Why NaMo did DeMo!

This week, marked five years since arguably the most important decision taken by the Modi government and yet, the fifth anniversary of the decision to demonetize 500 and 1000 rupee notes was not accompanied by the usual ‘band baja baarat’ high pitched propaganda. Remember this is a government that never misses an opportunity for astute event management: clearly it would seem that the Narendra Modi government has realized that there is nothing to ‘celebrate’ over demonetization and a large number of people do not wish to be reminded about the day when cash was suddenly criminalized, a day that only led to chaos and disruption in the financial system of a near unprecedented scale, a move that destroyed thousands and thousands of small businesses, especially in the vast informal sector.
