MIDDLE CLASS HYPOCRISY
The country is now run by aspitational class of upper middle class youth gainfully employed in sunrise sector with little or no productivity. I have always been sceptical of addressing this section's needs which are sixlane high ways, metros, speciality hospitals, pubs, malls, new electronic gadgets, smart phones etc. There was an unprecendented uproar in the media both visual and print on the possible laying off of some thousands of knowledge workers by TCS. They were being disproportionately paid for their work and are used to a style of living with series of EMIs to serve for their acquistions to suit their new found life style. Farmers suicides, loss of jobs in unorganised sector and MSME units had no mourners at all as if they never existed. AAP, I believe that name itself is a misnomer had promised free wi-fi to all Delhi residents. they have now added a caveat. This is being resented by the neo elites. Chetan Bagat, an IIT IIMalumnus, former investment banker, a high profile writer who leads this brigade in his social networking sites has lamented that limiting the use of Wi-fi to Sarkari websites is plain cheating. He wants it free. He has tweeted that one can have freelaptop at UP, Free booze in Haryana and free wi-fi in NCR. that is aspirational class for you.
