Resentment is often sparked by the variation in the policing of the rules rather than the law per se - with many complaining that the rich are unaffected by fines that can cripple poorer households.

In Dharavi, a slum outside Mumbai, an illiterate mother called Aruna sits in her tiny one-room flat, which is home to ten people. Asked how she feels about the rich, she says: "They have worked hard."

Is there anything which could sensibly be described as welfare that the rich can now gain?
