Man you can't compare the number of poor in America to the number of poor in India. In places like Calcutta poverty is just as bad as some places in Africa if not worse. In India itself there are a lot of classes. Some people are treated as though they are not humans. Heck some classes are not aloud to marry into another class. So poverty and the class system has forced many Indians to go else where and live their lives and hence they settled to places like Tanzania
