We,the people of India,....Its pious to be middleclass

It amazing how we in India glorify being just  'middle class'.
How many times have we read the following phrases,light-heartedly and carelessly flung into the middle of an otherwise intelligent article:
'the price rise will hurt the middle class'
'the middle class tax payer will be hit the hardest'.
'Coming from a middleclass family,I had not experienced...'

We all love to wear and flaunt our lack of class (our 'middleclass) on our sleeves.
How many Indians proudly announce that they are rich in an unapologetic manner? None.
We all love to hide behind that annoymous,fig leaf of the faceless mob-the middleclass.

At the time of writing this piece Mr.Ambani and Mr.Tata have just announced in an interview to Time Magazine that they are middle class. India applauds these two latest middleclass entries.

Till we are at ease with our personal wealth and not apologetic about it,we will continue to fluctuate violently  between the two extremes of 'middleclass hypocrisy ' and vulgar displays of wealth.
