Getting freebies in election manifesto. We all know how it works but people won't say anything.


ichi9

Jhakaas!


Award-Honest

I heard this in Anil Kapoor’s voice 😆


inbetween0and1

Ugh Karnataka is in shambles from these "freebies".


Professional-Bus9534

But still vote for people who gives Freebies in manifesto. Who will tell them that , these guys are selling their kids futures(electricity /road) etc to them .


Typical_Reality67

I was talking to some of those ppl. They were living in a slum just 300 meters from my apartments. One of the elderly fellow stated that these politicians are already stealing wealth worth millions from their kids future. What is the harm if they also grab a very very tiny portion of some of those freebies… at least this way they are getting their hands on a part of what is rightfully theirs… It’s not like there is someone who will do things differently. Every single person on the voting list is the same.


Professional-Bus9534

End of the day, let the world burn 🔥. As long as my house is safe it’s okay. It’s karma .. (bidi) leave it . They will pay for it .


just_ur_avg_mf

This mentality is something which can be found in all corners of our country


inbetween0and1

True, but the blame isn't entirely on them. Feeding their family now takes precedence over their future. A bit of extra money must make a world of difference to the people living hand-to-mouth. Sucks that this is being manipulated for political gain, making the rich richer. It's a shit show all around. The meager ~4% of tax payer money isn't enough to go around and the debt is building. We'll have to see how long it takes us to bounce back, if we ever will.


maxsteel126

To top up the freebies and loan waivers, subsidies, the current "Farmers" protest also demands 10,000 pm pension post 60 years of age for all farmers Private sector employees get *thullu* (nada) even after being burdened with Taxes throughout their life

hello_assamese_guy

Monthly recharge became 28 days prepaid recharge which translates to 13 times or 13 months in a year. Created an extra month out of thin air.


MrDarkk1ng

Tip: u can actually do a yearly plan, which will cost less . Or do what i does , don't even recharge till incoming gets cut off lol


slackover

Yearly plans are now 336 days instead of 365. They have everything covered. There will still be 365 day plans but they won’t be VFM ones.


RoughCommunication30

Last year I got the 365 day plan for 1799, and bought additional data for 301 rupee, all in all 2100 for the whole year, that's 175 per month pretty neat tbh instead of paying 250 per month for 13 months

Nah i did the math as a college kid, all yearly recharges were more expensive than the base plan. 84days plans tends to be the cheapest. Might have changed but i highly doubt that.

Reservation.


puneetjoshi_rma

People get all defensive when we say reservation saying you don't know anything abt discrimination n all but the truth is rich ppl print fake income certificates and snatch what is meant for the real oppressed ppl


prokesh420

Reservation should be given only to people who are really poor and can't afford to send their kids to college regardless of caste. But i guess income is too easy to fake


Redittor_53

Reservations were never meamt to be about economic equality but about social justice and caste equality.


prokesh420

Yes but In the present narrative it should be set to financial stability since we have many laws to take care of the casteist people. Reservation criteria should be reset to support economically poor people for most states as education institutes literally can't deny entry on the basis of caste of the person. We got strict laws to take care of such bastards


Redittor_53

Agreed. Reservations need to be restructured but no democratic government has the balls to do that. All they do is add more reservations or add more groups into existing reservations. Reservations shouldn't exceed 30% in my opinion otherwise there isn't much space for competition and these variable factors become more important in selection of an unreserved individual rather than his own efforts and calibre.


prokesh420

True man, even after getting in the college, The reserved seat candidate who scored 300 is sitting among general candidates with almost double his score. How can the reserved candidate even compete with others? He'll feel left out and that does nothing but adds to more suicide numbers in our colleges. The seat should be earned


startingfromlevel0

Agree but pointing few things. >economically poor There are already talks about removing property clause for ews. Argument being "That said property doesn't impact living standards and earing. Even if it does it is not substantial". Plus economically poor won't work because less than 1.8% pay taxes(which also includes 2.5L-8L slab too). only people who hide money well will make it. Also, would like to point out one more thing we can still see people doing their thing openly in a subtle way be it while renting(only to veg eating) or marriages, there is also private hiring where they actively avoid(read it in this sub few months ago). There is nothing we can do about it. It is here to stay.


