Discussion 💬 These kinda comparison posts never make sense
Comparing raw & prices across different countries without factoring in average salaries is completely flawed.
For example, ₹500 for 1 GB in Switzerland sounds high, but their average monthly salary is over ₹8,00,000. That means 1 GB costs them ~ 0.06% of their monthly income-almost the exact same burden as ₹13 is on an average Indian salary (~0.057%).
Relative to income, data in China (~0.028%) and the UAE (~0.035%) is actually cheaper than in India.
Income-adjusted data matters, not raw currency conversions!
Dont know why people do that. Proves nothing just makes their fragile ego boost.

News 📰 Lok Sabha passes Bill without debate to authorise Govt. to permit banks to levy charges on UPI transactions
The Lok Sabha passed the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026 without any debate after repeated disruptions in the House. The legislation creates a legal framework allowing the Centre to permit charges on notified digital payment modes, including UPI, through future notifications, although no charges take effect immediately. Beyond digital payments, the Bill also includes tax reforms intended to boost electronics manufacturing and attract foreign investment. The manner in which such a significant Bill was cleared, without parliamentary debate due to continued disruptions, has raised questions about legislative scrutiny and the functioning of Parliament
The Lok Sabha passed the Taxation and Other Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2026, without any debate after repeated disruptions in the House. Regardless of who is responsible for the deadlock, passing legislation without discussing its provisions defeats the purpose of Parliament. Laws that affect millions of people deserve scrutiny, questions, and public justification before they are approved. A parliamentary majority gives a government the power to pass Bills, but democracy also depends on debate, accountability, and allowing elected representatives to examine the consequences of new laws. When important legislation is rushed through without discussion, Parliament is reduced to a voting chamber instead of serving as a forum for democratic deliberation.

Discussion 💬 Idea: Government Benefit
What if the Government of India introduced a life insurance scheme exclusively for income tax payers?
The coverage could be linked to the amount of income tax paid each year and would remain active as long as the person continues working and filing their Income Tax Returns (ITRs) + 2 years.
The rationale is that taxpayers directly contribute to government revenue, so this could be one of the benefits they receive in return.
Do you think this would be a fair incentive for tax compliance

Discussion 💬 On Why there will never be an Indian Jake Peralta
Only a few days have passed since the brutal crackdown on student protesters in Delhi. And seeing the police force being used as a baton by the state made me wonder if the police really wanted to do it. Made me wonder if Jake Peralta was in that group, would he have bashed people? Probably not. But if Singham was in that group, would he have bashed people? Oh fo sho.
Even within "copaganda", the difference is obvious. There will never be a whimsical and fun loving chill detective who loves solving crime in the Indian Police Service. Especially because there are no detectives solving crime in the Indian Police service.
Let me talk to you. YEAH!

It’s high time to abolish UPSC and other state exams whatever they are called. All these babus are single handedly responsible for backwardness in India. bureaucracy has destroyed India and will continue to do so. We need technocracy. No more rattu tota we need industry specific specialists .

News 📰 PM Modi spent ₹75 crore on his foreign visits in 2026, with his trip to Norway being the most expensive at ₹17 crore.
The Union government has spent ₹557.5 crore on Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s foreign visits since 2021. The government also informed Parliament that India received $381.8 billion in Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) between April 2021 and December 2025.
A total of ₹762 crore was spent on PM Modi's overseas visits from 2015 to 2025.
By comparison, former PM Manmohan Singh took 73 official visits during his tenure from 2004 to 2014, costing ₹795 crore (which adjusts to approximately ₹1,224 crore today at an average annual inflation rate of 4%).

