Good and simple? Jaipur idol-makers appeal to government's 'Hindu sensibility' to revoke GST

Two weeks ago, we apparently made another 'tryst with destiny' when the newly minted Goods and Services Tax (GST) made its midnight debut in Parliament. Business unfortunately is not too pleased with the 'single biggest tax reform since Independence', and protests have mushroomed all over the place since the July 1 rollout. Kite-makers in Gujarat organised a kite-flying festival to protest the new levy as did cloth merchants in Surat and Ahmedabad, who went on a silent march. Idol-makers in Jaipur (photographed here) appealed to the government's Hindu sensibility to revoke the tax. Good and simple?
