  3. Social Reality Our nation is like a huge ship sailing in the middle of the sea. Just when it looked like sailing smooth, it hits a hidden rock suffering damage causing water to rush into compartments from the bottom. The Unorganized Class at the bottom is in panic and is running around screaming for survival. The only way is to move upwards. The Organized Class sleeps behind closed doors, feeling secured with pensions, insurance and provident funds. They do hear an odd scream but pretend not. The rich and Elite Class – the blessed few are up enjoying the view. They do not even know that the ship is sinking. But this ignorance real or fake will not stop any of us from sinking in the worst scenario.

  4. Economic Reality Let us say our economy is like a multi storied building. The overhead water tank on the roof is the Treasury. The floors from the top downwards are the various heads of government expenditure in order of priority. There are pipes leading water down from the overhead tank to the various levels - their taps are dry. On investigating, we realize that the overhead tank is only half filled – and the lower levels will not get any water unless the tank fills completely. This gap in the overhead tank is the Fiscal Deficit. We check the main reservoir on the ground floor and find that it does contain a lot of water. The pump is running at full speed. The pipes which lead this water up into the overhead tank – the taxation system - are so impossibly twisted, choked and corroded that they leak at many points. A lot of water is leaking out of these pipes and that is why the overhead tank does not ever get filled up!
