In an article in the Sunday Times of India noted activist, Ms Aruna Roy is angry that the middle class in India is against MGNREGA, a social scheme which ensures compulsory employment for the rural poor for 100 days a year. '..... young people aspire to pass CAT to settle abroad,' she says in scathing contempt of the middle class. Seems that the scheme has empowered the rural poor by helping them move out of poverty and given them the power to demand accountability from officials. Nowhere in the article, not once, does she mention if the poor have any responsibility for themselves or duty towards the country. If she was not so blinkered she would realise that the middle class is not against helping the poor but has legitimate concern in their numbers increasing exponentially because of unrestricted breeding. It is estimated that 600 million people in India have no indoor toilet. What if the number goes up to 1 billion or two or three. How many will our children have to support? It is the increasing numbers of poor that is breeding corruption as criminal politicians and thieving civil servants loot hundreds of billions of rupees from phoney social schemes. Rising number of poor helps to keep labor costs down increasing profits for industrialists and help criminals to get elected by wasting tax payer money on free electricity, cheap rice or free saris. Finally, let me assure Ms Roy that I know of not one in all my relatives and friends whose child has appeared for the IAS exam. Only those who want to loot the state join the civil service and come from the same people that she loves. No wonder liberals are always described as ' woolly headed.'
