The way you are talking is as if it is the fault of a part of population, specifically the poor population.
Can you cut the income of rich and middle class (literately most of Indians on the forum) to pay off the poor population's loss? How many Indians are willing to cut their own wages or profit to increase the bottom workers' pay cheque?
As a one time measure, the I don't mind taking this cut for the betterment of poor.
but
that's not the problem. problem is never ending supply of poor population & their non willingness to uplift themselves. this so called middle class including me have uplifted the selves off this poor list with their hardwork and dedication.
famous examples.. these poor squat on prime properties right in the heart of Delhi but u will find aitconditioners, and LED TV, and fridges... everything needed for the comfort in their shanties... just outside of shanties is poor. No one can touch them as they r vote banks. many own flats which r rented out... all free.
govt does nothing as they r vote banks...I am basically paying for their life style... enough...
U remove one slum by giving them houses, and they setup a new one nearby.. its never ending cycle...
