Good point Rajesh. I admit that I have gone a bit more emotional and dramatic when I wrote that. But I believe it is beginning to be the beginning of a civil war.

“We are almost on the tip of a civil war” I would say that is stretching things too far. I believe inequality is a natural phenomena and will be there always. The human desire for equality is the check/measure keeping the system in balance. Things like naxalism, revolt, revolution are manifestation of the human desire for equality when the balance is shifting to much to one side. I believe civil war happens when the system has gone so much out of balance that it is impossible to bring it back and have the original system in place. Then we need a new system. I don’t think India is anywhere close to this.

So true !! I do not believe in most of the news on India’s growth. India is definitely growing – but far more for rich people and less for middle class and far lesser for the poor.
