of playing to the Indian middle class gallery. He uses his writing to echo what the 'literate but having a half-baked education' middle class in this country would like to hear. He keeps talking about himself and his experiences and pontificates about things that he knows are considered as 'values' by his readers.
His adoring audience derives vicarious pleasure when he expresses his laboured rage on the state of affairs in the country. It adores him for prescribing quick-fix solutions for many ills that the middle class considers as the nation's chief troubles.
But what the middle class perhaps likes him best for is his silence on several endemic and deeper problems that beset the country - and which the middle class considers as others' problems!
Doubtless, there are several writers who write for such a constituency. But it is Mr. Bhagat who is the current success in this segment.
** 229 people out of a global team of 6005 members in the higgs-boson nuclear physics experiment considered to be the most complex physics problem of the century are Indians. 229 out of 6005 is incredible feat.
**29 members of the successful NASA mars mission were Indians. The program co-ordinator is an Indian. 12 indians in the team developed the complex soil analysis software.
**Do not feel bad if you are not interested in science and technology or do not have patience for the same. 9 out of top 25 UAE hotels belong to people of indian origin. two of them won top customer service award for two years consecutive and their names were featured in local magazine. several of them left shores from south india due to extreme poverty and meagre cash in pockets and came up in life due to sincere hard work and honesty.
now indians who are efficient, intelligent,capable, truthful and gallant, let their country be ruled by goondas and arsonists who mass exploit unsuspecting innocent and threaten stability.

Because NASA is an agency of the government of the United States of America, employment with NASA is restricted to citizens of the United States of America. Also, although NASA does contract with private industry for services, generally these contracts are with major companies as opposed to individuals.
