Today I read an article in TOI (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Trim_fat_salaries_of_CEOs_PM/articleshow/2072751.cms) where our beloved Prime Minister has requested India Inc to not give fat salaries. The reasons given by he was that in today’s world, thru media channels the life standard of these highly paid guys is visible in villages and in slums and that can cause social imbalance. Great suggestion Mr. Prime Minister. Keep on doing some more research regarding this and you will take Indian life standard 20 yrs back and that’s what you looks like aiming for. Your plain theory is to squeeze as much as you can and frustrate as much as you can the people who are doing good in life and having good life standards and don’t give that squeezed money to poor’s but fill your pockets. Here are few points I would like to mention here:
1. The same village and slum people also do see the lavish and corrupt life style of our politicians, bureaucrats, thru media channels. Will that not affect the social balance?
2. In your career, altogether you yourselves accumulated a great wealth thru salaries (seems your bank balances goes up in crores as declared to Election Commission of India) by serving to Indian as well as International bodies. Didn’t you think in same way that time and voluntarily received a small salary which will be enough to run your family and expenses?
3. What is the source of income for Mrs. Sonia Gandhi? Will the life standard of Rahul Gandhi have any impact on the slum people? Or there is also a reservation rule applicable and slum people don’t get impacted when they see the lavish life style of you people and also come to know about your fat bank balances?
I had heard a story when I was a kid. There are two lines drawn on board and you need to make the size equal. A constructive approach is to extend the smaller line to the size of bigger line and another destructive approach is to delete some part of longer line to make that look similar to smaller line. Our respected Prime Minister has chosen the destructive path. He wants everyone in India to have a similar (poor) life standard so that everyone will be happy to see the hopeless standards of each other. Seems he has given up to the idea that we should improve the life standards of village and slum people. His comments and thoughts are disappointing and frustrating. May GOD give him some strength to think wisely and intellectually......
