The Austerity Debate had fatal blow on two of the Ministers of the UPA ver2.0. Shri S M Krishna and Shri Sashi Tharoor. The later bore the brunt of the joke on Cattle Class that was for me a prompt, answer to a prompt question on "Twitter".
The Indian Sub Continent has been a different society and here the show of wealth is only permitted in marriages.
People by culture are expected to practice Austerity... the debate is in fact between consumerism and Austerity. between saving and spending.
It should not be made limited to the Public Money and Self Money.
The balance of consumerism and saving in India protected us from being the victim of the great Economic Debacle.
When we expect the exercising of Austerity we Expect Savings on unnecessary expences.
When we expect exercising of the Austerity we Expect a reasonable Lifestyle and not the Cattle Class for the Ministers. The ministers avoiding the private Jets and even travelling long distance in Business Class is welcome.
By Austerity we will also have great contribution towards the "REDUCTION OF GREEN HOUSE GASES". Since for long distance travells a private jet will also spend same amount of fuel which a commercial liner will spend, but in a commercial liner more people will be able to travel a same cost and same fuel
So there are many facets of Austerity than just the Cattle Class and that Who are you to ask me not to spend when i can spend?
THINK on it
