True, but isn't India a democracy (atleast in paper?). AFAIK, the
constitution isn't something built on adamantium. It can be (and MUST be)
altered for the citizens' good. State asking me 10% is still wrong unless
it has been given power to do that through some valid process. And whenever
the people decides not to, that power have to be revoked.

In short, State can (again, and MUST be) be questioned. :)
