The 5 rupees is inclusive of taxes and stuff. Also there are no payment processing fees in India AFAIK. At the counter you can give a 5 rupee coin or pay 5 rupees via UPI or card, and you get a receipt and token number. But paying for the medicines and public transport would cost extra, so you would be spending almost ₹100 (or even ₹200 if expensive antibiotics are involved) by the time you reach home.

Edit: this is only for regular illness such as the flu or COVID, and most people wouldn't use life/health insurance for that. Doing surgeries or therapy (which is still hard to find here) will cost a lot more, and insurance and stuff will likely complicate things.

American Gen Z

"Noo you can't celebrate a Nazi's death, that makes you just as bad as the Nazi! We must debate fascism in the marketplace of ideas! Stoning gays, lynching trans people and making kids watch public executions was just his opinion. Think of how bad this makes the left look!"

In the aftermath of the deadly terrorist attack in Jammu & Kashmir’s Pahalgam, hatred against Kashmiris and Kashmiri students in particular surged in at least four northern states and Jammu, fuelled by right-wing groups. We spoke with Kashmiri students who had exams to write but had no institutional support. Hiding in their rooms, hoping for the worst to pass without violence, they spoke of mental and emotional trauma.

In a dimly lit, cluttered workshop in Delhi’s Nehru Place, the air hums with the sound of whirring drills and the crackle of soldering irons. Sushil Prasad, a 35-year-old technician, wipes the sweat off his brow as he carefully pieces together the guts of an old laptop. It is a daily ritual — resurrecting machines by stitching together motherboards, screens, and batteries scavenged from other trashed older laptops and e-waste — to create functional, low-cost devices.

“India has always had a repair culture … but companies are pushing planned obsolescence”

“Right now, there is a huge demand for such ‘hybrid’ laptops,” Prasad says, his hands swapping out a damaged motherboard. “Most people don’t care about having the latest model; they just want something that works and won’t break the bank.”
