WHY INDIAN MIDDLE-CLASS MAKES ALL SUFFER?

Indian middle class is not defined and turned into a mixed up class such as lower, middle and upper middle classes just like castes: Brahmins, Rajputs, OBC, SC,ST,Dalit, Mahadalit etc etc. Anyone will stop counting and locate himself by assessing advantages. Politicians are the magicians who keep rolling dice and placing them in one or other categories alluring with money, posts, engagements. India middle class can adapt any role; social convenience providers, robbers of privileges or offering to turn into offenders economic or any other activities. This class still have slavery in their blood and bows to men in power unashamedly. The impact of strong actions of demonetization, unemployment, monetary deposits, sufferings in pandemic, poor education system little or no impact and they are breathing normal.

This class has no values or ethics

All persons in class look for easy gains at any costs. They enjoy lower quality goods and feel elated and never mind buying banned goods . They would trade and distribute for benefits of moneyed businessman or traders mostly controlled by politicians who have conveniently themselves in higher class by looting people down below through schematic operations and programmes, which is understood by middle classes but keep silent expecting gains in near future.

This class is messy and spongy

This has become characteristic of this class which helps them to sneak into any layer os society and they are capable of taking beatings and survive physical and economic assaults. With time it has come to stay and people in government jobs keep it controlled when their needs are getting served and they turn into bossing.

The class is highly greedy and loves blackmail

It’s not surprising as greedy people can swing moves and hide real affects of any action. Politician exploit this trend and rules for long years.

They breed conflicts

Middle class is in the root of all social conflicts and pushes for class, religious or any other group conflicts and society bleeds and suffers. People don’t have single faith and solidarity in any following. It obviously keeps bothering while rulers enjoy benefits.

You may easily visualise how this class drives all into difficulties and lowers all standards of a Civil Society.
