The real MLK was a radical. Take a moment today to learn something new about him. You will be glad you did.

A tweet from Andre Henry ([@]andrehenry), marked with "sos" in red, displays the text: "Once again, it's that time of year that we pretend Dr. King never said things like this:" Below, a quote image features a black - and - white photo of a person on the left, and on the right, text reads: "Capitalism does not permit an even flow of economic resources. With this system, a small privileged few are rich beyond conscience, and almost all others are doomed to be poor at some level. That's the way the system works. And since we know that the system will not change the rules, we are going to have to change the system. — Martin Luther King — AZ QUOTES"

Wish India could see this and learn from it. This rings very true for politics and power in India. At times I wonder if the slavery under the English was better than being trampeled upon by the so called righteous fronts and your own people? At least we learnt from English, else the illiterate politicians and goons in parliament are the worst ever. Democracy is for namesake. Only the rich and politicians make money, have power and common man are living in the worst conditions ever.

@fbinin @amerpie gdp is growing pretty fast but the incomes aren’t. Growth is only for the rich, the common man in India still lives without proper access to things.

@SpaciousCoder78 How very true. Decades and decades of poverty, while rich gets ultra rich, and poor still get from these rich for political payments. Middle humans like us are the worst, as we get nothing, and pay triple++ taxes on everything. Anyways, probably derailing.

@fbinin yeah I’m pretty tired of people boasting about our GDP over western countries but our quality of living has always been bad and is becoming worse. You’re constantly being pumped up with toxic metals and PM 2.5 just by living here. Our children are being born with deformities or dying prematurely due to cancers or living with respiratory diseases. Not a very sustainable state

Just found this online: https://www.reddit.com/r/pune/comments/1qgynby/interesting_conversation_with_our_maid_about/

Someone stated that in Pune, the parties gave out anywhere in between 4K-12K, maybe more per person to vote. I myself saw 4-5 days prior to the elections, people not from Pune being bought in and paid. Pathethic condition. Tax payers money and the is blind. Actually, they are not blind, they are in-part.
