They DON'T Want You To Understand Taxes. That’s The Point.

Why do taxes in India feel so unfair and confusing, especially if you’re a middle‑class salaried person? In this video, we break down how decades of political experiments turned India’s tax system into a maze of slabs, loopholes, and GST quirks, where honesty often hurts more than hidden wealth. From Indira Gandhi’s 90%+ tax era to popcorn GST debates, we explore why only a tiny share of Indians pays income tax directly, why everyone gets hit indirectly, and why it still feels like the system isn’t built for people like you.
