So? Whats the point. Do a govt job and get 1/4th the money? ITs a free market. Everybody will work where there is a better salary/standard of living.
Your entire arguments was more or less sane, except for such irrelevant bits.

Agreed. But does it serve any purpose in discussing such thing, other than the fact that it brings out the ignorance in the minds of the noveau riche in the forum?This petty bourgeousie attitude where anybody who is poorer than you is untouchable and any body richer is corrupt, do not suit this forum.I dont have any point to prove here as I also agree that cars are overpriced here. But then blaming and accusing any and evry except the self under the indian sun also do not prove any purpose.So does half cooked/uncooked knowledge about ones own country and resorting to compare it to others basis this.
Now how better i can conclude this other than with a JAI HIND ?

JAI HIND India is a great country. Anybody criticizing India is bad. Its the best country in the whole world.
Thats the tune we should sing right?
Well thats the reason why most of India sits in the dark ages. If you compare this country to others, or say how others have a better life, you are a traitor, or a noveau rich who does not understand ground realities, or plain ignorant.
And why should I blame myself. I contribute enough to this country, and take back very little.
MY compatriots in other countries take back much more in terms of healthcare roads infrastructure etc.,
I pay money to this country in terms of taxes, direct and indirect.
That GPRS you talk about, well I pay for that too, and pay service tax on my bill.
The mobile I bought had taxes attached to the bill.
The car I own as 10% tax paid.
The salary I earn I pay tax on that too,
What am I getting in return. All this 2kg rice thingy is okay, and makes good arguments at PAGE 3 parties, and all this talk about "Anybody Poor is untouchable blah blah" is good to embaress the middle class, but in the end it comes down to the very basics for me.
I pay money, what do I get in return.
JAI HIND will not refund the 1500rs I spent on my washing machine because the voltage spiked to 300V.
And before you tell me "Look you have a washing machine which 90% of India does not", I would like to tell you "Sorry, not my fault".
