It raises one important question what action should be taken by ANT (AUNTY?) as her fight is against Arundhati Roy,Medha Patkar, Mayawaati etc.
.
She requires to change her Strategic Planning .
( She is required to study the subject like Strategic Management by joining CA or without joining CA : both options are available ) and apply it :
.
There is not a single problem of which no solution is there .
.
When you "show" the mass that you are rich; so many will come and ask for a beg.
.
Now there are plenty of ways not to "show" such wealth to so-called "blood hounds."
.
One should apply "analytical approach" to cope up with the situation.
.
In Financial Management we learn what to do when one has surplus funds :
.
1. It must be invested to fetch interest.
.
2. Take loans against the "stock" which she has and expand another business
( This is one of the most reasonable solution to the present problem before her).
.
3. Export the surplus "stock" as soon as it happens and import when artificial shortage is created in the country
( It is like Strategic Planning of Sharad Pawar ).
.
.
The effect of above actions may "cost" her some money; but it will open new horizons in several manner like:
.
1. Safeguard of own funds
2. Expansion of Business
3. Providing employment to grasshopper before he makes a complaint.
( The most effective strategic decision to show "social welfare").
.
More solutions will come......let the discussion continue....

@ Surendra Sir,
The planning given by you on this open platform may raise the eyebrows of Aunts as majors suggested by you are purely meant for the benefit of industrious Ants only.
.
In democracy, no planning can be said as strategically perfect unless it is told for the upliftment of the grasshooper (maintaining secrecy over the issue of real benificiaries).
.
Being a keen learner , you may illustratively learn the Strategic Approach of Maya Aunty etc... .
.
Now my views .........
As the Ant of this topic has evidently made herself a prosperous and happy guy, strategically we should raise questions focussing more at grass root level only.
.
Ant knows better that Grasshooper will never enjoy his life until he remains in a shell more particularly labeled as "Down Trodden" in spite of the fact that he has been given the opportunity and protection to enjoy the high hill house of the Ant.

The basic question was relating to safeguarding of interest of ANT and accordingly I have suggested the ways.
.
Grasshoppers don't "accept" anything except to "enjoy" readily available food hence neither they want "upliftment" nor there is any "requirement."
In India; there are crores of such people who believe in KHAO,PIO, MAUJ KARO. (Although everyone wants this but many have goals to achieve something great in life).
.
By Education only; upliftment is possible.
.
Here one should not confuse education means a degree. Real education means when a person is fit to do his "desired" work to earn money "smartly." I prefer an uneducated businessman than an unemployed educated person. At least a businessman is in a position to provide employment to such person.
.
Grasshoppers are not "enterpreneurs" hence they can be best fitted into "job" only and this is the reason I have suggested employment for them.
.
They (minorities) prefer "secured" job at government offices and everyone knows they dislike to do work. They are only interested in their salaries, perks, leaves (including PL i.e. Privileged Leave !!), medical facilities, reimbursement of expenses and above all PENSION for rest of the life.
.
Why farmers are ready to sell their owned land since years ? Because "good money" which they never imagined is offerred to them by the industrialists. Who is in fault ? Farmers ! They want to "enjoy" their life without doing anything for rest of the life !
.
Opposition is only when they feel that price paid to them is very low ( which they realized later on and not at the time when the lands were sold by them).

The usefulness of the Forum section comes to the fore only when lively discussions - as initiated by Paras Sir and Surendra Sir - are being generated.
I too would like to share my views on the topic. But before that I must strive to get rid of my confusion(s).
I know about the identities of the metaphorical Ant and Grasshopper - the ones described in the OLD story.
This Ant is - industrious, farsighted, disciplined...
This Grasshopper is - lazy, myopic-in-vision, a kind of Charvaka philosopher who lives by the day caring a darn for future ...
BUT, I am at a loss to identify the PRESENT Ant and Grasshopper - in their PRESENT Avatar.
Who are these Ants? Industrialists? Materially succesful people ? Career conscious youth of India? ...
Who are these Grasshoppers? The "crores of such people who believe in KHAO,PIO, MAUJ KARO.", as described by Surendra Sir or the "Downtrodden" of Paras Sir or the general poor of this country like the farmers from Andhra Pradesh. Do they have any other identity as well,- like those covered by the Protective Discrimination policy?
Please tolerate my ignorance, but I don't understand this statement by the initiator of this post either :
" a day will come when ants will b taking command over grasshopper.. and then only everything could change...."
Metaphors, as can be easily seen, have always been my Achilles' Heel.
