The Planning Commission of India thinks a person in India can live on about $0.6 (in rural areas) or $0.7 (in cities). But look at what people in power are earning. Who drives India's economy? For whom, for what, are they driving it?
This is part of a report in today's [21 Sep 2011] Times of India . According to the report, the Planning Commission of India has recommended $0.7 (in cities) and $0.6 (in rural areas) as the cut off for determining the level of poverty in India. India is supposed to be the Superpower in 21st century. Who makes the rules of Superpowers? Who decides who is poor? Do you have a boss who sits in an air-conditioned room and gossips the whole day while he pays you Rs32 per day (the recommended rate?)
Take off, dear. I never could. Religion clipped my wings, first. EVM did it finally. Now, the bosses are at the same job of clipping wings with a crude grin on their lipstick-smeared lips.
