Maruti India is witnessing one of those protests in the country that could soon reach a critical mass and fill Dalal Street in Mumbai and extend to whole country. The company has seen profits going up from 200 crore to 2000 crore in the last decade, while the wages of the bulk workforce hardly touched 4000 a month, a great example of how our corporate works. Companies should do justice to their laborers and give them fair share. The public anger is growing each day against corruption and inequality in political and business sector. While the income of the lowest 10percent might have increased in the last decade, the standard of living has hardly improved due to inflation. If the problem is not address soon, we may see powerful backlashes like Occupy Wall Street in the country. Or has it already begun through the Anna movement?
