Thou shall not Demonetize

This is the time for reflection.
This is the time for introspection.
This is the time for action.
This is the time to enjoy.
So many days past the Demonetization Date(8th Nov,2016) we are still not clear if the harmful effects of demonetization were worth the advantages. No one can measure the costs and benefits of this step without being partial or biased.
I may say there cannot be an impartial brush to paint an unbiased picture of demonetization.

What ever has happened has happened. We cannot dwell in the past. We need to move on.

Our country has vast resources and commentators have said most of them go for a waste. When compared with wrong policies of import substitution and license Permit Raj demonetization goes down as a calculated mis-step. And not wakeful dreams of commanding heights of the economy.

It was a risky manoeuvre that cost some lives, some people some money and some people source of income.

Critics are convinced that it was an unmitigated disaster. They do not need any torch or light to see the writing on the wall if at all they are seeing. They are convinced that it indeed was so.

When someone follows you blindly and you don't like it, you tend to run towards a ditch and do an unexpected somersault over it hoping the followers fall into it(Sic).

So much for your followers are your own "Bhayiyon aur behenon" who are blindfolded by their love for you just like the critics blinded by their hatred.

There cannot be a neutral person who neither likes you nor dislikes you. Least of all ... How could you expect such a nonexistent entity to paint a picture of demonetization?

Followers of virat kohli are in love with his batting and are more than willing to give him chance after chance even if he is not in form. He has his own detractors though. Mr. Modi too I hope will get many more chances of coming good with the bat. It is then that he needs to swear certain Don't Dos like

"Thou Shall Not Demonetize"
