The Rich, The Poor, The betweens....The India

India is a land of myths and magics. You would surely think if anyone still belives in those in the 21st century. Yes, the myths and magic is still there. With the only difference that our ruling class are the greatest magicians.

One of the greatest myths of the last year was India is the country least affected by global recession. None of our multimillion companies closed down. No massive firing took place. Everyone continued working may be with some small pay cuts in their huge pay slips.
Now the companies started their recruitments once again. Markets have gone up. Everything looks rosy again.

I came to the office this morning to see this clipping.

I hate Times of India and read it only when I need a sexual boost. But this thing seems more than authentic.

According to United Nations Department for Economic and Social Affairs the number of poor in India had gone up by 34 million during the 2009

But as long as our Ambanis , Subratas and Premjis stay rich, I don’t think we have a reason to panic, do we? Everything is fine as long as they stay in Forbe’s list.
I don’t think our upper middle class is affected too. Since they generate most of the taxes and form up bulk of the customers for media, government and media has to keep them happy always. No questions about that.
So who cares about the poor who has to eat junk because of the rising food prices? The good thing about the number of jobless going up is we can use them for menial job s that too for low wages. The slight irritation is they might turn to crime and violence. But we have a strong police force to handle them, don’t we?
So let’s sell up our PSUs to the rich so that they can increase the prices of essential commodities and make it profitable. Yes, profits matter more than anything else- be it private or public.
Let’s relocate the poor from their farmlands and build industries and IT parks (or else TATAs cannot come up with their cheap cars that resemble autorikshaws). Let’s sell of our fresh water and use Pepsi and Colas.
Let’s start reading the crap books of crap authors. Let’s watch crap movies of Khans and Kapoors. Let’s use everything branded.

Let’s make India prosperous….
