Sansad Watch Ep 25: How India's rich are getting richer at the cost of the poor
There was drama at the World Economic Forum in Davos after a bunch of "patriotic millionaires" released a letter asking their governments to tax them more. They took this step after Oxfam released a report titled Inequality Kills. As its title suggests, the report pointed out that inequality – where the super-rich one-percenters own more wealth than the bottom 50 percent – is just getting worse.
So, in this episode, we take a look at what the data says about India and who gained the most during the pandemic. No spoilers here, because it's exactly who you think it is.
Watch.
