K of presstalk expresses concerns about the state of the 750 million ‘other’ Indians, which also include hara-kiri farmers, and points to the dichotomy of the middle-class Indians who visit them to talk about their plight.
Imagine the dichotomy of an urbane, well-educated person standing with money, goods and clothes worth Rs 50,000 in front of a widow whose husband killed himself for Rs 20,000 and the lakh of rupees that his family will get after he dies. It happened with me. Can you look that widow in the eye and can you forgive your own wild consumerism? Can you forgive yourself for the regular five-star lunches you have when these people eat plain jowar rotis.
Dilip, meanwhile clarifies that there is no such dichotomy involved.
