India's Gini Coefficient seems to have moved in the right direction, at least from 1951-1992.

see second chart from bottom

Also note another data point for India, China and USA for 1991 to compare with the data posted earlier for 2004.

1991 Gini Coefficient vs 2004 [2004 figures from post above]
India 32.53 v 32.5
China 36.20 v 44.7
USA 37.94 v 40.8

Source: ibid., second table from bottom

So China has lost more ground than either USA or India since 1991 in the fight against inequality.
