Before criticising the government, please have a look around you. You live in a very poor country. If you are buying shoes above 15k or watches above 25k - you are in a much better position than your fellow countrymen. You are not just the 1%, you are the 0.1% or perhaps even more elite. 80 crore people don’t have enough money to eat. 90% of Indians earn less than 25000 a month. So if you can afford to spend that on a shoe or a watch - you should be paying more taxes. You should not curse the government but understand it is your bad luck that you were born in such a poor country. You should understand that it is your lack of talent or initiative that you were not able to leave the country. The government is not doing anything wrong. Higher consumption taxes on luxury items is the only possible way to tax the rich.

The statement represents a classic example of misguided economic populism - it emotionally manipulates citizens into accepting mediocrity by shaming individual consumption, while simultaneously absolving systemic governmental failures. A truly progressive nation requires: - Critical citizens - Accountable governance - Structural economic reforms - Dignity of individual economic choices. it's isn't about luxury purchases, but about creating opportunities where every citizen can aspire and achieve, regardless of their current economic status.

India is far behind in AI and blockchain due to a poor education system and poor government decision-making (nearly all blockchain developers have moved to the UAE). We should not celebrate our 5 trillion GDP success, it is more important to know whe

We often talk about India becoming a superpower, but we can't ignore the high wealth inequality here. Have you ever felt that India is actually a poor country in some situations?
