People worried- aloo, tamatar price increased by double in 10 years, but why school fees increased by 3-4 times?
Well, you don’t pay RTE (Right to Education) tax on tomatoes.
If RTE tax was applied on tomatoes, how will the world look like?
Suppose every time if you go to buy tomato, you buy four tomatoes at Rs 2 each. Now, if Sabziwala takes Rs. 8 and put 3 tomatoes in your bag, that is RTE.
You– why bhaiyya? Why steal one tomato from me, I paid for four tomatoes?
Sabziwala– one is for poor kids ji.
Then you see a Mulla ji buying tomatoes from neighboring Mulla ji sabziwala- and he gets 4 tomatoes for Rs 5.
You– but why is he getting it for so cheap?
Sabziwala– he has minority quota ji. He gets free land from govt, pays lower taxes, and he doesn’t have to give one tomato to the poor.
You– I pay taxes and govt does tamatar farming with that money. Why don’t they give tamatar to poor from their own farm. Why should I pay extra?
Sabziwala– their tamatar all foul, even poor doesn’t want them. So gobirmint asked us to charge you extra for one extra healthy tamatar and give it to the poor.
You– so your business going well? Extra tamatar you sell.
Sabziwala– no ji. This gobirmint is thief.
You– why?
Sabziwala– Because the gobirmint now want to fix price at Rs 1.5/tamatar. At this rate I can’t make any money to feed my kids. I will quit tamatar business.
You– No. Don’t do that. Where will I buy tamatar then?
Sabziwala– from the next door Mulla ji shop. He sells cheaper tamatar.
You– but I have heard he spits on tamatar before selling them. Chiiii.
Sabziwala– Sorry. Can’t help with that. You can always clean it at home.
