WHERE DO INDIANS LIVE ?
Quoting latest Census data, Economic Times [16 July 2011] provides following figures :
- In rural areas
· 833 Million [68.9 % in 2011 as against 72.2 % in 2001]
- In urban areas
· 377 Million [ 31.1 % in 2011 as against 27.8 % in 2001]
Census does not say in what kind of houses do urban people live.
Most likely in slums, considering that a 1 BHK flat in Mumbai costs upward of Rs 50 lakhs – more than 50 years of salary for most !
