This
paper explores why the official poverty
estimates show decline in poverty in India
over the 1990s, whereas all other economic
and social indicators suggest that absolute
poverty is high. The former do not capture
the true picture because the official
method involves the 'fallacy of equivocation'.
It is also argued that when actual rural
poverty is as high as nearly four-fifths
of the population and poverty depth is
increasing, there is an urgent need to
revert to a demand-driven universal public
distribution system.
