MIDDLE CLASS IS A VAGUE TERM IN INDIA
by Borowiack on Jun 30, 2013 08:14 PM

In India the term Middle Class has some vagueness. It is not clear who is to be branded as middle class and the criteria for the same. For instance after the Budget presentation, when the Media poses questions to people earning over Rs. 1 lakh a month, they are being projected as Middle Class and they recount their sufferings as to how they are not able to meet ends meet with such pittance in their hand which makes the term Middle Class a mockery. It is time we have some defined parameter to identify the real Middle Class. In my dictionary, I would identify anybody as Middle Class who earns Rs. 10,000/- a month in Metropolis and about Rs. 5,000/- in towns and Rs. 3,000/ in villages.

Definiton of Middle Class
by vavialala suri on Jun 26, 2013 11:50 PM

Please define middle class. Middle class in Megapolis, Metropolis,Urban areas,semi-urban areas and Rural are different.

Hence need to understand middle class with respect their standard of living.

INDEED It is a NATIONAL shame
by nitmohan on Jun 26, 2013 06:04 PM


that common needs are sold

It is a shame that common basic needs are sold by the government in public places after 65 years of Independence.

For easing and for urinating you have to pay in Railway stations and bus stands.

This is our government. When a railway or bus ticket is purchased by a person, he should be eligible to get every basic need of human being irrespective of his status, till he completes his journey.

At Railway Stations and Bus stands,
they are looting public in the name of providing parking facility to public.

Shameless government with useless leaders & their autistic followers.

Instead of spending money on roads , Education, and Power ,
UPA has been wasting nations resources on these vote catching schemes.............

Free food.. Food security bill . 2 lakh crore /year ( SONIAs pet project)........
Free Money.. Direct Cash Transfer ..?? lakh crore /year ( Rahuls game changing idea).........
Free Jobs .. NREGA .. 50,000 crore /year...........
Free Loans ..Farm Loan waiver ..80,000 crore.........


All these schemes for Congress to get votes is to be paid by Middle class , through ....

Higher Taxes , Higher Interest rates , and Higher Fuel/power prices ....

As more money is doled out, FOC in the economy , it leads to high inflation as well....

All these schemes only means more scams by netas and babus
