@NITINKML @dvijmankad Many graphs in a forthcoming book. One number think about. In 2019, a family of four in the bottom 50 percent lived on 6000 rupees or less per month. Some of us might spend that for a family lunch at Leela Palace. We can quibble about the exact # but COVID made things much worse.

@NITINKML @dvijmankad You asked what the graph of the bottom 50 percent looks like. I tried to explain that. You should of course interpret it the way you see fit.

@NITINKML @dvijmankad The bottom 50 percent’s wealth increased at a snail’s pace. People moved from barbarous poverty to precarious living. One job loss or illness or death in the family, they were back in dire poverty. Farmer suicides were the gross manifestation. COVID exposed that precariousness.
