&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Far from pushing for social and economic equality, the state is fanning systems and principles to strengthen the divide&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The latest edition of the World Inequality Report (&lt;a href=&quot;https://bit.ly/3Fx8vv4&quot;&gt;https://bit.ly/3Fx8vv4&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;https://bit.ly/3EvazlY&quot;&gt;https://bit.ly/3EvazlY&lt;/a&gt;) has confirmed that the world continues to sprint down the path of inequality. &amp;ldquo;Global multimillionaires have captured a disproportionate share of global wealth growth over the past several decades: the top 1% took 38% of all additional wealth accumulated since the mid-1990s, whereas the bottom 50% captured just 2% of it.&amp;rdquo; India&amp;rsquo;s case is particularly stark. The foreword by Nobel laureate economists, Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo, says, &amp;ldquo;India is now among the most unequal countries in the world.&amp;rdquo; This means that the gap between the top 1% and the bottom 50% is widest for India among the major economies in the world. The gap is wider in India than the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Russia and France.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Poverty has persisted&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;The journey of this inequality over time reveals that &amp;ldquo;socialist-inspired Five Year plans contributed&amp;rdquo; to reducing the share of the top 10% who had 50% of the income under colonial rule, to 35%-40% in the early decades after Independence. However, since the mid-1980s, deregulation and liberalisation policies have led to &amp;ldquo;one of the most extreme increases in income and wealth inequality observed in the world&amp;rdquo;. While the top 1% has majorly profited from economic reforms, growth among low- and middle-income groups has been relatively slow, and poverty has persisted.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In recent years, on the economic front, India, post-2014, seems to have got into a phase of an even greater reliance on big business and privatisation to fix economics and the result has been to beget even more inequality. The latest World Inequality Report firmly concludes that the &amp;ldquo;bottom 50% share has gone down to 13%. India stands out as a poor and very unequal country, with an affluent elite&amp;rdquo;.&lt;/p&gt;

<p style="text-align:justify"><em>Far from pushing for social and economic equality, the state is fanning systems and principles to strengthen the divide</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The latest edition of the World Inequality Report (<a href="https://bit.ly/3Fx8vv4">https://bit.ly/3Fx8vv4</a> and <a href="https://bit.ly/3EvazlY">https://bit.ly/3EvazlY</a>) has confirmed that the world continues to sprint down the path of inequality. &ldquo;Global multimillionaires have captured a disproportionate share of global wealth growth over the past several decades: the top 1% took 38% of all additional wealth accumulated since the mid-1990s, whereas the bottom 50% captured just 2% of it.&rdquo; India&rsquo;s case is particularly stark. The foreword by Nobel laureate economists, Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo, says, &ldquo;India is now among the most unequal countries in the world.&rdquo; This means that the gap between the top 1% and the bottom 50% is widest for India among the major economies in the world. The gap is wider in India than the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Russia and France.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify"><em>Poverty has persisted</em></p>

<p style="text-align:justify">The journey of this inequality over time reveals that &ldquo;socialist-inspired Five Year plans contributed&rdquo; to reducing the share of the top 10% who had 50% of the income under colonial rule, to 35%-40% in the early decades after Independence. However, since the mid-1980s, deregulation and liberalisation policies have led to &ldquo;one of the most extreme increases in income and wealth inequality observed in the world&rdquo;. While the top 1% has majorly profited from economic reforms, growth among low- and middle-income groups has been relatively slow, and poverty has persisted.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify">In recent years, on the economic front, India, post-2014, seems to have got into a phase of an even greater reliance on big business and privatisation to fix economics and the result has been to beget even more inequality. The latest World Inequality Report firmly concludes that the &ldquo;bottom 50% share has gone down to 13%. India stands out as a poor and very unequal country, with an affluent elite&rdquo;.</p>

The cold truth about India’s income inequality -Seema Chishti

-The Hindu Far from pushing for social and economic equality, the state is fanning systems and principles to strengthen the divide The latest edition of the World Inequality Report (https://bit.ly/3Fx8vv4 and https://bit.ly/3EvazlY) has confirmed that the world continues to sprint down the path of inequality. “Global multimillionaires have captured a disproportionate share of global wealth growth over the past several decades: the top 1% took 38% of all additional wealth accumulated since the mid-1990s, whereas the bottom 50% captured just 2% of it.” India’s case is particularly stark. The foreword by Nobel laureate economists, Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo, says, “India is now among the most unequal countries in the world.” This means that the gap between the top 1% and the bottom 50% is widest for India among the major economies in the world. The gap is wider in India than the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Russia and France. Poverty has persisted The journey of this inequality over time reveals that “socialist-inspired Five Year plans contributed” to reducing the share of the top 10% who had 50% of the income under colonial rule, to 35%-40% in the early decades after Independence. However, since the mid-1980s, deregulation and liberalisation policies have led to “one of the most extreme increases in income and wealth inequality observed in the world”. While the top 1% has majorly profited from economic reforms, growth among low- and middle-income groups has been relatively slow, and poverty has persisted. In recent years, on the economic front, India, post-2014, seems to have got into a phase of an even greater reliance on big business and privatisation to fix economics and the result has been to beget even more inequality. The latest World Inequality Report firmly concludes that the “bottom 50% share has gone down to 13%. India stands out as a poor and very unequal country, with an affluent elite”.
