Top Reasons The Middle Class Is Disappearing
The middle class refers to people neither at the top nor at the bottom of a social hierarchy. Definition from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_class
After reading through the ferocious uproar for the comments made by President Bush, I thought I will also share my thoughts ! If this comment is targeted at the so-called 'struggling middle class' people of the Indian population, Bush must lend his ears to hear. How much does he know about the eating habits of our middle class society? How much does he know about the middle class people who struggle daily to make the ends meet? It is a pity he does not realize that the driving force of the Indian middle class has helped them to achieve their best and move up the ladder. A parent from a middle class spends the major part of the income in giving the best education to the kids. Focusing only on 'Education' they look at education as their only savior. Thousands of middle class citizens of India has filled most of the intellectual jobs in USA. Every year we suffer brain drain by sending the creamy layer of the Indian middle class brains, who can support their country with their services, to serve in a country where they were treated only as 'aliens'. The words of Bush must be an eye opener to our middle class Indians who go abroad only with a notion of earning money and building up their bank balance. They can tell they don't get a good opportunity here at India. Earlier things were like that. But now things are changing.
People who were struggling with a morsel of food everyday would definitely like to have a lavishing lunch or a dinner when they get the necessary money. It is quite normal. Can't he tell a rich man to bring down his lavish dinner so that the money could be spent to feed thousands of starving poor.
Let me tell a story to understand the role of a middle class man in our society. This is a story o f a king called 'Thiru Sanku'.
Kind Thiru Sanku wanted to go to heaven with his mortal body. He requested his Raja Guru Vashishtar to help him. The sage Vashistar informed the Raja that it is not possible and only after death he can go to heaven. The king went to Sage Viswamithra and requested Viswamithra to help him. Sage Viswamithra with his celestial power sent Thiru sanku to heaven. On seeing King Thiru sanku coming to heaven with mortal body, Lord Indra threw him out in space.
Thrown down into the space King Thiru sanku cried 'Help! Help!' Hearing his voice, Viswamithra looked up and stopped King Thiru sanku in mid space. He created a heaven for the King and named it 'Thiru sanku swarga'.
THIS IS THE CONDITION OF MIDDLE CLASS PEOPLE IN INDIA. They could neither move up and shake hands with the rich people nor come down and sit with the poor people. They form their own circle who neither move up nor go down.
