*From the Editor’s Desk*
The month was dominated by the fall outs of demonization. Nearly 86% of
circulating currency has been demonetized creating havoc with the life of
average people. The seventy deaths in queues have raised several questions
about the motive of the step by Modi Sarkar. One guess is that it is to
deflate the opposition parties in the forthcoming elections of UP in
particular. Another point is that this Government has written off huge
debts for the corporate world, making the bank coffers empty, and this is
meant to draw out the money of average people to bank deposits to fill the
big gap created by Corporate’ loot. The dilemma is that despite many people
standing in queues they seem to be supporting the move as being good in the
long term. It seems the propaganda of this government is too strong, but
any propaganda cannot sustain for long. Even those who have done this
hoarding of black money in big quantum seem to be undisturbed by this move.
As such what has been demonetized is just five percent of the black money
as 80% of black is deposited in banks abroad, what is called ‘safe heavens’,
and fifteen percent is in the form of real estate, jewelry etc. Modi had
promised that he will bring back the black money from those banks so that
Rs fifteen lakhs will be deposited in everybody’s account. This is being
quoted by people off and on. It seems one of the reasons behind this move
may be to show that he is serious about black money and is doing so much
for that. Surely, this move is a cover up to hide his failure to fulfill
his promise and large number of citizens will gradually realize the pain
and discomfort caused by his ill conceived move. The interview by Vinod
Sharma carried by us, sums up the issues very well.
