In my opinion, the root cause of such kidnappings is the void between middle class families. Range of middle class has increased tremendously. Upper range of middle class is fighting to be among the upper class.
On the other hand, poor people are fighting for their survival. Easiest way for them to make money is by illegal means. I am not approving their illegal activities but it is way too difficult for a poor person to survive. You can see exponential rise in the rate of kidnappings in Bihar,UP, & Delhi area.
An ordinary person cannot buy things, they are too expensive. Whereas some other well-off middle-class people don't even think twice in spending money. India's economic growth has been very good for specific class of people but ordinary people like government employees etc. can barely survive. No wonder you see so much of bribery/illegal activities among them.

I personally feel very sad and angry at the same time. Though thi sis not the right forum/time to say this against this henious crime but I fully agree - India is 3 country into one - developed, developing and under-developed where there is no synergy among the three and worst there is no compassion among the developed - if there is compassion ; things would not be in such a state and the worst is these 'developed' segment is the most corrupt! Country boast of highest number of millionaires in Asia and at the same time Satyen Dubey, Manjunath, Sanjay Ghose, Sarita & Mahesh had to lay their lives to fight the corruption .. I was just talking to a 'professional' the other day who does not have any qualms on selling house with 50% black money in cash! such is the state of ethics!

Your Idea is call "communisms". Which failed last century in USSR and other places. People who whorked hard and earned more has every right to enjoy it. There can't be any excuse for these type of crimes.
