Detailed Solution

The major reasons for poverty in India are the British colonial administration, population explosion and slow growth of the economy.
The British colonial administration stole every ounce of money and jewels from India. They left India in extreme poverty, which is still prevalent in various sections of India. A critical reason also could be the population explosion which only created a burden on the economy, and people below the poverty line have no other option but to live in poverty without getting rid of it for their whole lives now. The economy's slow growth left many unemployed without economic stability to support their families. They have to struggle daily to earn 2 square meals a day.
