Speaking at an industry conference, the Indian leader addressed some of India's most powerful and influential businessmen. He told them the plight of the poor shouldn't be forgotten whilst making profits.

India's economic growth has created wealth for many in India's cities. It's given birth to a consuming class here who want to spend their hard earned cash in the brand new malls that have sprung up across the country.

But that wealth has yet to trickle down to Indian villages where over sixty percent of Indians live. Millions of India's farmers still live on less than two dollars a day. This growing income inequality is fuelling resentment, giving rise to a fury that has manifested itself in demonstrations and protests across India.
