Bankrupting India

In the vibrant, saffron-and-green-hued tapestry of India, where the cacophony of democracy thrives and a kaleidoscope of diversity abounds, a grey, insidious shadow looms large-the shadow of freeloading. From the neon-lit, exhaust-choked streets of Delhi, ringing with the ceaseless blare of horns, to the quiet, sun-drenched villages of Punjab, fragrant with the scent of mustard fields, from the air-conditioned, hushed corporate boardrooms of Mumbai, smelling faintly of imported coffee and ambition, to the dusty, sun-baked farmlands of Haryana, echoing with the distant hum of tubewells, freeloaders exploit the system.
Their actions, like a slow poison, drain precious resources, the lifeblood of the nation, threatening its economic fabric. This novella, 50 Shades of Freeloaders, delves into the many manifestations of this phenomenon, exploring how the sweet, intoxicating scent of freebies, the murky depths of subsidies, the silent hum of welfare schemes, and the cold, metallic gleam of corporate bailouts reshape the country's economy and society.
