Income inequality in India refers to the unequal distribution of wealth and income among its citizens. According to the CIA World Factbook, the Gini coefficient of India, which is a measure of income distribution inequality, was 0.352 in 2011, ranking 95th out of 157. Wealth distribution is also uneven, with one report estimating that 54 percent of the country's wealth is controlled by millionaires, the second highest after Russia as of November 2016.The richest 1% of Indians own 58.4% of wealth. The richest 10 % of Indians own 80.7 % of the wealth. This trend is going in the upward direction every year, which means the rich are getting richer at a much faster rate than the poor. Inequality worsened since the establishment of income tax in 1922, overtaking the British Raj's record of the share of the top 1% in national income, which was 20.7% in 1939–40.

In India only, the government employees are paid salaries which follow the pay commission and the private sector which is the largest to give employment to the common citizens does not follow the guidelines of the pay commission leading to the lack of proper wealth distribution leading to the migration to the greener pastures around the world. The Indian diaspora is one of the largest in the world and United states is also has lot of Indians who have made this country as their home.

America is a land of immigrants and Indians have made its home and are contributing to the development of the country. We find Indians in many walks of life be it IT Engineers, doctors’ businessman and workers in every walk of life. The Indian community is thriving with time and is now more visible compared to previous generation.

Indian Americans or Indo-Americans are Americans with ancestry from India. The United States Census Bureau uses the term Asian Indian to avoid confusion with Native Americans, also known as American Indians. In the Americas, historically, the term "Indian" has been most commonly used in reference to the indigenous people of the continents since European colonization in the 15th century. Qualifying terms such as "American Indian" and "East Indian" were and still are commonly used in order to avoid ambiguity. The U.S. government has since coined the term "Native American" in reference to the indigenous peoples of the United States, but terms such as "American Indian" remain popular among indigenous as well as non-indigenous populations. Since the 1980s, Indian Americans have been categorized as "Asian Indian" (within the broader subgroup of Asian American) by the United States Census Bureau.

While "East Indian" remains in use, the term "South Asian" is often chosen instead for academic and governmental purposes. Indian Americans are a subgroup of South Asian Americans, a census group that also includes Afghan Americans, Bangladeshi Americans, Bhutanese Americans, Nepalese Americans, Pakistani Americans, Burmese Americans, Sri Lankan Americans, etc.
