True, but the same could be said about a number of other countries. If you filter out the large cities, you'll find a much different picture as a whole.
Based on some quick googling, it looks like India overall has roughly a 23% poverty rate. Where the US has about 15%, and Canada about 17%. Going across the pond, the poverty rate in the UK is at roughly the same as India..
As for Turkey, its not the Turkish government thats the problem. its the terrorists coming out of Syria/Iraq.
