This article is a `reactionary` point of view by a `reactionary` activist.These kinds thrive on the poor.The more poor there are, the more power these people will have.Any efforts at instilling a sense of accountability and responsibility on the part of the public by state govts. have been hampered by these activist types.Till the economy started growing, middle class india put up with it and suffered the antics of the poor.Now, the middle class have had it.Why should a middle class tax paying citizen have to pay millions of rupees for an apartment, whereas a `poor` person can erect a shantytown anywhere and live there without paying anything to the city or state?.It is the vast middle class that is asking the vast poor to join the gang or go bust.History ofcourse, will have the last word.I think the poor in india are too smart to take side with losers such as this author and her ilk.They like the good things of life and i, believe, are prepared to work for it.Note, almost no resistance from the poor when the govt. bulldozed these shantytowns.
