People on reddit often say how the middle class of Indians are the biggest victims and the undervalued demographics of the country. But the reality is quite different in my opinion. According to a UNICEF report of 2018, over 8.8 lakhs children died in India ONLY OUT OF HUNGER AND STARVATION IN ONE YEAR. How can we say that the middle class is the biggest victims when there are literally crores of people who suffer from hunger and starvation every single day. I am not saying that life for the middle class Indians is very easy or pleasent, but they are most definitely not the biggest victims in India. This is not for the lower middle class people but for the people who earn 15lpa and more and cry about being middle class in a 3rd world country while not realising that they are technically the upper class of India and fall under top 10% earners of India.
