Worlds richest people

[tas]

Can someone explain to me why 4 of he worlds top 10 richest richest men are of Indian origin, whilst India has horrendous poverty problems. Touch of irony here........

Because those 4 people have good business brains and work ethic.

Two of them are estranged brothers who inherited most of it from their industrious father.

The sons inherited their fortune from their late father, renowned industrialist Dhirubhai Ambani. But they couldn't get along and in 2005 their mother brokered a peace settlement breaking up the family's assets.

Lakshmi Mittal spent his first years in India, living with his extended family on bare floors and rope beds in a house built by his grandfather.

They are the successful few from the multitude. Perhaps the same could be said for the likes of the Dragoins Den dullards?

Do you think the people of these countries who are middle class or rich , care about the poor ? Of course not , it's just us soft westeners.
Thats why I dont give a penny to Chritain Aid or like charity.
Until these countries stop buying arms or start to care about their own..then why should I ?

It's irony that India has horrendous poverty but at the same time Indian's are always listed among the top richest people around the Globe. In UAE Indian's are ranked among the most influential and rich personalities. You can get the list of the same on http://www.constructionweekonline.com/article-9224-top-10-richest-indians-in-the-gcc/10/. This clearly shows that with their hard work and determination can achieve the highest goal. The problem India was facing was mainly because of govt regulation which levied many rules and regulations. This restricted people from starting new venture and also restricting foreign investments. This affected the employment opportunities.
