Demonetised | A Well Informed Opinion

A WELL INFORMED OPINION

Whilst at Starbucks, writing, earlier in the morning today, I happened to bump into a prominent and quite a celebrated journalist. I couldn’t help resist the urge to walk upto her and try understand her take or views on demonetisation (for she’d recently written an article on the same in a prestigious daily).

To my bewilderment, I was taken aback and stumped by what she said – “I have been making enquiries and asking around, but opinions are mixed, so I’m yet undecided.” This coming from a lady who’d written some 2000 words’ article on ill effects of demonetisation. Surprising isn’t it, to know the so-called experts who write on national issues are themselves deprived of facts and knowledge.

Anyways, my point is it's not about what other's feel, moreover asking around is diluting one's own decision or being mistrusting of one's own instincts and judgemental prowess; the question rather is what one's own independent, unadulterated opinion is, for that's when it's an unbiased and liberated answer. As for the common man, the general consensus is still one that's unfortunately largely divided; but that’s only natural given the expanse of our nation and its population count. It’d would only make sense to observe, gather facts, data, knowledge, and form an unbiased view of the situation by yourself.

As for my personal take on the subject at hand - "As they say, the night is darkest just before the dawn. The difficulties we’re now faced with will only herald us to a new sun, a new day, a day bright and effusive, when the light is devoid of corruption, red tape, and dirty politics, where we can, as fellow countrymen, bathe and bask in the clear sunlight; not as you and I, but as “us”, and as equals...with black money out the fray and out of reckoning. Let’s simply work with the government. Just in case if it lets us down, we know we can vote it out, but for now, its exigent we handhold our PM for what he’s doing for us; whilst shepherding and steering the nation to waters calm, placid and resplendent, to an India more surreal, to an India that we’re now not, but can surely be, in years to be. If anything, we are surely walking the road to progress. We need but ask ourselves the question instead of asking around and adding to the chaos.

There's a link I have shared which may shed some light on how the actual picture or the end motive is obscured by journalists and media et al. It may help one in forming/arriving at a well-informed opinion. Follow Modi is My PM
