How does he know it will?

Comparing it to a tide doesn't make sense. It's like saying "this government policy is like someone who helps kittens, you know good"

Basically it's like a trick because you don't know if it will raise everyone up

There are charts which plot how many people were pulled out of poverty, it has consistently been on the increase over the years. Way more than when india was wallowing in socialist policies.

> India has achieved annual growth exceeding 7 percent over the last 15 years and continues to pull millions of people out of poverty, according to the World Bank. The country has halved its poverty rate over the past three decades and has seen strong improvements in most human development outcomes, a report by the international financial institution has found. Growth is expected to continue and the elimination of extreme poverty in the next decade is within reach, said the bank, which warned that the country's development trajectory faces considerable challenges.[1

Sorry that you find Indian poverty reduction so troubling. Scratch that, not sorry at all. Happy to see you upset
