In his response which has sparked a lot of reactions online ,he wrote:
Do you see this plate of the basic meal?
Do you know what it takes for me to get this?
1.The work of farmers who grow pulses, rice, chilies and other spices.
2.The work of the daily wage workers who do the harvesting, cutting and fertilizer spraying.
3.The work of transport people who bring this from the farms and distribute to all over the country.
4.The work of middlemen who manage go downs and shops.
5.The work of gas company people who supply gas to my home that enables cooking.
6.The work of people who make plates, tables, chairs or tiles.
7.The work of the different people in my company that keep it in profits so that I get my salary on time.
When all these people from different castes, religions and regions work, I get my food on time. Even if one of them fails, I will remain hungry.
So in the real world, there is no such thing as one important job that the world is fully dependent on.
We all live in an ecosystem and we are interdependent on each other. Somewhere in some small village, a milkman being lazy can lead to his buffalo running into the railway track, delaying the train by hours, causing all its passengers to miss flights, lose time, miss exams or weddings or even die. Sometimes, it can even overturn the train, killing most of its people and affecting their families.
Thinking that it is either just farmers, or army, or police, or doctors that you need to be indebted for is myopic thinking.
