The Indian National Congress is promising to redistribute India’s wealth. At an election rally, the former president of the Congress party, Rahul Gandhi, according to newspaper reports, said that after a caste census, a financial and institutional survey will be conducted, following which a distribution of India’s wealth according to the population share will be undertaken. Many questions arise from this statement. It must be that the Congress has worked out the details ahead of such an ambitious promise — as elections are almost here and the plans must be fully cooked. I will just raise the questions here hoping to get an answer, ideally before the elections, so that the vote can be cast with full information on this historic move.
