How Banks and NBFCs Are Quietly Enslaving an Entire Nation

Mustak Aalam July 15, 2025

Introduction

Most people believe that whatever they do, think, or plan—banks and financial institutions have no idea. But the harsh truth is: they know more about you than you know about yourself. Whether you're playing, traveling, spending time with friends, or just sitting with your thoughts—even on the toilet—financial analysts can predict your behavior and choices. That’s their job. Their mission is not just to lend money, but to figure out how to keep you dependent—psychologically and financially. Now you might wonder, "How can banks or NBFCs enslave us? They don’t have any weapons." But that’s the catch—they have something more powerful than weapons: money. Not just any money—your money. And they’ve mastered the art of using your own desires and weaknesses to trap you.

Key Points

🎯 The Illusion of “Free” Money You must have received those texts or calls: "Sir, you’re eligible for a ₹10 lakh personal loan. Just a few verification steps, and the money will be in your account." You feel lucky. You think, “Banks must be stupid to trust me with so much money!” But that's the biggest game. They let you win small battles to win the entire war. When you think you’ve outsmarted the bank, in reality, they’ve played you.

Example

💡 How the Trap Works Let’s say you had ₹10,000 in your account, and you had already planned your monthly expenses wisely. Life was stable. Now, an NBFC offers you ₹1 lakh as a personal loan. You accept it. You feel rich and start fulfilling unnecessary desires, not essential needs. Suddenly, you buy things that were never a priority. This is called manipulated demand—planted in your brain through psychological and financial targeting. You think you're in control, but slowly: You now owe ₹1 lakh You've bought things you didn't need Your ₹10k salary can’t cover your new ₹20k lifestyle You’re forced to take another loan to survive And the cycle begins. 🔁 The Never-Ending Cycle This is the secret formula banks and NBFCs use to keep middle-class Indians trapped forever: 1. Offer attractive personal loans 2. Increase your spending habits artificially 3. Create financial dependency 4. Force you to repay using your salary 5. Offer another loan just as you're about to break free Eventually, you’re working just to pay back loans. Your dreams, your growth, even your home—everything is collateral. 🇮🇳 Respect to the Indian Government Despite all this, the Indian Government still does not allow full control to banks and NBFCs—something we should be grateful for. Because if that ever happens, they could control the entire population through money. Still, banks and NBFCs operate in shady ways—using unethical recovery agents, mental harassment, and manipulative tactics.

Conclusion

✅ Final Suggestion Avoid loans and credit cards unless absolutely necessary. If you don’t understand finance deeply, consult a financial advisor. Loans and credit can only benefit you if you know how to use them smartly. Otherwise, they are modern-day chains.
