Best Example of Feet-Licking Culture - Ministers being addressed as "Revered Saints and Spiritual Leaders" In the last few years, the industrial sector has witnessed unprecedented rise in the demand for conformity and foot-licking. This has resulted in many casualties and has shaken the confidence of the working population regarding the sustainability of work output. Despite the incessant attempt by the government to hide the truth, fissures are popping up everywhere. The Times of India carried a piece of news today with headlines that "Lower affordability hits demand for cars: Maruti." I have no doubt that if we continue down this path, an economic downturn is just around the corner. The question is why no one is talking about it. Again, quite unsurprisingly the answer lies in the rise of foot-licking culture. Let's take an example - how many cases of employee dissatisfaction have come to light in companies under Reliance or Adani umbrellas? Don't you feel it is statistically impossible not to have any grievance aired by any of their employees or newspapers never publishing any article on their work cultures? I have been inactive on LinkedIn for a while. But today something riled me up and I decided to come out of hibernation. I was struck by the sheer audacity (of insulting all Hindus) and by its shameless attempt at foot-licking. The image below is from an advertisement in the Times of India (Kolkata Edition, today) where some ministers were being addressed as "Revered Saints and Spiritual Leaders". I know this much - if some people can insult a large group of people through their frivolity and don't feel ashamed to lick feet of the ministers publicly then the government is actively promoting the culture of conformance and slave mindset in the multitude. WE MUST OPPOSE IT WITH ALL OUR MIGHTS
