A $4.18 trillion GDP sounds huge, but for 1.48 billion people in our country, it means little when wealth is concentrated at the top. This ‘growth’ is corporate-led, not people-led. Ambani & Adani’s wealth has exploded through policy favours, monopolies, cheap public assets, loans written off”while the middle class pays record taxes, faces inflation, job insecurity, and falling savings. GDP rank doesn’t put food on the table, create quality jobs, or fix education, healthcare, pollution, and inequality. An economy that makes billionaires richer but burdens the middle class is not success, it’s criminal imbalance.