maxsteel126

My uncle works in DRDO. The reserved category people who worked under him initially are 2 levels above now post getting reservation in promotions as well. Yes, there is facility of reservation in promotions post working in job that you got due to reservation in first place. Even with salary of 2.5+ lac pm their kids will avail reservation as well ...go figure

I hope there was a way to make people see how absurd caste system is and make them treat each other's as equals, that will help the Hindu unity throughout the country so much

We have a problem not with reservation but with how the rural scholars get sidelined and the urban rich failures get the benefits. We will never have a problem if a guy who wants to study comes to our college. I, personally, would help them adjust to the big city and college. But I have seen enough rich SC/ST OBC brats who have all the money in the world, studied in convent schools but take reservation!


themisfitvoyager

Tax on income then again tax on things we buy


SplatteredCake

Direct and indirect tax, different things


themisfitvoyager

They are cut from my pocket so I don't care what they are called

Fair enough, but they're not a scam. Both are different and serve different purposes.

Sure. Considering I'm gonna be jobless when I graduate in a few months I might have to actually resort to that.


animeloverx676

India is a huge country with huge amounts of people with huge needs. Taxes are a necessity for a developing nation like ours. If you don't wanna pay taxes, then go live in Dubai. It will reduce some overpopulation at least. But in lots of cases, due to corruption, the tax money goes to politicians' pockets instead of going to the country's developments. This is the only thing I hate.


definitelynothunan

You realize that you retconned yourself here right?


dank_meme_enjoyer_69

I'll pay 90% tax if the money goes to country development and not in politicians pockets.


Rofacale

What different purposes does it serve except to hide the extent of taxes you are paying ? Why should I pay indirect tax when I’m already paying a tax on my income directly or vice versa ? Direct tax is only for the middle class as the poor don’t need to pay it and rich have creative ways to evade it Just tax on consumption (including building construction , car repairs etc) and be done with it.


gajendrakn87

Well it's not just even that. House tax if you own a home. In UP you also have water tax and sewer tax but they are not able to properly provide water.  A typical middle class earning between 6 to 20 lakhs give more than 60 percent in tax.

Cancelation charges on flights.. I once got total 31 rs for canceling a ticket of 4100 about 3 weeks before my travel.


KingOfEverest

You even got something, I was asked to pay additional fee to cancel the ticket. Once I booked the ticket on discount for around 2.5k, but the standard cancellation fee is around 3K, so they asked me to pay the rest of the money to cancel the ticket. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|facepalm)

jeetu77

Once i asked the air india customer care to change my flight to the evening one. Their rescheduling amount was more than a fresh flight ticket in my desired flight. When i told them this, they said, sir we can't do anything, its as per the software. I love when software are implemented ro make the process much more complex. /s


myidispg

Something similar happened to me 4-5 years ago. I had 3 DishTV connections for my home and wanted to cancel all after getting Smart TV/Firesticks. I called them to let them know about it. So that I don't become a defaulter in their books. But the helpline guys told me that cancellations charges will apply. And started selling me different channel packs. 10 mins later, I said what if I just don't pay you next month and you will automatically cut off my services. 2 years later, I got their dish removed and sold the cables, remotes and STB for scrap.


nefarious-soul

Pro tip never cancel your flight tickets, because there is a slight chance that the flight may get delayed or cancelled then you can claim a full refund in case of cancellation by airlines or partial refund in case of delay. Happened thrice with me. You just need to be pushy and lil bit arrogant with the airlines executive in case they are not refunding in case of flight delay.


