Gini index is widely used in the study of inequality of income distribution. In-the present paper we give a definition of the Gini index in the Bivariate set-up and look into the problem of characterizing probability distributions based on some relationship between this index and various other commonly used measures. We also generalized the Gini index to a situation where several attributes of the population are considered.
