and your point is ....

Compared to the rest of the world this guy is going to be living high on the hog. Therefore, I don't understand why so many people are putting him down.

i dont know how you can compare the value of 8$ to what 8$ means in india

8 dollars is 400 rupees in india, your average rent is around hmm is i wanna say 3 thousand rupeees(60 dollars)

8 dollars here for someone who has to pay ~500 for a house has much less value


400/3000 > 8/500 last i checked


that beng said, no one is trying to put him down

In any event the per capita GDP of India is:

GDP - per capita:

purchasing power parity - $2,600 (2002 est.)

Purchasing power parity means that the average dude in India has the equivalent standard of living that someone making $2,600 a year here would have.
