OLD VERSION...
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant’s a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed. The grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
MODERN VERSION (excellent)
The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant’s a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering grasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable Home with a table filled with food.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the ant’s house. Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other grasshoppers demanding that Grasshoppers are relocated to warmer climates during winter.
Amnesty International and UN general secretary criticize the Indian Government for not upholding the fundamental rights of the grasshopper. The Internet is flooded with online petitions seeking support to the grasshopper (many promising Heaven and Everlasting Peace for prompt support as against the wrath of God for non-compliance). Opposition MP’s stage a walkout. Left parties call for “Bharat Bandh” in West Bengal and Kerala demanding a Judicial Enquiry. CPM in Kerala immediately passes a law preventing Ants from working hard in the heat so as to bring about equality of poverty among ants and grasshoppers.
Lalu Prasad Yadav allocates one free railway coach to Grasshoppers on all Indian Railway Trains, aptly named as the ‘Grasshopper Rath’. Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act [POTAGA]”, with effect from the beginning of the winter. Arjun Singh makes Special Reservation for Grasshopper in educational Institutions & in Government Services.
The ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV. Arundhati Roy calls it “a triumph of justice”. Lalu Prasad Yadav calls it ‘Socialistic Justice’. CPM calls it the revolutionary resurgence of the downtrodden’ UN General Secretary invites the grasshopper to address the UN General Assembly.
Many years later... The ants have since migrated to other countries and have set up multi billion-dollar company in different parts of the world. 100s of grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India...
As a result, by loosing lot of hard working ants and feeding the grasshoppers India continues to remain a developing country...

I hope you know others.
It's not to demean any one. It is about Indian tendency of Premium Link Upgrade for different groups & races.
I just want to know, whether you too find the same tendency in your country?
Do you support this tendency?
Does it really serve the purpose of so called social Justice?
Hope I get some input.
BTW, it was dd who prepared the draft and I posted it when he is absent (actually out of station on duty), with his permission
