There is a particular kind of fraud that is far more dangerous than an outright liar. It is the half-truth teller — the one who picks real facts, frames them with real emotion, and then quietly buries everything that doesn’t fit the narrative. Dhruv Rathee has built a 20-million-subscriber empire...
You wake up every morning, go to work, file your ITR honestly, and watch 30 percent of your income disappear before it even hits your account.
