A strange contradiction
ЁЯФ╢ We have just entered the third millennium. The literacy rate is on the rise. Plethora of creature comforts is available in ever-improving models and designs. There was a time when owning a scooter or a cycle was a matter of pride, but now car has become a basic necessity, be it a village or a town. If we just leave aside the extremely poor segment, we will see that mobile, fridge, microwave, TV, home theater, car and several other things have become basic necessities. This list has been increasing for the past fifteen years.
ЁЯФ╖ We certainly cannot take this as a symbol of financial prosperity and should acknowledge this as crass consumerism. Our country represents a glaring contradiction where on one side, vast majority of the population is a victim of poverty, illiteracy, unhygienic living conditions, etc while on the other side an affluent minority owns flats, skyscrapers and modern means of entertainment. On one side lie the dirty slums, while on the other side are palatial mansions; on one side there are extreme crowds at the railway stations / bus stands while on the other side there is equal rush at the airports. The capacity of the creamy layer of society to splurge has increased. We see places full of multiplexes and malls.
