The combination of ignorance, arrogance and the desire for “shock and awe” on the part of Modi government can be quite lethal, as the Indian people have learned to their great cost

In the entire history of post-independence India, no single economic measure has been as devastating for the people and as utterly futile in achieving its stated objectives, as the demonetisation of currency notes of Rs 500 and Rs 1000 denomination decreed by the Modi government on November 8, 2016.

The fact that it did not achieve its stated objectives was not unforeseen; on the contrary, it was obvious to every economist that demonetisation was the height of folly even as it was announced, which is why it was opposed by all, except a handful of “climbers” keen to please the government.

The government had mentioned three objectives of the move: to eliminate black money, to get rid of counterfeit notes and to attack terror funding; of these the last two were add-ons that everybody knew did not carry much credibility.

A study by the Indian Statistical Institute had estimated counterfeit currency to be a minuscule proportion of total currency; hence the sudden demonetisation of 85 per cent of the country’s currency for the sake of getting rid of a minuscule amount of counterfeit currency could not be taken seriously as an argument.
