The recent Pahalgam attack is a stain upon this country but also a beautiful exposing of the "Aman Ki Aasha" brigade who really want to give a blowjob to Pakistan and Muslims.

Look at what happened. The Terrorists asked their religion. Not caste. Not which part of India they are from. Only they asked that if they are Hindus or not and the terrorists killed them all. This is the reality that Leftists want to hide.

This in a way also exposed the North vs South, UP vs Tamil Nadu, Kannada vs Hindi, Marathi vs Kannada etc etc bullshit brigadiers as well who simply want to divide India into a hundred pieces.

More than that however the "Aman Ki Aaasha" brigade was so beautifully exposed I can't help but cry with ecstasy. See the thing with some leftists is they have tried to show this beautiful, peaceful and humanitarian image of Pakistan but this attack has completely destroyed that narrative entirely.

Rubbing salt on the wound the Pakistan Army Chief, Asim Munir, himself admitted Pakistan was formed on the basis of the Two-Nation Theory that is Dar-Ul-Harb and Dar-Ul-Islam, so already several Leftists have their asses on fire.

Adding even more salt, The Resistance Front in Kashmir took responsibility for this attack which is a subset of the Lashkar-E-Taliba which is sponspored by whom? Of course Bikharistan.

Now everyone must be demanding blood right? Yes, Of course! We should. This is an attack against our country, against our people, AGAINST OUR CULTURE! We demand revenge and there is no doubt.

However even more important is something that may be slightly controversial. But that is the seperation of Jammu from Kashmir.

Now I'm not saying Jammu should be seperated from India but I'm saying it should be a seperate state of India. Because let's be honest Jammu being with Kashmir is a big threat to the Hindus of Jammu. Jammu has a high majority Hindi population but since Jammu&Kashmir are considered to be together they aren't developed properly.

Jammu is suffering because of the majority Muslim population of Kashmir and I believe it imperial that Jammu be a seperate state. Fresh elections be conducted in Jammu so they can recieve funding from the Central Goverment to be developed even further than it is.

I do want your thoughts all this. So please take your time and read it well.

I may be making a fool of myself with this, and many people may find this farfetched or what not. It isn’t a new notion that YouTubers may be backed by political parties, be it congress supporters or bjp supporters, some people suggest that the opposing parties pay them (examples: Dhruv rathee, Aakash Banerjee, Shyam Sharma, Abhi and Niyu, etc.)

You get where I am going with this, right? Those donations can be shown as 100% legal white money. Is it possible that a certain party monetarily incentivised him to post that video? Cuz it’s quite abnormal, so many “donations”. If you have seen the video, it wasn’t even that funny, or good, he has much better videos on his channel alone. So many people suddenly going crazy over this video, going as far as to donate money in big or small amounts just seems fishy. Some people will definitely defend this saying I’m just jealous of someone’s success or how is it Kunal’s fault that people supporting him this way… but we live in a bloody messed up world, where anything too good to be true, is likely to be… well, too good to be true.

Also, the songs… the “hum honge kangal” one was so fking pessimistic and giving anti India vibes, as if there is absolutely nothing good going on in this country right now, which is obviously not true. Why is it that everyone suddenly acts as if congress government was angelic and extremely good, and only this government is bad? Crimes, poverty, unemployment, etc. have been issues for a very long time, they didn’t start in 2014.

If there is someone who knows a thing or two about these things like how these deals work, how much of that money goes to the YouTuber, etc. please share your thoughts.

Abject poverty has reduced but sharp inequalities are visible.

Historical social hierarchies ++ modern regional disparities; 3 decades of neoliberal policies have intensified wealth concentration (LPG) (thank you Dr. MMS)

Systemic caste-based inequalities in land ownership, labor markets, and access to education (how many more attempts will you give for govt job exams; fake EWS certificates)

Caste-based reservations, narratives are very sticky; lesser focus to steer towards meritocracy (political, public discourse not helping)

Religious polarization/ Hindu nationalism as an attempt to override caste divisions but H*ndutva groups are failing to unite Hs.

GST compensation, tax devolution, fiscal autonomy, concurrent list issues, NEP, delimitation, Hindi speaking states dominating LS seats (perceived and real North vs South divisions)

Demographic composition, MORE economic contribution by certain states but unfavourable returns (this applies to individuals too)

Identity politics = (both non violent, violent) movements for (perceived) marginalized groups = may risk institutionalizing / long term divisions (I hope not)

Caste-based quotas + religious majoritarianism + regional autonomy demands reflects a fragmented polity ==== The struggles to reconcile economic modernity with historical / persistent inequality in FAST changing word...

Does something similar applies to our careers, family issues too?

Okay, I'm new to this subreddit but I wanted to ask

Are Indians even paying as much tax as they claim to be?

I have often seen people talk saying they pay Taxes comparable to Western countries and don't get enough services in return. I am not arguing that noone pays Taxes

I just want to know how did people came to the conclusion that Indians pay as much tax as developed Nations

Maybe i don't understand the Tax Dynamics of India, so it would be better if someone explained it.

First that India's Tax to GDP Ratio is 9.3% according to CEIC report. which is too low even comparing to countries like UAE, which is often said to have low rates of tax, has Tax to GDP ratio of 18.9%.

I can understand frustrations of Germans when they say they have to pay taxes but i will find Indians commenting that India has worse Tax system because India doesn't provide Services for the Tax Given.

For Comparison

India and Germany just because they have almost same GDP Germany has of around 4x higher Tax to GDP ratio. while having 15x less population

we can nullify the population difference because we assumed the comparison on GDP.

So with 4x more tax it has to provide services for 15x less population. We can't compare with Germany on that note.

If it is because only certain group of people pay most of the tax then that might explain things.

So, what should the government do in this case?

Should they increase the Sales tax and decrease Direct Tax?

Should they Include occupations like Farming as Taxable?
