- Did you know that only 2.7% of India's population is employed
in organised sector on a secure monthly wage? That makes it 27
million workers. Of them 19 million - over 70% - are engaged by
government and public sector! This is an extraordinary proportion.
On top of it, government evokes fear and respect bordering on
veneration-thanks to the legacy of British Raj. And nearly 40 years
of socialist mindset and doles culture meant that the public servant
is seen as the benefactor, and the citizen has become a mendicant.
As a result, the roles of master and servant are reversed. The
citizen has become the slave, and the employer has become the 'maibap'
