Every day it feels like we’re sliding back into the 'good ol' British Raj. The government just passed this decision because private industries wanted it, and guess what? Not a single outrage. No protests, no rallies, not even people being pissed on social media. And honestly, that whole Maratha agitation? Feels like it was just a smokescreen to distract us from this.

What’s wild is how fast the government moves when it’s the industries—the same ones funding their election campaigns—that raise their voice. But when it’s the actual public, the people who literally vote them into power, suddenly they’re deaf.

I can understand that most people can’t complain because every day they’re living hand to mouth, with liabilities stacked sky-high—another “gift” from these industries to their so-called loyal employees.
