India collected world record tax just because of their high tax rate and tax for everything not from any improvement in their economic improvements in their infrastructure. Even most of the economists accepted that the implementation of GST in India killed a lot of small business and also mentioned by the articles all over the world. This is an example to the world of what will happen when you give powers to illiterate people as leaders.

I have to disagree here. Previously the small merchants were not paying taxes and now after the implementation of the GST they need to do that. And why should they be exempted from tax? These people were literally robbing ordinary citizens by charging a margin of as much as 100% or 150%. And actually the problem for smaller merchants was the entry of online shopping sites such as Amazon and Flipkart, and not GST. These e-Commerce sites charge a margin of only 4% or 5%, so naturally people prefer them over the smaller shops.
