India has more poor people than Sub-Saharan Africa in absolute terms. Hindutva fascists are so deluded, do they not go outside and see poverty with their own eyes?
Globally, extreme poverty is estimated to increase from 8.5% to 9%, representing 41 million more people living in extreme poverty in 2019. India accounts for almost 70% of this global change in extreme poverty (the revisions to the India series are explained in the What’s New document). At the $3.65 poverty line, India accounts for 40% of the slight upward revision of the global poverty rate from 23.6% to 24.1%. At the $6.85 poverty line, virtually no change is observed in global poverty estimates.
India is literally ranked 111th on the world hunger index but the BJP sarkar and World Bank will use cool metrics like multi-dimensional poverty index where caloric deficit and non-existent healthcare can be somewhat offset by owning a smartphone to deduce that poverty is getting better. :)

It's because the west said a few nice things about them. Colonization really wreaked havoc on a lot of brains, not just in India.
