Sir,
Since the news of Demonetization of the Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 broke on the evening of 8th November 2016, the people of the country have become cashless. They have to struggle to manage every day as no one was taking the demonetized notes. This action has divided the nation into the supporters and the opponents. The Government did a Surgical Strike against corruption to make India a better country.
The major step to demonetize the old notes of Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 has involved the nation’s every citizen to play their pivotal role in the fight back against corruption. Though changes were seen in the every corner of the country where some supported this action, and some became the opponent. So far, to bring any changes in the nation with the population of 1.252 billion people is something for which, PM Modi was planning a long back.
In this course of action, Government introduced the new notes of Rs. 2,000 and Rs. 500 as the way to fight back of Black money. However, severe effects were seen in the nation where for two days all the ATMs were shut down; the banks worked extra hours to clear out the queue outside the ATMs and the banks. People skipped the work and standing at the bank counter to get the old cash transfer or converted into the new notes or their bank accounts.
This major stroke of the Government includes long-term goals to make a white India. Some of them are:-
- Make the corrupt to lose their money
- Get everyone to have a bank account
- Every citizen in India to be monitored online
- Checking of the counterfeit notes
- Change the mindset of everyone
However, the Government’s fights to turn the black money into white are on track with the help of the citizens. The consequences are yet to be seen, but 80 percent of the nation’s population has supported the Government action.
