Democracy in America apparently means the right of the lower orders to be rude to their social superiors. This goes by the name of “customer care”.

lower orders? social superiors? who the heck does he think he is?

upper middle class indians who haven't spent much time abroad are some of the most pampered and uppity people on the planet. they put the british aristocracy to shame. a year or two of toiling in the united states or canada as graduate students who have to fend for themselves turns them into much nicer people.

this article led me there to the one about iyer:

>>> Sashi Tharoor was also a graduate student at Tufts University. I don't know what good it did for him. He did not want to fly cattle class.

Doesn't this Aiyer mama have a PakiSaitani SIL ?

The man could not win a Panchayat election on his own and became a bigwig just by being a loyal dog to Rajiv. PC killed him politically, and now this Mama wants to show off that he traveled by business class. This is a good example of the disjoint between the upper middle class India and the one below them.
