This tends be my view on the article. If you read far enough, its pretty obvious there's still a lot of "high poverty". Although the article title is extreme sounding, is seems like its mostly making the argument that India needs to shift focus on the "poverty scale." And there's the "it's relative" issue, that mostly Americans and Europeans would look at India, and it would not even equate with "poverty." The article is talking about the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty "international extreme poverty" definition which is: "you survive on $1.90/day".
