THE REALITY:
375 million Indians are middle class
Average salary growth: 8-10% annually
Real inflation (housing, healthcare, education): 12-15%
Result: Your purchasing power is DECREASING
Economic mobility: Only 20% move up in a generation

This isn't about laziness or lack of ambition. This is about a system designed to keep you exactly where you are.
