India is suddenly in the news for all the wrong reasons. It is now hitting the headlines as one of the most unequal countries in the world, whether one measures inequality on the basis of income or wealth.
So how unequal is India? As the economist Branko Milanovic says: “The question is simple, the answer is not.” Based on the new India Human Development Survey (IHDS), which provides data on income inequality for the first time, India scores a level of income equality lower than Russia, the United States, China and Brazil, and more egalitarian than only South Africa.
According to a report by the Johannesburg-based company New World Wealth, India is the second-most unequal country globally, with millionaires controlling 54% of its wealth. With a total individual wealth of $5,600 billion, it’s among the 10 richest countries in the world – and yet the average Indian is relatively poor.
Compare this with Japan, the most equal country in the world, where according to the report millionaires control only 22% of total wealth.
In India, the richest 1% own 53% of the country’s wealth, according to the latest data from Credit Suisse. The richest 5% own 68.6%, while the top 10% have 76.3%. At the other end of the pyramid, the poorer half jostles for a mere 4.1% of national wealth.
What’s more, things are getting better for the rich. The Credit Suisse data shows that India’s richest 1% owned just 36.8% of the country’s wealth in 2000, while the share of the top 10% was 65.9%. Since then they have steadily increased their share of the pie. The share of the top 1% now exceeds 50%.
This is far ahead of the United States, where the richest 1% own 37.3% of total wealth. But India’s finest still have a long way to go before they match Russia, where the top 1% own a stupendous 70.3% of the country’s wealth.

The tall thin container has more water.
Explanation:
According to psychologist Jean Piaget, conservation refers to the logical thinking ability that allows a person to complete that a positive quantity will remain the same against adjustment of the container shape or apparent size. This ability develop in the concrete stage at the age of 7 to 11. The conservation task is to test a child's ability to see that some properties are conserved or invariant after an object undergoes a physical transformation. Piaget purposed that children's inability to conserve is due to weakness in the way children think during the preoperational stage. This stage is characterized by children focusing on a single, saliant dimension of the height or length while ignoring other important aspects of the objects.
a. True.
This process is called <em>affirmative action</em>.
It is the idea that, when a student applies for university admission, several factors should be taken into account in addition to their results, such as institutional obstacles or barriers (namely, racial or ethnic discrimination) they might have had to overcome.
The intention behind affirmative action in favor of Native Hawaiians would be to promote diversity in the university's population, by reflecting the importance of Native Hawaiians as a part of the population.
