Yes and I already acknowledged it when I said he was "possibly the best economist India had". How did I qualify he was "the best economist"? Because of his reforms in the 90s which were spearheaded by the then Prime Mini

Oh it looks like it is not even March 31st 2017 for NRIs but it is June 30th 2017 as per RBI notification: https://www.rbi.org.in/Scripts/NotificationUser.aspx?Id=1080... So you have 6 months time to deposit your old 5

by shripadk 10y ago
It's not a stat for me. I do sympathize. But stretching this argument to say that demonetization is a failure is ridiculous. In that way, in India, the deaths due to accidents are close to 1,37,000 in 2013 alone. Should we call transpo

Then I'm thankful that you did not riot. Irrespective of your political inclinations. On a lighter note, the "large-scale riot" theory was not propagated by the Government but by the opposition. Read up articles by P Chidamba

It implied otherwise. The OP tied an economic move (demonetization) to the death of a 100 people. That is a very narrow perspective to take, in my honest opinion.

I am serious. If you live in India you would have heard of constant fear-mongering by the opposition parties about "large-scale riots" and "financial emergency". No such thing happened. Every Indian co-operated with the
