So, thanks to SMBC and KC, I learnt about the Gini coefficient: a measure of the uniformity of distribution of wealth in a country.

The following graph, taken from Wikipedia, shows that India does not do too badly...depending upon your point of view of course.
For more, look up its entry in Wikipedia.
Building stuff is boring. Much better to simply change the topic.
