even if individual direct tax contribution is low, that doesn’t magically make the loot not from the common man. Corporate tax is ultimately borne by consumers through higher prices or by shareholders/employees. The extraction pipeline is just longer and more indirect. The ultimate source remains the same!!. Even in the example you cited, monthly subscription was being paid by common man, no matter it included taxes or not! When politicians extract money from government contracts or force monopolies (like your cable example), they are still diverting resources that originated in the broader economy created and sustained by ordinary people’s work!!
thanks. that example actually strengthens my original point rather than refuting it. yes, political parties and families can generate massive loot through crony laws, regulatory captures. Sumangali Cable case in TN is a textbook illustration. DMK linked interests built a near-monopoly on cable distribution. then funnelled monthly subscription money from millions of ordinary households straight into that private network. Jayalalithaa later tried to break it with takeover legislation because the common person was being fleeced. the money did not appear out of thin air. it came from the pockets of the common man. the ultimate source remains the same.
Not a single Muslim name from a province that was 55% Muslim ! Doesn’t it strike anyone as odd?
We must understand that Bengali Muslims and Bengali Hindus belong to different planets. Their religion, naming, politics, society, food, clothing, attitude towards women, worldview, EVERYTHING is different. One Kazi Nazrul Islam or one Syed Mujtaba Ali do not detract from this truth.
The persecution that Bengali Muslims have done to Bengali Hindus, and are still doing, in East Bengaldefies description; but even more astonishing is the silence that Bengali Hindus have observed about it under the influence of Gandhi-Nehruism and Marxism.
It is this attitude of denial that will lead the religio-linguistic group called Bengali Hindus to extinction.
@SwamiGanesan1@UnSubtleDesi@PreetiChoudhry the ultimate source is still the same pool of public wealth that ordinary people create. common man ends up paying for both the"welfare" programs and the loot. both are redirected public funds.

Most of us never learned his name in school. This animated film tells his full story in 27 minutes.
Watch and share widely. This is a story that deserves to be known. Jai Shri Krishna.

Bollywood can't make Srimad Ramayana for a straightforward reason: there are NO actors who are endowed with a face that exudes the Soumya Bhava. Every face reeks of Tamas. Sadly, South Indian film industry is headed the same way.
Trailer is a disappointment. The VFX looks overcooked and artificial, the storytelling feels flat, and the whole thing lacks the emotional punch and grandeur one expects from such a massive project. If this is the best they could show after all the hype, the movie is almost certainly going to struggle. Looks like another big budget heading straight for flop territory. And what exactly is this Namit Malhotra’s #Ramayana? Did he become a holy sage?

@BefittingFacts Sorry but these giant Namaste hands look straight out of a haunted movie set. Eerie, oversized, and low-key creepy under those lights!!. Whoever designed these had zero sense of aesthetics!.
Namaste, Ma'am...Aapko 1 story sunata hoon....
In the summer of 1980, a distraught 7th grade boy stood in the courtyard of a modest house in Mylapore, watching his father toss his cricket bat down a deep well. A fast bouncer had shattered the boy's spectacles during a local match & his father, a renowned Sanskrit logician, was terrified for his son's sight.
"Your cricket days are done," his father declared, handing him a violin. "If you want to master precision, master this."
The boy did not throw a tantrum. He directed his focus toward the strings, training until he was performing alongside musical legends, even taking direct corrections from Bharat Ratna M.S. Subbulakshmi.
5 yrs later, he suffered another blow: he failed to clear the IIT-JEE examination.
He did not give up. He enrolled in a regional engineering college, quietly mastering computer science logic gates. He eventually worked his way into IIT Madras as a postgrad researcher, earned a PhD, joined as a prof & eventually became the Director of the very institute that had once turned him away.
By 2011, while the world was building consumer mobile apps, this prof was looking at a hidden national vulnerability: every radar, fighter jet, banking server & defense system in India was running on foreign-designed microprocessors.
He had a single question in his mind: "We can test that a foreign chip does what we WANT it to do. But can we guarantee it does not do something we DO NOT want it to do when a war starts?"
He proposed building a completely indigenous, industrial-grade microprocessor from scratch. Global tech giants insisted it could not be done w/o billions of dollars in infrastructure & massive foreign patents.
He did not care. Working out of cramped labs on long shifts, he & his team adopted the open source RISC-V instruction set. They hand-coded logic gates, mapped silicon layouts & verified billions of instruction cycles.
In July 2018, a tiny 16mm² piece of silicon codenamed Risecreek arrived back at the lab. The team wired it up, flipped the switch & watched a flickering monitor as the Linux operating system booted on 100% Indian-designed silicon for the 1st time in history.
Today, his SHAKTI processor architecture powers everything from defense communications to space grade controllers built in collaboration with ISRO.
That young boy whose father threw his cricket bat down a well...
The student who missed the JEE list in 1985...
The violinist who turned down the official IIT Director's mansion to stay in his family home & protect his late father's Sanskrit library...
His name is Prof. Veezhinathan Kamakoti.
@theskindoctor13 They can churn out a thousand more Batwaras, force-feeding Hindus the flipped history stories where Pakistan and its ideology always get the halo!!. One Dhurandhar was enough to shatter that entire fake narrative!!.
