Does the author tend to say that "luxury" is a bad word? Why have we always been told that if someone is poor, then they are the most spiritual as well as a perfect human being, but if someone is rich and is living in luxury, they are the most corrupt and the worst human-being of all.
We, as Indians, definitely need to change our mindset and try to keep up to pace with developed countries because the fact is that India is not yet a part of the developed world. Being a developed nation won't hurt us, it would only improve the standard of living in our country.
For once, we should compare what India has given to the world, and what the world (specifically developed countries) has given to India, and we whatever we are using today has been actually driven from the western world. This is the ultimate truth. Ranging from a pen to an aeroplane, everything has been invented by America/Europe.
