Indian Pride
by on May 06, 2008 08:06 AM

Swati is a housewife. My son told her not to work because if you work, from whatever you earn, 50 percent will go in taxes and rest 50 percent will go in housemaids; very practical.

As a highly educated Indian woman, i am deeply saddened by this statement. Ok, maybe the dad is senile, in which case, he may be talking nonsense....but this is hard to digest. So assuming Vikram Pandit actually said that, what was meaning - that 50% of his wage goes to taxes, and the rest 50% to the housemaid, conveniently (practically) his wife?
