The emergence of the Indian middle class has received much attention, but there’s no one authoritative way of defining what it means to be ‘middle class’.
Forget comparing it with classics like Hrithik’s Ek Pal Ka Jeena or the slick title track of Dhoom 2, Janaab-e-Aali does not even come close to Ghungroo.
India’s industrial output growth saw a 10-month low in June, with Index of Industrial Production (IIP) growing by mere 1.5% as against 1.9% in May 2025.
Standing up to America is usually not a personal risk for a leader in India. Any suggestions of foreign pressure unites India behind who they see as leading them in that fight.
This stupid KETKAR is a congressi chamcha. He forms the chamchas who blabber against middle class while praising their UPPER CLASS MASTERS who roam around in SUVs.. Well not surprised since Baniya/Brahmin Liberals in print, scroll etc are still pissed off that their Janauedhari Pappu isnt the PM..
Thia man kumar Ketkar is a congress’s RS MP. The average journoa that he is, he rubs shoulder with the high and mighty of his party, enjoys all the free perks and privileges that the MP poaition offers him and then dares to blame middle class. Fire crackers are not bused based on any class of peoplw. The poor, the middle, upper middle, rich, neo rich etc blow crackers. Why target middel class. Does Ketkars boss Rahul approve of this idiotic article ? Rahul should clarify. As for Ketkar, less said the better.
The tittle here sounds very inappropriate and unethical.
I must remind you that a writer as a journalist should be very ethical and professional in his writing, what the writer has did here is sensationalised the topic, the title itself seems so pseudo-elitist.
Instead of bringing out the lack of seriousness and ignorance towards environmental factors by the citizens and its cause due to deep roots in our festive culture, the writer has taken a short and easy way to present the news.
Don’t you feel a little bit of shame? Sensationalising everything that you can for attention? Please practice ethical, peer viewed writing. Be a little responsible with what you write.
Your articles are as toxic as the air itself.
You are absolutely right.
I totally agree with your views.
plastic bottles was invented by the stupid middle class , because they wanted to use and throw water bottles.
Motor vehicles was invented and used only by these imbecilic middle-class. The so called cfc gasses producing products were invented and used only by the useless middle-class.
Every time only the so called intellectual upper class understands the meaning of pollution.
God save ……………..class
Author please decide whom the god should guide and save
its unfortunate to make comments trageting particular class of people….isnt there any body from upper class making lavish celebrations? why pointing only against middle class or upper middle class? secondly whats the point the auther wants to signify in saying that now upper middle class people are owning vehicles?
Such a shame that people are talking about middle class and high class.. During Diwali or marriage, even High class people and celebrities light the crackers and celebrate d festival. You can search for the picture of Amitabh Bacchan and family lighting crackers, are they from middle class? You can also find bursting of crackers in the marriages of high class people, then why only blame middle class? And how do you decide the class? On the basis of their income and property? You are living in 21st century, stop treating people on the basis of class and for God’s sake stop spreading this kind of hatredness. We know how good Indian media is, you don’t have to prove it again and again.
Yet another suggestion for you , if burning crackers once in a day makes such a huge pollution, you people better not buy any vehicles for your comfort living.
Talking about pollution, there are other pollutions too which is done 4 times a day in loud speakers all over the world. You won’t be having any problem at that time is it?
Stop discriminating people by class, caste or any other means and be humans rather than spreading hatredness.
Shame on you people
Blaming everything on the middle class has become a fashion these days . Just because now they can afford these things and are trying to living there life a little lavishly everybody is loosing there shit . Until only rich people were using all this facilities everything was hunky dory . Suddenly buying a car or bike is crime now ,WTF guys .we are already decided enough on the basis of religion and cast now u want class also to be a filter .grow up guys grow up.
Brings to mind a recent photograph of a woman joyously lightly highly toxic firecrackers with both hands, wearing a black face mask to keep her safe from pollution.
