Thank you for bringing this up! However I fear that the post will be deleted soon because whenever I write anything against BJP, some people used to report the post as offensive and mod used to delete that!
Demonetization is indeed the biggest scam in India history! India has seen many scams before as well, but not at this scale! A lot of poeple lost their jobs because small companies from unorganized sector closed down. I am one of the victims of demonetization and had to struggle financially for 4 months before I get a new job!
And let me tell you, this Pulwama attack is also a scam! Who do you think is the biggest beneficiary after this? There are lot of other open questions, but no one including me dares to ask!
I concur. I experienced worst days in my life at the time of demonetization. It has affected various sectors badly including banking, agriculture, medical, etc and I wonder why so many people still support demonetization. Moreover, this government mixed religion with politics.
I really wished if Bitcoin were a legal tender at that time. We need something like this as a payment method if the government is biased to corporates.
I don't think a lot of people supported demonitization as such - they supported action against black money and the government initially misled people into believing that demonetization would really work against black money. As far as mixing religion with politics is concerned, I don't think any political party can claim to be holier than thou in this case - they all incorporate caste, religion or region into their policies.
As far as your wish that Bitcoin was legal tender at that time is concerned, I don't think Bitcoin is legal tender anywhere in this world. Legal tender is of limited relevance in any case - it only means that you can use it to officially retire debts.
