Independent India has always been a vibrant democracy, except for the #Emergency years of #IndiraGandhi from 1975-77. That it has taken a decisive turn to religious majoritarianism under the #BJP and under #Modi since 2014 doesn't change that fact. (1/)
Democracy is not necessarily congruent with liberal values or even human rights. #Slavery was legal both in the democracy of Great Britain as well as the USA for almost a hundred years since the US' formation. Even a White woman was not considered equal to a man in America. (2/)
Referring to Supreme Court's January verdict upholding #DemonetisationDecision, Gujarat High Court's Justice Biren Vaishnav said:
"I don’t know if the question whether #Demonetisation achieved its objectives, is still answered (or whether they) have been achieved."
"I don’t know if the question whether #Demonetisation achieved its objectives, is still answered (or whether they) have been achieved."

On Jan 2, the #SupremeCourt's Constitution Bench upheld by a 4:1 majority, the decision taken by the Union Government six years ago to demonetize the currency notes of Rs. 500 and Rs.1000 denominations.

#Demonetization took place in India about 6 years ago. Within a few weeks, India's biggest trader of fake currency, Javed Khadani committed suicide in Karachi. According to the unconfirmed report, he had India's goods worth 40000 crores and all that became garbage. Property worth
billions ruined in Pakistan. The goods of making fake rupees worth billions of rupees were destroyed in Pakistan. Pakistan Army, running Pakistan's ISI and printing industry, has gone bankrupt. Pakistan is craving for flour and pulses just within 7 years of this demonetization in
India. You can connect some dots here too. Meaning that a large portion of Pakistan's economy was India's fake currency. Neither there was any industry then and there is none now. Sycophants in India were saying 6 years ago
“Demonetization will destroy the country.” But they did

- RBI does not have independent power to bring in demonetisation
- provisions of Sub section 3 and 4 cannot be referred to in isolation (referring to point above)
- power under Section 26 (2) of the RBI Act cannot be said to be utilised for only a particular series of bank notes

- power under Section 26 (2) of the RBI Act cannot be said to be utilised for only a particular series of bank notes
- The notification issued by the Government thus satisfies the test of proportionality and the time period provided for exchange of currency cannot be said to be unreasonable.

I was reporting live from the ground when #Demonetization was implemented. The news channel I was with cut me off several times because I was talking to ppl who were criticizing the govt, narrating their own stories of how it has adversely impacted them.
After several such cases, I was told to only take people who were in favour of #Demonetization. When I protested and refused, I was told that the critics don't have the understanding that this is for the long-term good. And I should not enable them in demoralising others.
So 6 years later, I ask the govt and its cheerleaders in the media-what was exactly the 'long-term' good of #demonetization for the country.

- Instead of filling money in common peoples pockets, in 2014-2022 4.32 lakh crore concession given to businesses
- Why imposing #GST on cremation sites? How is this justice?

Five years since #demonetization. I was reporting the fallout from Uttar Pradesh. I met truck drivers who hadn’t eaten in days, retailers who were operating on goodwill alone and small businesses that had no choice but to shut down. Mr. Modi has still not said what it was all for
The economies of small towns in UP, like the Cermamic industry in Khurja or the bangle makers of Firozabad, suffered a body blow. I know many who have not been able to get back up.
I found that the biggest losers of Modi’s ill-thought misadventure was the unorganized sector. The lives of daily wage earners in cities like Noida and Ghaziabad (who survived solely on cash) were wrecked. They got pushed further down the poverty ladder.

This was a lot of fun. Always enjoyed learning from @deepakabbot - this was quite insightful and my homie @MotwaniSuhas did a great job with the moderation. Could have been an hour or two longer and I’d still be curious and entertained.
I have some raw and unfiltered notes from the session. Drop me a DM if you want to have a look.
Quick tip: Surround yourself with smart and helpful friends.
@SparklinGuy recommended that I make a thread out of @deepakabbot 's webinar that was moderate by @MotwaniSuhas ( Shoutout to @BlumeVentures for organising )
My homie @rjtnndn cleaned up my notes. So here goes:

as long as corona virus doesn't cross throat it isn't serious
once it infects lungs, most (except children, pregnant women) develop cytokine storm immune reaction
Old, sick people will suffer. Need lots of Oxygen (ventilators & emergency care etc)
Hope govt paying oxygen bills

1/ In the latest issue of the Journal of Economic Perspectives, @AmartyaLahiri has one of the most comprehensive assessments of #demonetization I have seen to date. The piece is ungated and can be found here: pubs.aeaweb.org/doi/pdfplus/10…
2/ The bulk of the piece focuses on whether demonetization achieved its three stated goals:
1) Seizing the black wealth created through undeclared income
2) Increasing the tax base
3) digitizing the economy & reducing the reliance on cash
Lahiri analyzes all three.
1) Seizing the black wealth created through undeclared income
2) Increasing the tax base
3) digitizing the economy & reducing the reliance on cash
Lahiri analyzes all three.
3/ Because 99% of the currency was returned, we know that the direct method of capturing unaccounted wealth did not work. When it comes to indirect methods (tax), neither demonetization nor GST pushed the indirect tax/GDP ratio off its recent trend path.
Over 94% poll takers believe that local business are getting effected by #InternetShutdowns.
#InternetShutdown means that no small #onlinebusiness can effectively function to use online payment gateways like @GooglePay, @Paytm, @NPCI_BHIM to accept payments especially after #demonetization or to operate via social media channels like @instagram for publicity & orders.
#Kashmir has lost some Rs 1.78 lakh crore ($25 billion) in economic output in the five months since August 2019. This is 11% of the erstwhile state’s nominal gross state domestic product (GSDP) of Rs 1.59 lakh crore for 2018-19. @qzindia

On the two year anniversary of #Demonetization, there is nothing new to say, except that it continues to be the disaster on a mammoth scale we all predicted, with long-term effects and a major slowdown of economic growth. #DemonetisationDisaster 1/n
My first column from Nov 2016 on the faulty assumptions made by the government, fundamentally equating cash with black money - a terrible mistake in a country like India that runs on cash and has a huge informal sector mostly affecting the poor. 2/n realclearmarkets.com/articles/2016/…
My second piece from Nov 2016, co-written with @lawrencehwhite1 on some of the seigniorage effects of demonetization and the one-time wealth transfer to the government, and also the lesser known and discussed Cantillon effects from the non-uniform injection of the new notes. 3/n
RBI has come with an excellent paper on the benefits of #Demonetisation - with undeniable facts and data and not rhetoric that has been offered by newly minted economists or stale shayari from the Congress stable. Consider some facts in next few tweets.1/10
Currency in circulation (CIC): CIC was down by 8% Y-o-Y as against 17.2% rise in previous year. So as of 27th Oct 2017, CIC was around 91% of pre-demonetization levels and actually 81% if same growth rate had continued in absence of demonetization. 2/10
Currency in circulation as proportion of broad money (M3) fell to 12.3% on 13th Oct 2017 as compared to 14.4% on 11th Nov 2016. The conclusions in RBI paper are thus significant. 3/10
