At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history when we step out from the old to new…” That is an extract from the “tryst with destiny” speech delivered by Jawaharlal Nehru, the first Prime Minister of independent India, to the Indian Constituent Assembly in The Parliament, on the eve of India's independence, towards midnight on 15 August 1947. 70 years later towards midnight on 30 June, 2017 India once again made a tryst with destiny stepping out from the old to new. This time it was the official launch of the Goods and Services Tax (GST), the most sweeping tax reform for nearly 70 years.
