[@gurpratap]

Bro after sometime your job will be to count how many cows are there on the road. How much fodder they require per day,month,year. How much water they will need in the coming summer. Bro, you wont be jobless but will be in gaurakshaanagent samiti which theu really dont care abt either. Soon the cow you will be handling will be having more privilages,perks and standard of living then you.

[@raakash99]

Thanks Newslaundry to bring out constitution series and explain the complex and humongous book in simpler way ... thumbs up.

[@onkarawachare]

Every time I see your video I m more and more scared and concerned about these issues Cause these issues are taken so casually in our society that no one really address it as an issue be it unequality, injustice, discrimination intolerance, religious orthdoxness ,voilence , mob lynchings , blind Faith of people on politicians, excessive hero worshipping, falling value of currency , spread hatred amongst society,and many other issues There need to be taken steps against all these

[@richardkujur]

Few years down the line, Consti-tution will be advised to UPSC aspirants.

[@morningstar0197]

Thank you NL for bringing such a complex topic in a simple way.

[@chandraveersingh1986]

thanks newslaundry and Meghnad to present this very complex and harsh reality in a very lucid way...

Very nice video. Good research done. Thank a lot.

[@SunilYadav-lx9td]

Private enterprises mostly innovate in bribing and corrupting system to eliminate competition and get greater returns on investments. Inequality is the consequence of embracing liberal economic model of development.

[@sonmanishourya8843]

It was enlightening!! Kept me watching it to the end

[@IMSRGURJAR]

I am waiting for Constitution episode always 👌👌👌

[@amalbhargav240]

[@arghyamandal5448]

Superb Thank a lot Meghnadh and entire News Laundry team 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍

[@vamshitarun9835]

I became a fan to u r homework great job sir

[@navitachauhan6194]

Love the way ... you explain ...things

[@shreyaspathak8696]

The solution you gave is more of the same... To combat inequality we need progressive direct taxation: high rate of marginal taxes on the rich and wealth tax. What was wrong with the pre 1991 economy was not progressive taxation but the license-permit-quota system of command economy. Progressive taxation accompanied by increased social expenditure is good and guarantees reduction of inequality and a fairer society. Also breaking up the big family conglomerates will help to reduce the power and influence of the rich too. All this has been done in the progressive era United States and post war social democratic Europe and produced some of the most prosperous and relatively egalitarian societies ever seen in the 1950s, 60s and 70s. The evil of the post 1991 economic policy of India was that it reduced taxation on the rich and reduced expenditure on health, education and social services and showered the rich and the corporates with tax cuts and subsidies leading to the present state of affairs. If pre 1991 economy was not good for the poor the post 1991 economy has been a disaster for them.

[@anmol__shankar]

Just superb!

[@tahmidikhlas1984]

Eleven years in a decade 😂😂😂 now that's the real achievement

[@prateeksrivastava2150]

This video felt like a slap on the face and we were too helpless to do anything. Can you establish a portal/session where people can brainstorm on things we can do as an individual to contribute? BTW I m already a subscriber

[@heinzketchup3462]

Perhaps,i repeat, perhaps the best and most though after episode of the series

[@rakeshrathore148]

In a society where how much you earn no matter how. Inequality is natural

[@anawiltiwari8996]

There's no such thing as 'rich bashing'...

[@asphalthate4173]

Good work

[@swarajkumar1758]

Basic fallacy with inequality argument is that you are thinking of money as a finite sum of resources which is not true in fiat system. It's not a zero sum game.

[@karthikravichandran4]

1:10...hey that is a variation of the joke John Oliver used in his wealth gap segment

[@gandharkhairkar4622]

Much needed video

[@avleshkumar9974]

When I will get job in future then after I will donate 5% of my income for your channel as a help for assisting to make journalism independent for sake of other people and soon later the channel of such type of yours who will survive for people and rise the voice of people.

[@praveenjaiswal77]

Any news clip u cite, it is expected to caption the DATE too, if possible. Just a feedback. Great work btw. 👍

[@raakash99]

Thats a nice idea.

