Vera, colour of skin has nothing to do with poverty. We have dark skinned people who are stinking rich and fair skinned-very poor. Whites of Europe did exploit people of colour, at one time, but now their own people are exploiting them. The only colour that matters is -grey matter- how you use your intelligence to enhance your position in the society. Lots of incentives are given to poor people, in India, but as I stated in my earlier post, some people make poor choices and land in debt. I work with below poverty line kids and adults, in the rural Punjab, as a part of my job and my post is the inference of that work.
