India saw one of the sharpest rises in suffering around the world in 2012, with one in every fourth Indian suffering as a result of deteriorating economic conditions, a recent survey by US-based Gallup showed on Wednesday.
The number of people in the category suffering more than doubled in 2010-12 from that in 2008-10. The survey showed average suffering rose from 10 per cent in 2006-08 to 23 per cent in 2010-12. “The massive increase in suffering among South Asians is largely attributable to negative developments in India, the region’s giant,” Gallup said in a report.
