Every indian pays — not just in taxes, but in patience, in frustration, and in the silent tears shed behind traffic jams and hospital queues. We bleed 50% of our income to a system that gives us potholes instead of roads, chaos instead of justice, and corruption instead of governance. This is not the india that was promised. This is the india that was pawned.
30% Income Tax — For What, Exactly?
You slog through deadlines, survive inflation, and hand over nearly a third of your income to the government. In return, you get… cratered roads, collapsing bridges, and an economy where merit dies faster than honesty.
10% Corruption Fee — The Nation’s Hidden Tax.
Whether it’s a file in a government office, a seat in a college, or even a death certificate — there’s always someone with their hand out. This is the unofficial tax that fuels the official decay.
10% Inflation — The Silent Theft.
Every year, your savings shrink, your groceries rise, and your dream of owning a home drifts further away. You’re not living — you’re surviving a system designed to drain, not deliver.
No Roads, No Respect.
The potholes aren’t accidents — they’re signatures of neglect. Billions vanish in “infrastructure budgets,” yet commuters die daily on roads that look like war zones.
Traffic: The Daily Torture Chamber.
You spend years of your life trapped in endless jams, inhaling fumes of frustration, while politicians fly above it all in taxpayer-funded helicopters.
Merit is Dead. Mediocrity Reigns.
Jobs don’t go to the deserving. They go to the connected. Talent is taxed; corruption is rewarded. This isn’t democracy — it’s nepotism in national costume.
Bribes Even in Death.
When a grieving parent has to pay to get their daughter’s death certificate, the country has already died long before her. The moral compass of the nation has rusted beyond repair.
⚡ The Punchline
We were told our freedom was won by blood.
But what if it was sold — for votes, for power, for silence?
If this is the india our freedom fighters dreamed of, then their sacrifice wasn’t just in vain — it’s been betrayed.