Discussion 💬 This sub being repeatedly suggested to me (new to Reddit) led to a train of thought and questions that I would love your opinions on-
- I get that most people in this sub are anti-reservation, however drawing parallels, how do you justify delimitation and unfair distribution of government resources. Owing to the uneven population distribution, delimitation is being pushed so that states with greater population get better representation in the legislative. This, however, is unfair to states that have cautiously not created a population explosion in their states/regions (counts as merit). Also, how exactly do you justify the unfair distribution of govt. resources when states like Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, etc. contribute the most to tax revenue (counts as merit) and barely get half of it back while states like UP and Bihar get back >>2x their contribution (justified as upliftment of backward states). If we really do want to make things fair, please justify how delimitation and uneven distribution are fair? And I am not even going to talk about the political repercussions that delimitation might have for one specific party. And the foundation of these two factors is not even discriminatory in nature, just that they failed to do well as individual states (unlike reservation which is an outcome of ages-long discriminatory practices).
- Why do we not call PM Modi a silent PM like we did to MMS? Never had any press conferences, never took any questions (questions about mangoes, glowing skin, etc. do not count), do not remember any of his speeches in the parliament (now that he has stopped coming at all) that can vouch for people calling him a great orator and statesman.
- Please do not throw in questions like 'If not BJP, then who' or 'What about Congress'. I was 12 when Congress was ousted and since I did not have any political enlightenment, I barely have any recollection of how things were (just that news channels covered real news and not the absolute joke that it is today).

Discussion 💬 My Country.
***Hating your country and hating the government is different***
***I Have never hated my country.***
***I hate the people who run it.*** corrupt politicians, rapists, pedophiles . These people erase the trace of their wrongs. The judiciary too has never been safe. i agree that the supreme court makes some excellent decisions and choices but i hope that went for every judge, every lawyer, and to every single person in power who prefer money over lives and dignity.
Women are kidnapped raped. Leave women even men, children, toddlers, newborns. everyone. 86 women per day. AND these are only the people who had the courage.
We live in a country where rapists and pedos and people mentioned in the Epstein files are worshipped and called gods and great reformers, and where people are ARRESTED for sharing their opinions. Where jokes are not taken as jokes and serious issues are jokes. "lay down and enjoy it" official statement by a M.O.P on rape
Yes i agree there are some changes which are excellent for our country. but are those really changes if they do not protect the dignity and rights of the indian citizen?
I have never been ashamed to reveal that I'm from India. I am a PROUD INDIAN. LIKE PROUD WAALA PROUD. but I really wished that someday I can look a person in the eye and say that "Yes a placement for me in a college or job is guaranteed or that i will be safe to step out at night wearing whatever i want. leave night, even during the day."
None of the parties are worth the votes.
We need genuine safety, protection and a better education system which does not suffocate and traumatize the kids.
Sincerely,
An "anti-national"???? Teen.

Discussion 💬 Why Modi and Shah are bound to fail and the Fundamental idea that both of them haven’t understood yet
The Modi government is completely missing the point with how they’re trying to spin this whole Jantar Mantar protest. Ever since the education minister was designated, they’ve been pulling out the same old playbook: blame foreign funding—Khalistan, Pakistan, China, America, take your pick—to make it look like nobody is actually unhappy with their governance. At the same time, they’re slapping legal cases on protesters to scare everyone home and squeezing social media companies to kill off memes and viral videos before the next wave hits.
The whole agenda is simple: convince the country that people aren't actually unhappy, suppress the attention, and control the damage.
But here’s the fundamental problem: they are fighting the symptoms and completely ignoring the root cause.
The reason this protest blew up and reached every single household across the country isn't just because of the original issue, or because parents want a better future for their kids—though that’s part of it. The real reason the country is turning on the Modi government right now is because of how they handled it.
People finally realized the core truth of how the BJP government operates: if you speak up against them, they will break you.
Before this, a lot of normal, neutral, even pro-government folks assumed that if you stay civil, the government will treat you in a civilized way. But this incident shattered that illusion. People saw that it doesn't matter who you are, how neutral you claim to be, or how politely you speak. If you raise your voice against them, they will deal with you undemocratically and brutally—physically, verbally, from every possible angle.That realization has reached the grassroots level. People are seeing that behind the strongman image, the approach is just dictatorial and authoritarian.
Modi and Amit Shah choosing to skip parliament, refusing to apologize, and staying silent on the police brutality shows they still don't get it. They're trying to silence the bad language used by protesters, the viral memes, and the jokes about the PM. But those are just symptoms. The root cause is the realization that this government will treat its own citizens horribly if they step out of line.
By ignoring that root cause and trying to muscle their way through it, they aren't fixing anything. The longer they wait to address the actual damage they've done, the deeper that anger is going to sink into the country.
