To make things worse, people are now hoarding cash. Pretty much everyone I know has at least 20-25K valid cash in hand for emergency and why wouldn't they? The fact is that only 2% of the total transactions in India are in cash, you can't make the country go cashless overnight. People need cash...

Brilliant video, kind of sad too considering the current situation. Good for a laugh at this self inflicted pain from a clueless leader. Ha ha did anyone notice the survey at the end? It is a dig at Modi's bogus app survey :lol: Jai Hind is not good enough for bhakts bolo Bharat mata ki jai...

From 50 days (till 30 dec) it has already become one or two quarters, and you say it was well thought out?

That's an assumption. Deposit data shows that a significant amount has already entered the system and by the end of Dec it should be closer to the obsolete notes in amount if this trend continues. Only idiots keep money in stashes, most black money holders invest it which means that the money is...

Arre nahi bhai, read my whole post above, it should tell you. Govt was banking heavily on the assumption that a portion of the money (~3 lakh crore) wouldn't come back and rbi would be able to reprint it and give it to govt as dividend for use. It was a good idea in theory but as you can see...

So with a full month to go it appears that almost everything will come back, which essentially means that govt's main hope and perhaps the single major objective of demonitization that a huge portion of it wouldn't come back and they would be then able to use that amount for whatever they want...

Tarek Fateh is a fraud who has found a way to be the poster child of India's right wing but as long as he is legally present in the country and not breaking any law he should be allowed to express himself.

Begani shadi main abdullah dewana, sultan would be well advised not to stick his nose where it doesn't belong! He is pretty irrelevant here.

And that is going to continue. I don't see any credible voice in the opposition. I may be a staunch opposer of some of things BJP does, but would that compel me to vote for a Pappu led Congress? I don't think so.

Of course not, but a govt mouthpiece about a govt scheme is not really a reliable read, wouldn't you agree? Media should ideally have an adversarial relationship with the govt, albeit being honest at the same time. Anyway I did read the article, it does not say anything new, these are known...

R Jaggu and Swarajya? What's next? OpIndia? Anyway, we will see if this exercise was a success, or a failure or not significant. I hope it leads to something positive, although at this point I am not sure that will be the case.

March 13, 2016 57 more Naxals surrender before Odisha Police, total 315 in one week http://indianexpress.com/article/india/india-news-india/57-more-naxals-surrender-before-odisha-police-total-315-in-one-week/ If this had happened now, it would have also been due to demonitzation. I have said...

They are actually not getting enough criticism for creating this mess. Half the country is still besotted with Modi as they see him as the only savior (ala Pakistani generals) after the disaster that was UPA2.

I am amazed at Modi's ability to make people dumb. Do you have any idea how much fake currency was in the circulation? According to ISI (not the Pakistani one!) the total worth of fake currency was 400 crore. That's peanuts in a country where 18 lakh crore is the total value of currencies...

He spent 7 years in Pakistan? That explains it then.

" A third generation soldier, Suhag is known to be a fitness freak. He completes a 10km run as a daily routine. He also loves horse-riding and golf." http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report-10-things-you-should-know-about-india-s-new-army-chief-dalbir-singh-suhag-2006806

LOL he is well known for his fitness. In fact even among Indian generals, he is one of the fittest we have ever had. Only a Pakistani keyboard warrior, probably overweight himself, can call this guy malnourished. Trust me, very few people can look that fit at 60. He runs 10 km daily, look up.

There is no excuse for terrible planning and execution. Wait for next week when people queue up to take their salaries, there will be chaos all over. People are suffering and they will continue to suffer for quite some time, mostly due to lack of foresight from the govt. You don't have to be an...

Whatever the objectives maybe, the implementation couldn't have been worse.

You can't blame them when people treat them as such.
