The pain of RESERVATION

I am working as software engineer at FAANG. I pay ~1.25L income tax per month. It pains me a lot. Since being general class male, I never got any benefit from but these govt is looting me. There are many small shopkeeper, landlords, farmers who earn more than me but none of them is paying tax but here I am paying such huge tax like loser. What should I do? Should I move abroad where even though I will still pay 30% tax but still I will have more money than being in India, or should I open a shop like of clothes, or chai?

If not IITJEE, share your rank or percentage from any major exam or competition.. Personally, I sucked at IITJEE and my rank was 112,700. I am ashamed to talk about this to anyone normally but here I can share it.

Any ways to end something like this? Atleast for our kids in the future,kinda worried about,where things are heading tbh.

Gist- Prepared for JEE in Allen Kota, always been a low confidence , never believed in myself . Failed to clear JEE advance. Got Decent rank in SRM, VIT & State Eng. Exam then I did engineering from state's private college. I was always passionate about computer sciecne, deeply invested my time in competitive programming/core subjects & started to believing in myself. Somehow due to some reason, I left all of this & landed in Service based company, did not got the work i wished for, still procrastinated there & It took me almost 3.5 years to leave the company then moved to product based startup but still not competent enoguh to land role in some of best startup/orgs. During this phase I started to loose my hair & still loosing day by day(got so much insecurity). I tried multiple things to stop hair loss but failed. Doctors says it's androgenic alopecia. Due to long working hourse I got some other health problems too. I feel life is always unfair.I don't know how to fill this void. I can't compromise becuase i always pushed myself beyond my limits, but in this case can'do enough.

Whenever I read foreign media outlets, India is the new Asian Tiger that will outpace most emerging economies in growth. But Indian media and Indian people act like India is the worst place to be. The dichotomy is extremely confusing. Why is it that foreign media coverage on our economy is more favourable than our own hopes and aspirations from this country? PS: I am really big on Indian Exceptionalism, the belief that India's economic development and trajectory are unique or exceptional compared to other nations, driven by our large and diverse population, thriving middle class, our entrepreneurial spirit, and the emphasis on technology and innovation.

After seeing current placement stats of top IITs, even after Day6 not even 50% of the batch is unplaced can we say that 2024 is the unluckiest batch? Students with good CGPA, having internships in reputed internships are not getting placed. It's worse for mediocre students. What are alternativev for these unplaced students?
