10^9 Indians.

I am not insulting/defaming/bad mouthing India, its a food for thought.

Another food for thought: Most of you, UNPians from India, are top 10% of Indians.

Statistics are meaningless and can be presented in X no. of ways.
from 15-20 years back when scooter was a luxury we Indians have come a long way.
Instead of counting millionaires how about comparing middle classes in different countries ?
