The price of a bottle in Dimapur has gone up enough that I’ll be repairing one extra radio this month to keep my son’s book-fund untouched. Some lads at Sunday football were saying it’s for the nation’s good, but I keep thinking of the rickshaw-wallah who counts his coins twice at the end of the day.

Arre, that rickshaw-wallah's story is worth more than a dozen economists' lectures. I've seen the same in Shimla — every time they raise "tax for the nation," the vegetable vendor's profit shrinks but the paperwork grows. My old data books show prices rise, but the "national good" never seems to reach the chaiwallah's pocket.
