Demonitization woes!!

People are right. Modi is matchless. That which Congress in her 50 years of rule couldn't achieve, Modi has done it -confessedly- single handedly. He has shattered the people's confidence of a republic and it's economy. In an attempt to make our wallets available for plunder by the corporate, he made the common man feel miserable. We had heard of the 2G scam, National Games scam even Coal-scam but this Demonitization takes the cake away. A decision taken almost solely by a man with questionable qualification has brought the nation itself to it's heels. Apart from the predicted 'benefits that we shall reap in the future' (which no one has been able to list so far), I wonder what the govt. had aimed while committing this 'monumental blunder'. I wonder what it's aimed at! Our honorable PM and his goons themselves seem to be not so sure. In the beginning it was terrorism, and then there was black money and it's digitization now. If digitization is really what it's intended purpose was, may be we should call it dehumanization. 

I have a strange feeling that this entire thing has something to do with FDI in retail markets stuff. In a country like India, where infrastructure is scarce, we are forcing (not just encouraging) the money transactions onto services that require very good internet connectivity. You see... in the matters like this, in a democracy, the motivation should be carrot.
