GST on Job Application Forms: Exploitation of Aspirants by the Government
Priyanka Gandhi has rightly condemned the imposition of 18 % GST on government job application forms. In a country grappling with high unemployment, such a tax on already expensive application fees—adding ₹180 to a ₹1,000 fee or ₹108 to a ₹600 one—only magnifies the financial burden on economically strained families. Parents sacrifice relentlessly to support their children’s education, yet the government chooses to commodify aspirations by treating job forms as revenue streams. It’s especially unconscionable when exam leaks and systemic corruption are rampant. Rather than making access to government employment harder, the state should be reducing obstacles, not adding new ones.

Crowds Aren’t Policy.Minister Uday Samant’s remark cuts through the noise: too many leaders are gazing at Manoj Jarange’s mobilisations and sketching their “victory plans,” instead of stating a clear position on the hardest question—should Marathas be included under OBC, and if so, how will OBC rights be protected? The opportunism is glaring. On one hand, opposition leaders court Jarange’s base; on the other, they march to “save” OBC reservations. You can’t promise both outcomes without a constitutional roadmap and data on social and educational backwardness. Meanwhile, the state lists schemes delivered and committees at work. The public deserves transparent criteria, timelines, and a single, testable commitment—not slogans calibrated to the size of a rally. Policy must outlast rallies; justice must outlive election arithmetic.

Maharashtra’s British Playbook Problem. Keshav Upadhyay is right: a handful of parties are practicing colonial statecraft—divide-and-rule dressed up as modern politics. Caste blocs are sliced, regions set against each other, and defections are engineered not to govern better but to weaken rivals. The result is paralysis: fragile coalitions, weaponised agencies, and a culture of perpetual electioneering that crowds out jobs, agrarian reform and urban governance. Maharashtra doesn’t need intrigue; it needs predictable policy. Parties should publish seat-sharing logic, sign transparent coalition contracts, and bind themselves to district-wise KPIs—water, roads, schools, law and order. Enforce stricter anti-defection rules with cooling-off periods and bar defectors from instant office. Fund campaigns publicly and audit promises quarterly. Retire the British playbook. Restore a Marathi grammar of power consensus, competence and courage so government stops gaming society and starts serving it. Voters deserve clarity, not conspiracies masquerading as strategy, and accountability.

“Politics Be Damned”—The Right Stand. Devendra Fadnavis’s message on the Maratha reservation debate is the rare clarity Maharashtra needs: do it within the Constitution, and do not pit communities against each other. When he says, “Politics can go to hell,” he is rejecting the cynical arithmetic that fuels rallies but wrecks social harmony. He also reminds critics that successive pro-Maratha measures—from education and entrepreneurship support to quota attempts—were taken by his governments, and that any durable solution must survive judicial scrutiny. This is adult leadership: commit to data, due process and a roadmap that protects OBC rights while addressing Maratha aspirations. Maharashtra’s fracture points are real; stoking them is easy. Fadnavis chooses the harder path consensus and constitutionality so the eventual policy lasts. That is the only responsible way to turn protest heat into stable justice.

Look Beyond the Immediate
Across India’s proud martial and frontier communities—Marathas, Sikhs, Dogras, Rajputs, Jats, Gujjars, Dhangars, Santhals, Gorkhas, Garhwalis—the playbook is the same: provoke, polarise, fragment. The answer must be the opposite: unite, modernise, and think long-range. Strength grows when these communities are anchored in opportunity, not anger. That means credible jobs, fair and constitutional welfare, clean recruitment, and a curriculum that honours their shared service to India. Build trust with transparent data, fast justice against hate crimes and riots, and a relentless fight against disinformation. Expand NCC, Home Guard, and local industry so youth channel energy into nation-building. India has always resisted division by choosing confidence over fear and constitution over conspiracy. Don’t stare at your feet; look to the horizon. If our civilisation stays united, our nation—and every community within it—will thrive.
