It's a debate that refuses to go away. After Prime Minister Narendra Modi lit into the culture of government "freebies" or Revdi as he called it in Hindi, the matter has now gone to the Supreme Court.

Who decides what is a freebie and what is welfare? Can a court of law do it or should it be in the domain of individual governments and local bodies?
