The upper middle class
Went shopping today. On the way, there were a line of cars parked on the side of the road next to which ran a open drainage. On the other side of the same drainage were rows and rows of what one hesitate to call houses. It was not exactly a slum. Maybe just the next level - probably the lower middle class.
The middle class was once a single entity - the working class. Now, multiple divisions have arisen within this section of people. When we are so vocal about caste and communities dividing the people, why don't we address the deepening rift we see in society based on one single factor. There is something very wrong at the core of our society in this economy. As many have come to say - the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. And as the rift between the people who parked their cars on one side of the drainage and the people living on the other side gets larger, we may come to a point when things may get ugly. Because Everyone wants to eat well, dress well and live well.. An odd behaviour seen only in us humans. Animals are just content with survival. Maybe that is why we are doomed.
