Patriotism at crossroads

In two different minds here

Of late I have been watching many India glorifying movies/shows - Rocketry, Manikarnika, Rocket Boys. On other hand, riots based on community and religion make me wonder how can people put own country down.

Then, I am paying for 2.5 months of salary in tax. But am I benefitting from it? The road outside house has been broken before monsoons, gets even worse now. Also read this tweet in the morning https://twitter.com/Bihar_ke_lala/status/1681715711096541185 and wondered if the love for country just blind.

Time to leave India…

If someone in India earns a CTC of 50 LPA or 1 crore+ with 10-15+ years of experience, but faces a 40% deduction (due to tax, PF, etc.), does it make sense to continue working in India or consider relocating if given an opportunity? Desp...

[Realisation] I don't support BJP, but I want them to win.

This realisation is purely a selfish thing, which led me to think of reasons behind my friends supporting the BJP.

I absolutely hate BJP's hate, religion, divide&rule politics, and I'm sure most BJP supporters themselves also hate that,...
