Subject/ Topic : (what is the article mainly discuss about?)

At the beginning of this article, it tells about the poverty of the Indian people, where these Indians have to survive to earn at least 10 shillings each week. The 10
shillings cover everything such as education, health, old age, food, clothing and shelter. This article also tells about how India hides poverty from outside countries by
making many traditional performances, but in reality the poor in India.
Main idea of each paragraph:
Paragraph 1: Poverty such as India has to be seen to be believed..
Paragraph 2: Poverty in India is made the more striking because it is highlighted by contrasts.
Paragraph 3: Smart restaurants and chauffer-driven motor-cars are very few, but the poor are everywhere.
Paragraph 4: The outsier is misled by this show and imagines that there is a great deal more wealth than the eye can see, but in reality what catches the eye is very often
not only the whole of the wealth, but more than the whole, so deep has ‘show’ wormed itself into India’s way of life
Paragraph 5: Even the villages – 85% of India’s population lives in villages – exist surrounded by ‘show’.

On a scale of 1-10, how difficult is this article for you? (1=easy, 10=difficult).
Why?
7. I think this article is neither difficult nor easy for me, because at the beginning of the article it doesn't explain what a show is. I don't know many terms like ten
shillings.
On a scale of 1-10, how good is this article for you? (1= not good, 10= very good).
Why?
7. I think it's normal, this article also tells me about how culture is in India.

Significance: (Who do you suggest this article for?)

Summary :
India is the largest democracy in the world. Indians make up one in every six men in the world, and they live on a combined weekly income of 10 shillings. The typical
Indian only gets ten shillings a week to live on, which must be used to pay for everything including food, clothing, shelter, health care, old age, and unemployment.
Additionally, one entire shilling must be taken out of this ten shillings every week, which many schoolchildren in the West receive as pocket money, in order to pay
taxes. India's level of poverty must be seen to be believed. India's poverty stands out more because contrasts are used to showcase it. Some people can sleep, live, and
die for the same price. Be 20 jewelled and gay as people exit fancy restaurants.A chauffeur-driven motor vehicle is parked next to a hand-drawn rickshaw operated by a
coolie whose bones can be seen through his skin. There aren't many upscale eateries or automobiles driven by a butler, but there are plenty of poor people. However,
despite this, the phrase India magically conjures up images of a nation of extravagant richness, maharajas, gold-plated elephants, and pricey brocades. This is because
the majority of the riches in this land of utter poverty are spent on display. The outsider is fooled by this show and thinks there is much more riches than what the eye
can see, but in reality, because of how deeply the show has ingrained itself into Indian culture, what attracts the sight is much more than just the total amount of wealth.
Even the villages, where 85% of the people in India reside, are surrounded with "show". Silver and gold jewelry is worn by village ladies. But in a country where only
one in five men can read and there are few post offices, this jewelry is the family's entire savings and the safest replacement for a savings bank.The gems are pawned
whenever money is needed, whether to buy bullocks or seeds or to wed a daughter. Weddings are extravagant events that follow tradition. The bride's father may have
to borrow an entire year's salary at outrageous interest rates for the wedding, and the money will be mostly used for the wedding feast rather than, as in the West, for
establishing the couple in their new life together.
