Update:

Why we as common men / women of Indian have to pay heavy Income tax, whereas rich farmers are spared.

Why Rich farmers not taxed on their income since independence?

The answer is simple, most of the politicians are rich farmers or they convert their black money by buying agriculture land and ensure that their income is not taxed.

Are we all not fools? Why are we taken for great ride by asking us to pay via TDS (tax deducted at our source) or self-assessment, when rich politicians can choose not to pay tax by disclosing their income as agricultural.

Update 2:

I think readers of this blog have totally misunderstood my point. I am talking about Politicians who have used agultural income to either hide their income from corrupt practices or landlords who have turned into politicians.

I am not (and not and not) talking about normal poor or middle class farmers. I AM ONLY TALKING ABOUT SUPER RICH GUYS WHO HAVE FOOLED US
