Good point, Collar-less worker - my guess is, mostly construction workers!!!
.
And suddenly our "educated" consciousness is activated...seeing some pictures & videos...otherwise, since 1947 we were playing the ostrich...
.
The interesting thing is, as Shekhar Gupta was saying, they are not necessarily poor...and I know, they sometimes earn more than Primary school teachers in Bangalore's mushrooming private schools...
.
The real impoverished "citizens" are there in specific pockets in Central India - say Bundelkhand...and we care little for them...media do not track them and we do not see them...
.
I always felt India should have 500-700 states, each district made into an independent state, with a CM, with a capital City...else poorer districts remain in the black holes forever...
.
And the council of CMs - the Indian Parliament....just one election!!! not MLA and MPs
.
Imagine, the population of Uttar Pradesh at 200+ million is bigger than that of Russia, same as Brazil...people are busy with NOIDA, Ayodhya, Varanasi, Lucknow, Kanpur and Allahabad etc...Bundelkhand is too insignificant ...
.
One suggestion - stop reading newspapers and 9 O'clock news...try to figure it out yourself...
.
And THANK YOU, The Print.
