Ok, I don't think you get the point. The home of rich people will have a backup electric supply, water tank and other such conveniences to offset what should have been a basic good infrastructure provided by the government to begin with. The attitude of acceptance of crappy infrastructure is the chalta hai attitude that the article speaks about. It's the same acceptance of crappy roads, crappy Internet, crappy service, crappy foo... that is consumed without expecting better. The rich also just accept it because they can afford to spend on backup options like a different phone line, multiple service providers etc. However the acceptance of good enough is independent of wealth in India.
