Is the increasing wealth gap in India, that's worse than during British rule a sign of a second colonisation attempt by Gujarati billionaires? (lemy.lol)

Obviously this is not about Gujarati people. They are just the same people as anywhere else in India.

I have specifically mentioned Gujarati billionaires. You know which guys I am talking about.

There are many recent incidents to think of which points in a similar direction.

In Varanasi the livelihood of small boaters is being taken away by large steamers owned by Gujarati billionaires.

In Ayodhya 4500 houses and shops of poor people were bulldozed to build five star hotels owned by Gujarati property tycoons.

In Ahmedabad the biggest semiconductor plant is being built predominantly funded by tax money and low interest loans from Public sector banks but owned by Adani. I mean they literally own the country at this point and if you are paying taxes you are working for them.
