Please keep in mind India has one of the, if not the, largest middle class population in the world.

Indian middle class would be below poverty line by western standards. People who can barely afford a car are not middle class by world standards.

Can you verify that with some sources/stats? And what's your definition of a "middle class" in India?

Presumably using the definition of spending $4 to $6 a day.

However, there are other estimations around that make India's middle class much smaller, say ~25M