[@rajeshpaleth8664]

I would say that for private enterprise to flourish, it CANNOT allow justice. There needs to be a midpoint.

[@wintersoldier2006]

Oh I thought this was about social and not economic inequality only. Please make an episode about social inequality too.

[@MANAND-rh9ew]

Good

[@lalitmaster6021]

Consti-Pation Not your show, its amazing 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@himadribarman7385]

3:51: "Bottom 60 people > Rs 5". Newslaundry, you're not paying enough to your graphics team. And please allow viewers to pay Rs.5 at least so that you can run episodes free of advertisements. ;)

[@visionclasses9158]

Make this video in hindi also

[@MirKekaoos]

But But we have 1.5 GB Data ! don't we ??

[@gurpratap]

First one to comment First.

[@theshreyansgupta]

Sure, 97% of rich's taxable income was distributed to the poor. As a result of which Tatas, Birlas and Ambanis lived a humble middle-class life in the late 70s and 80s, right?

[@ajsujit]

Population growth is a big problem.

[@WasimKhan-pt2rq]

2nd me to participate in comment

[@siddhanta85]

You missed to cover rampant corruption and black money in the time of higher taxes. Also, the demand could never be driven higher only with government spending and restrictions on personal wealth gain. While, regulations should be present to stop abusive business practices and labour exploitation, demonizing the rich creates unhealthy and secretive economy in the back off called equal economic indicators. This is not easy and I understand that a small video may not include all aspects. However, describing economy only with cherry picked indicator to show show 60s and 70s in good light in abismal.

[@pawanbishnoi282]

Which naxal are you 😂😂😂

[@sukhenduhazra4565]

the new milenials oviously see your shows but how they pay you your subcripition bucks?they just grow up with much proverty and the small town unemployed students have nothing to do. and we just get rich and educated by your great video if you people always saying that please subscribe .I know about your problems.but I think newslaundry thinks something about small town and oviously metro cities students which peoples are dont earning.lots of thank you for your contribution in the edge of 'news' in India

[@vikash850]

Wow Karl Marx jinda ho Gaya but the problem is industries have less than 1% of the total land India has and name one country where equally exits

[@vivektripathi2612]

You conveniently ingored the data about howmany people have been brought out of poverty between 1950 to 1991 and 1991 till present. Inequality is increased but the overall income of the population is also increased. Its just that the rich got much richer than the poor. poverty has been reduced significantly after 1991 and this poverty was not very different in 1991 from 1950. You are praising the era before 1991and trying to argue that “we should have been equal even if the majority of the country lives below poverty line. So what. The equality would be there.” That’s what you are arguing.

[@pankajkumarsharma7503]

Not supported by facts.. Agriculture crisis moves poor to urban areas. More than industrialisation. Problem is we don't have industries in villages. While crony capitalism is harming but left fails to understand socialism was hardly any help either

[@pankajkumarsharma7503]

@UCNYbBRTO08P9bHH7ToHA8dg Sir ! I supported your comment. Facts are not presented by videomaker. And has make it seem like only BJP support liberalization. As if Ambani or Adani were retail vendors before 😂

[@vivektripathi2612]

Rohan D You don’t get the actual point. Even by our Conservative standard of poverty estimation, compare the era before and after 1991. Compare the income status of Indians in same way, you will get the point. What the video says, we should have been poor in order to be equal when it presents data before 1991 to argue that we were more equal in those time. Its not really an argument. Its bullshit, to put it politely.

[@pankajkumarsharma7503]

@Rohan D Don't we have to use Exchange rate in PPP for any comparison.

[@ramdeshpande6189]

Constitution become constitution for BJP

[@sagarparekh6165]

Why not socialism? First of all it's not true that "Private enterprise is the only way innovation can be fostered". For example, technology used in Iphone had already been invented through public funding (See Videos Below). And what's wrong with taking wealth from rich and giving it to poor. You're assuming the rich have right to own their wealth, but they've got it by exploiting lower economic classes/workers (i.e Capitalism). Here are some videos which can explain my point. Other than that your videos are great and also this series "Consti-Tuition". Keep it up.

What I feel meghnad ji you started good but too much data ruins the flow.
