Oh, So visiting/vacationing at a country is the most reliable indicator of how an economy works, right? Awesome, I wish I would have known that sooner.
If you *had* actually been to India, you'd know that this idiotic stereotype that you're busy spouting bears no relation to reality. You'd also know that the country has changed drastically even in the last ten years - not necessarily for the better, but certainly for the richer. If you seriously think for one minute that you can know all there is to know about a country by looking at the pretty colour photos in Newsweek then you must be... a typical American.

Nice elitist european attitude you have there, to bad europe is all bark and no bite these days but i disgress.

Oh and heres a link:

From the article, it states that 'the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer', now in a nation where thier population doubles every 50 years that shouldnt be surprising. Even African nations have showed some imrovements but thier economy like India gets sucked back in by thier growing population.

btw The author of the article is a Indian man who has lived in India, so if you dont mind im taking his word over yours.
