Is the Indian middle class apathetic towards the issues of the poor?

I have been noticing since some time that the Indian middle class barely shows any outrage for the issues of the poor. Most of the cases which grew into social media movements had victims belonging to the middle class. I recently learnt that more than 50,000 people in India lose their life due to snakebite, but nobody talks about it maybe cuz the victims are primarily poor rural people. We scorn at them for being uncivic, but don't empathise with the underlying reasons .
