Prof. Kanu Doshi on Taxation

Albert Einstein once remarked, "Any fool can make things bigger, more complex and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction." Prof Kanu Doshi is back. This time he fires away on India's convoluted tax structure in a user friendly manner that makes a technical subject like taxation lnteresting and entertaining. All our finance ministers from Chanakya to Chidambaram have steered India through a very eventful journey in the field of taxation and Kanu bhai pulls out fascinating anecdotes from his hat to take us through this ride. Hope you enjoy it!
