The Ghost
Taxonomy
Indian
society weaves a complex matrix of inequality. While the usual divisions of
caste, religion and language gradually still, income differentiation has
stratified citizens into ever-expanding vertical layers. Identity and worth of
an individual is marked by his income. A person moves a step above, by money
power, only to find several others on top. This vortex has institutionalized
income disparity as those on the lowest steps have little space or opportunity
to transcend their status. Leftovers of a sumptuous dinner may feed a family and the
expenditure incurred over the meal may sustain some family for a year, amount needed to buy one liter milk beats
official requirement to cross poverty line. Worse, we have accepted this
cruel classification as a natural consequence of growth, an unpardonable
insensitivity that may create irreparable fissures in social fabric.
