Global evidence on the emancipatory potential of the class has been mixed. While for some it is a dynamic force for change, others have argued it is inherently conservative. Even as regards the economy, while the middle class might desire a reduced role of the state in the economy it is deeply protective of its own interests as in favourable tax policies.
Historically the social and political role of the class has not been due to its income or consumption per se but rather its human capital, and in particular its hegemonic role in the professions. The character of higher education and the governance and standards of the professions in India are likely the principal reasons why the social and political role of the Indian middle class has been so wanting. The links between higher education and the professions have a critical impact in shaping the attitudes and sensibilities of the class.
Since liberalisation, higher education in India has expanded tenfold and in principle should have shaped the attitudes and values of the large middle class it has generated. However, a professional who has paid a premium price for his credentials while receiving a poor quality education will not only cut corners to recover that investment, but will also have little regard for professional norms and ethics since his education did little to impart him with any professional values.
It has long been recognised going back to Durkheim in his classic work, Professional Ethics and Civic Morals that the state simply cannot perform the regulatory function of professions. While professional associations derive some of their regulatory power from the state, they must not be part of the state.
Unfortunately the failures of the middle class to better govern the very professional organisations that have been the source of its social power are manifest, be it the governing body of accountants or of architects, lawyers, doctors, engineers, teachers.
They epitomise a harsh reality. The institutional malaise in the governance of the professions is an important reason not just for the weaknesses of the professions themselves, but in their larger failure to hold the state to account — a failure that is all too manifest today.
