The wealthy in India grew richer during the Covid-19 pandemic crisis, while millions went to bed without food, says the latest Oxfam International report.
The annual report, published just ahead of last week’s World Economic Forum in Davos, noted that Indian billionaires increased their wealth by 35 percent in 2020 when the world struggled against the pandemic.
During 2020 wealth increased globally to make the world’s billionaire elite richer, said Oxfam, a confederation of 20 independent charitable organizations based in Oxford, England.
