Bank fraud in Barshi
Just superb reporting by @parthpunter in @PARInetwork

In Maharashtra, small cooperative banks are being forced to give large unsecured loans to political masters, while small debtors are being defrauded. An investigative story https://t.co/wla4nYVohp

A child scolds a poor coconut vendor, who sells door to door trying to make ends meet in scorching Indian summers, to “take back his plastic,�� while adults celebrate it as “standing up to a grown-up.”

Then the mother of the said child appears on camera, fully decked out in 20+ makeup products for that perfect dewy glow… Guess what those products are sold in? You guessed it right — plastic packaging!

This is what insulated privilege looks like.

Only in Bengaluru.

Namma Metro breaks down. Cabs vanish. Autos refuse. And IT employees in India's Silicon Valley are hitchhiking on trucks and lorries to get home. All this after paying high fares.

Forget Hyperloop and AI. We've unlocked Truck-as-a-Service for commuting.

Thousands of students caused major disruption at Patliputra Railway Station in Bihar after several trains carrying Bihar Police Prohibition Constable exam candidates reportedly ran late.

Angry aspirants jumped onto railway tracks and stopped train movement, demanding urgent arrangements to reach their exam centres on time. The protest led to significant rail disruption, with multiple trains stranded for hours late into the night.

The agitation continued for several hours before authorities persuaded the students to clear the tracks, restoring rail operations gradually.

Ambulance stopped by Jaipur police for CM’s convoy (btw count cars).

These things are so annoying in Jaipur. Police starts clearing & blocking route not just for CM but various ministers too.

Is it justified to stop the ambulance? Is there such a security threat to Raj CM?

Private school fees are rising faster than regulation, leaving parents with shrinking options and growing pressure. Weak oversight and uneven rules are deepening the financial strain on families.

India’s poorest pay higher effective tax rates than the rich, finds major new study by Prof Mukulika Banerjee of the LSE.

Speaking on cine ink podcast London Vārta: New World Order, Prof Banerjee notes:

Lower-income Indians are shouldering a disproportionately heavy tax burden compared with the wealthiest sections of society, according to new research that challenges widely held assumptions about the country’s tax system.

Dr Mukulika Banerjee, a leading political anthropologist, has revealed that while everyone pays the same Goods and Services Tax (GST) on everyday items, the impact falls far more heavily on the poor when measured as a proportion of their income.

“Everyone pays GST – indirect tax – and the poor in India end up paying a higher proportion of their income in tax than the rich,” Dr Banerjee explained. “If you buy a packet of biscuits and a rickshaw puller also buys a packet of biscuits, the GST charged on that packet is exactly the same for both of you. But the rickshaw puller earns far less than you, so in proportion to his income, he is paying a much higher rate of tax. When you aggregate this across the country, the bottom fifty per cent of the Indian population is paying a higher proportion of their income in tax.”

Her findings, part of a British Academy-Leverhulme Senior Fellowship, raise serious questions about taxation, inequality, and the health of India’s democracy. Fieldwork data paints a stark picture of the country’s extreme wealth gap: a daily-wage construction worker, fruit vendor, or pavement tailor earning around ₹30,000 per month qualifies for the top 10 per cent of earners, while half of all Indians survive on just ₹6,000 a month. Meanwhile, the top 1 per cent captures a strikingly large share of national income.

The Pune Porsche Case, which took the lives of innocent young people, revealed how unfair the justice system is.

On one side, parents are left mourning children they will never see again; on the other side, celebrations break out over the granting of bail.

Justice in this country is never “JUST.”

Dear @IncomeTaxIndia, stop taking income tax even before salary is credited to my bank account. Who worked the whole month, you or me? Have some common sense. At the end of the year, if I owe taxes after expenses, I will pay them, just like corporates do. Why is the salaried middle class treated differently every single time? Stop this nonsense. Enough of squeezing honest taxpayers. @FinMinIndia @nsitharaman

In any sane society, the committee of the six bureaucrats who allowed this would be made to face consequences. Terminated, if possible and pensions stopped, if retired to recover this money.

Again? Ever happened?
Why not regulate hospital charges?
Doctors' consultation is just 10-30% of hospital bill, probably smallest component?
Why not regulate lawyers' consultation fee?
Why not hire 1000s of docs across India for govt service to keep consultation fee low?

Does this mean they looted:

₹30,000 crores every month
₹3.6 lakh crores every year
₹18 lakh crores in 5 years

by refusing to pass on the benefit of lower crude oil prices to the public?

Where did all that money go? Indians paid record fuel prices for years while governments and oil companies stayed silent.

Tell us the truth instead of lecturing citizens every single time.
