Does Inequality Lead to Greater Inequality in India?

People in India live amidst sharp inequalities. This inequality has multiple dimensions and is ever growing. The British rule influenced the Indian society in many respects. The western ideology which is still considered to be superior, took over, bringing about riches to a few and exclusion for the rest.The elite class created under the British rule has taken up the leadership task in the post-independence period. The leaders in the post-independence period have borrowed a western model of growth and the western influence continues to exclude the already marginalised from the growth process.
