The Middle Class in Kolkata

You talk about the destruction of the middle class in Kolkata. It strikes me that the middle classes and their kind of moor is something that you... I mean, it's not the subject of your books, but it's people as in your novel, the immortals. These are sort of quite comfortable, leisure people. And that's a kind of middle class that has now been lost in somewhere like Kolkata? I think it's lost everywhere. In India. Everywhere in the world.
