India must be the World's biggest workshop for Social Engineering. We are a very class conscious people. Witness the craze for AC accomodation, cars, trains, cinemas and malls. It seems that we have lost the will to live in tune with the climate and our native culture. There are good things as well. Laloo Prasad Yadav's intiative allowing train passengers an update to the next higher class if seats are available is commendable. This will let the common person have access to better class train accomodation which might be unaffordable otherwise. The majority look for immediate gratification it seems. Therefore there is a rush to immigrate, rather than stay in India, work hard and reap the rewards over an extended period of time.