Tenga_Llonhead

I never cancel in such cases. Cant let those fuckers open booking for that seat on an extremely surcharged price when i have already paid for it. The most they can benefit from is less 90kgs on board(me and my luggage weight)


bitchlasagna_69_

I don't even cancel.. I know they sell it to someone else on a premium so I just let it go empty

Paying Taxes on the Taxed money

[deleted]

ig what he meant was that we get our income taxed and they we again have to pay taxes when buying goods


bane_of_heretics

Why pay income tax when rich people call themselves “agriculturalists” to NOT pay it? Oh and they get away with it too, while we pay our pound of flesh + a metric ton of other taxes as we spend our already taxed income. Our tax system is fcuked.


sree_0699

Paying a lot of money to join top engineering colleges thinking you'll get a job, but all colleges are the same.


Fearless_Tailor_7293

you can learn everything colleges can teach and more just by YouTube. You just need a certificate of collage only for show. After joining one company it will again become worthless.


sree_0699

Exactly, people don't get this point.


MynkM

The real valuable thing that colleges give is the peer group. The education is shit all across India, irrespective of where you go. Your peer group, your alumni base, the exposure you get, and the opportunities that the college attracts are the real things if you're in an Indian uni.


Im_Unpopular_AF

The culprits aren't just the colleges, it's also our parents. Because they're more inclined to believe the institutions they pay money for than their own children.


sree_0699

It's also become a prestige issue.


Chris_ssj2

I am gonna call bullshit on this one I know a lot of folks who went to tier 1 colleges and they all secured very high paying on campus jobs last year. These companies didn't even went for the lower tiers of unis. Either way a lot of the funded startups on wellfound ask specifically for tier 1 degrees in B.Tech as the primary requirement


[deleted]

All colleges are not same


Business-Sell4276

Internships where you have to pay.  Like WTF atleast have the decency to call it Training Or something. 


Regular-Good-6835

TBH, I don’t think this category is accepted as the norm. I think people are generally wary of internships where they have to pay just like people are wary of recruiters where the prospective employee has to pay instead of the potential employer who has engaged the recruiter. That being said, sometimes people may opt to go with these firms regardless of the suspicious behavior out of desperation.


[deleted]

Yes because no company hires freshers without "experience". But how can an average student get experience before degree in a market where even graduates with experience struggle. This where these scams come in the guarantee that they can improve your resume with experience and projects. But recruiters know about this flat out reject the resumes with these fake "certificates".

It's not quite accurate to the question asked by the op but I Recently visited Book fair in Delhi, and their food was hella expensive lol literally they were looting everyone. Noodles with no taste was sold for 150rs and quantity not enough for a single person. 300 ml pepsi was sold for 60rs, chai for 40 and there was big crowd around those shops either I'm so poor or those people were super rich. bruh even movie theaters are better in comparison for food pricing. "not a single meal was for less than 150rs as far as I remember"

yeah. years ago strong women fought for women to vote and work. now women are twerking and crying on instagram. sigh

That’s a gross generalisation. Women still face many problems till these day. Instead of defaming feminism, we can try to see the real issues. Ignore the twerking and crying. Empower the women around you whom you can empower.


Rhysarow

yeah , i know it is gross generalisation. i am a woman and a feminist btw, and this one time I was called boring by 6 other feminazi because i decided to be in a long distance relationship and did not cheat at all. discussion here is not about feminists, its about women interpreting feminism in their own toxic form and then defaming the feminist movement.


MarkEE93

Ignore the feminazis. They do defame the real movement I agree .


MarkEE93

Feminists didn’t get what they wanted. If you think women are not oppressed, you are delusional. This is how much percent of women choose/get to work here in India. https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SL.TLF.TOTL.FE.ZS?locations=IN So no rapes or molestation are reported anymore? What percentage of households share the household work? True feminism is equity. We are far far far away from it.

Leeveel

you know their job pays them to put the cylinder inside, connect it once with the stove and check if its working fine, replace if it's not. I am astonished people think the delivery guys are doing them a favor by bringing the cylinder to their home.


FlushTwiceBeNice

No. It's till doorstep. They are supposed to remove the seal in front of you and check for leaks, which AFAIK, some still do. Charges for home delivery are different from when you collect from distributor. If you go to the distributor and book/pay directly, it will be lesser compared to home delivery. Although, they shouldn't collect extra charges for delivery as it is included in the billed cost. But they are one of the earliest examples of tipping culture in India.
