Making education (in)accessible 🤔
I cannot get my head around how our government is making education accessible to the masses? There is 18% GST on all types of education fees - which should be tax free to begin with. GST from education is counterproductive source of income IMO. And if we are paying 18% GST on education, there should be conscious efforts to upgrade the syllabus and more importantly - bridge the education and industries to impart practical skills to the students. What are your thoughts on this?
If everyone gets educated, how will they get their brainwashed votes 😂 (this is a generic statement across parties)
The government doesn't want people to get educated so that 80 crore people can enjoy free ration!

80 Cr people are fed ration, etc at ~0 prices. Kaha se aayega paisa?
It actually isn't even needed now, it is just a case of introducing yet another freebie, and then it becomes permanent because political parties don't have the balls to remove it. More so in the current freebie-superiority environment.

As I am reading, there's no GST on college tuition fee

Most of the high "education" spending is on coaching and expensive colleges. They should be taxed to death since they are a net negative to the education system of the country and are typically crony businesses.
Govt subsidised education (schools, state subsidised colleges, etc.) typically are dirt cheap, where such tax typically doesn't matter. For normal private schools with normal fees, it's not too much and payable by those who are going.
So it isn't a bad tax tbh.
Tax on health insurance for >50yo people is robbery.
