The Divided Indian Society 3

The upper class people seek their alliance and arrange their marriages to their wards befitting to their economic and social status. Spend lavishly for their marriage, which are normally held in five star hotels with a sumptuous feast or dinner.

Though the upper class people give due importance to the social and moral values, sometimes their wards influenced by the western culture and affluent money become addicted to some exotic dress code, unwanted party and night club culture and strange habits. It is an irony, such a perverted culture not tolerated among the middle class people become a fashion and befitting culture in the upper class.

These upper class people by virtue of their money power sometimes join politics and become successful politicians too. But once they become politicians their power corrupts power and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The upper class people also play a significant role in politics without even joining politics and playing an active role. During parliament and assembly elections, these upper class people contribute liberal donations to politicians and thereby influence party politics also; in fact their liberal donations force the politicians to take their policy decisions taking the problems of upper class people into account; in this way the upper class people by virtue of their money power force the politicians to take policy decisions that are favorable to their business and thereby influence the life of middle and lower class people.

Thus, while the upper class people significantly influence the policy decisions of the party politics and the government, the middle class people by strictly adhering to the traditional values of the society, uphold the culture of our country. On the other hand the lower class people by flouting our cherished moral and cultural values, force the government to think actively how to prevent such cultural erosions and traditional values. However, if the government thinks in right direction in bridging or reducing the gap between the haves and have-nots, perhaps we can do away with the lower class in the near future.
