Answer these questions to find out if you're upper class ...
A: No
Then you are a bludger off the state, whether aristo or doley bum
Q: Do you eat alphebetti spaghetti everyday in your pants
A: Yes
Then you are SAS Guru and you are not classifiable
HTH
and I object to being called SASGuru.
How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
These questions illustrate perfectly that you've confused aspiring middle class with 'upper class'.
One thing you clearly don't know (and being middle class, I wouldn't expect you to) is that class is about class (as in you either have it or you don't) and attitude (including one's appraisal of oneself).
Apart from Q10 all your questions are to do with money and possessions. You clearly believe that any slightly monied middle management "middle class" [sic] family who drive a 4x4 Volvo and send their kids to a minor public school (or who attended one themselves) have 'class'. No. They are crass.

There are at least 10 mosques in Kerala, and I even know my way from the train station to one of them, the one that is the 2nd oldest Mosque in the world.

These questions aren't very good at differentiating class.
Aristos can be very materialistic and superficial.
