Wake up Government Netas and Babus
The kind of mania around UAE's Golden Visa for 23 lakhs is not just about immigration. It's a massive signal - a signal of how deeply frustrated the Indian middle and upper-middle class is with the tax system in India.
It genuinely feels like a scam sometimes when You slog your guts out, put in 10-12 hour days, generate value, and what happens? 40% to 50% of your hard-earned income vanishes - swallowed in direct and indirect taxes. And in return? What do you really get?
Crappy public healthcare. Broken roads. Chaotic urban planning. Overloaded public transport. Zero safety. Slow-as-snail courts. Skyrocketing education fees. Zero job security. No green spaces. No accountability. And still - no transparency in how your tax money is used.
That's the harsh truth.
And to make it worse - only a tiny fraction of people actually pay taxes. Salaried professionals and honest business owners carry the entire damn burden. And guess what? They're done. They've had enough. If you give them even half a chance to work remotely or settle abroad, they'll take it - just to escape this unjust system.
People are literally calculating how much they can save just by not living in India. The math adds up. Live in a tax-free or low-tax country, enjoy better infrastructure, public services, and peace of mind - all paid for by the tax they no longer pay in India.
And this isn't just an economic shift - it's an emotional rebellion. Against being punished for being compliant. Against watching corrupt netas, tax-evading businessmen, and fake “farmers” never pay a penny while enjoying all the privileges.
If this continues, India will be left with a brain drain of its most productive citizens - the very people who are still holding this system together.
The government needs to wake up. Reduce the tax burden on the salaried and professional class. Stop treating honest taxpayers like ATM machines. Instead, go after the ones hiding income, parking money in real estate and shell companies, and avoiding taxes in broad daylight. Reform the tax net. Fix enforcement. Improve public services. Build trust.
No one's saying the government is doing nothing, but it's not enough. Not when millions are now looking at Golden Visas, Global South residencies, or moving their jobs abroad - just to get a fair deal.
India needs to become a place where people want to stay, not one they're desperate to escape... more

Everyone needs to stood up for their own issues, make group and start asking from government. Else nothing will happen. It will go as is and swallow your hard earned money. more
