Edward Luce's interview is very interesting because it addresses the vital need for elected politicians to truly know the people of such a complex country. I have long suspected that the middle class did not vote; the article confirms that. The middle class is a lot like the politicians: They do not acknowledge the role of the majority of the Indian people, that is the poor in India's villages. in the nation;s fture. It is a privilege they do not understand. Over all, a good interview. Thanks
