India is a Growing Economy and among the fastest growing economies of the world right now so as a growing economy I do get the point that the citizens should be taxed so that the Country can grow as fast as possible but I feel like right about now the Indian Government are going to cross the line where the taxes genuinely outweigh the benefits the Indian Citizens get from the Government.
Being an Indian Citizen comes with its rights and benefits among which there are
Right to Vote
Constitutional Rights
Travel Benefits
Employment Opportunities
Access to Government Facilities and many more
But today I will be focusing on a few key points where I feel like the Indian government is lacking severely and it is indeed affecting the whole taxes outweighing the benefits scenario. So let's start with the most obvious one which is
Employment Opportunities
Truth be told there are indeed Employment Opportunities here in India we just have to look for them and work hard towards them but when it comes to Government jobs it is a whole other topic, as there are little to no vacancies and even EMployment Opportunities are also not being created by the government as fast as possible as the workforce is increasing but the Jobs are not.
Travel Benefits
Indian Passport is ranked 85th in the entire world and if you ask me I will say that 85 in the entire world is simply a disappointing rank for an Economy as Big as India's. This means when we decide to travel abroad there are only 59 countries that allow Indians to enter without VISA. If you look at the Henley Passport Index India is looking miserable as there are several countries that are economically not so strong but their Passport Ranking is certainly higher than India.
Access to Government Facilities
Government Facilities in my opinion are Police Stations, Hospitals, Judiciary System and many more and it is sad to say that almost in all those above aspects the Facilities are not upto mark at all. I can't say for all the states in India but where I live the state of Hospitals are brutal and it is heavily underfunded. The same goes for Government Schools, Judiciary systems, and more.
So it is the fact that we are getting marginally way lesser than what we are paying for taxes is the root of my issue. It wasn't this way for the last few years but the taxation in India has just seen an upward movement and the Facilities or the Benefits we get for paying our taxes are just not up to the mark. It definitely needs a lot of work.
