White T-shirt movement.

#White T-Shirt movement.

Rahul Gandhi’s white T-shirt movement appears to be a well-ironed contradiction. It’s truly inspiring that someone sporting a ₹41,000 Burberry tee is championing the cause of the downtrodden, all while claiming that economic inequality is the nation’s foremost issue. 

After all, nothing screams “equality” louder than a luxury brand T-shirt that costs more than the average worker's monthly salary. It’s reassuring to know that Rahul, with his impeccable taste and even more impeccable connections, is here to save the common man from the clutches of inequality – one designer garment at a time.

Ironically, while aligning himself with billionaire George Soros, a man known for funding global disruptions, Rahul's message of non-violence and unity might appear funny.  If economic disparity is indeed the villain, one must wonder why his movement’s mascot is a T-shirt few can afford, and why his allies are some of the wealthiest global players. 

Perhaps the true message here is that inequality should be fought from the top – wearing designer labels, no less – leaving the rest of us to march along in our humble clothes .
