Passionate About India

Dear Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji, Hope this 'third letter' of mine to you finds you in the best of health. Sir, I conducted a survey yesterday and found out that the Pandemic has probably made a whopping: >>44% of Indians either unemployed or lose 50% or more of their monthly earnings >>A sample size of 3k is a massive survey* >>It's crystal clear that had the question been about getting more than 30% salary cut or had it included entrepreneurs who have had their businesses shut down then the results would have been far worse.
