Garbage Class
by Indian Lover on Jul 02, 2005 06:52 PM   Permalink

So you are saying we have 30% middle class? I dont know how you framed that..I have some statistics..In India 21% of population has proper sanitation..So even if we consider that 30% population is middle class, that means 9% of that middle class lives in garbage. 25% has proper flowing water connection. So 5% goes to pond to get water. 10% of population have proper electricty access. 20% lives in darkness. What you foget to tell is that in last few years social investment in water,sanitation,education,poverty alevation,health has declined.Let me tell you we cant be a modern society, neither we can be called developed country when we have scarcity of what I discussed. So next time, you write article dont forget to write about the problems of us, real middle class!!..
