Demonetisation Vs. Discoordination

The decision of demonetisation of Rs.1,000 & Rs.500 by the Government of India, in order to fight corruption, black money and cross border terrorism issues and its impact on Indian economy has become the talk of the town for the last few days and rightly so. Some are airing their voice for the move and few are against the move. Let the debate go on beyond the petty political agendas and their flag bearers across the country.

But what made me to scribble my thought in this blog is the observation of uncontrolled frenzy and consequent ruckus which is occurring around amongst the people, in spite of every measures taken by the authority, which meant to educate citizens about do’s and don’ts of this particular situation. Probably, every possible way has been ventured by the Government of India, be it electronic media, digital media, print media and so on, to communicate to the citizens that there is no need to get trepid about the situation, though the currencies (Rs.500 & Rs.1000) are getting cancelled but there are ample windows to clear the air during this phasing out period if you are on the right side of the track.

However, it is general ignorance of the commoners, who are getting steered by handful of sly marketeers having their vested interests which making things worse. Common people in urgent need of emergency services like medical, emergency supply etc. are getting harassed and getting caught between a rock and a hard place.  Here comes the role of the local authority, to which we fall back upon for respite in these situations. Though, we understood from news sources that the Central Government Authority beforehand sought for local assistance, in anticipation of such situation but the happenings around shows that ample measures to restrict these evil marketeers was not taken. The aftermath of any major change needs strong administration backup to steady the ship but till now it is not evident.


But, we are ‘tolerant’ Indians, waiting keenly and looking up towards our democratically elected representatives for guarding us against any incongruous situation.

Mithun Chakraborty – Bengal’s one & only universal DADA (Big Brother)

When the announcement for Shri Mithun Chakraborty’s news of being nominated for Dadasaheb  Phalke Award for his iconic contribution to Indian Cinema made public, being a Bengali and an ardent fan of the legendary actor, my first reaction was that no one could have been a better flag bearer as a human being to bring back golden days of Bengali Cinema. As announced by I&B Broadcasting Ministry of India on 30 th September 2024, the award was scheduled to be presented on 70 th National Film Awards Ceremony on 8 th October 2024. In middle and lower middle class Bengali community, the word ‘DADA’ , means big brother is uttered with great respect. Mithunda is a person, who earned this respect across the strata of the society and age barrier by his sheer integrity, hard work and humbleness. Today, Mithunda, is not only a film actor, anchor etc, but we look upto him as a brand for every facet of life beyond barrier of merely film acting only. Already, he has earned his respect pan ...

India And Her Malicious Neighbours

  Pakistan, as always, from its formative days has only had one point agenda, and that is to keep trying to disturb and disrupt our motherland. Despite being slapped time and again in their every malicious intention, they seem to be adamant that they will stop at nothing. All kind of atrocious activities, deception, deceit, falsehood, human right violation, patronising terrorist activity and eventually shameless denial of all proven offences seems to be in their social DNA. Day after day, they digging deep hole for their own country by trying to disturb our countries inner peace. Yet they do not have will to learn from history.   ‘OPERATION SINDOOR’ will be written in the history of mankind with a warning that there is no respite for the perpetrators involved in conspiracy against our motherland. Son & daughters of our soil will avenge them for sure. We have always believed and practised assimilation over destruction as our country’s strength. Unfortunately, Pakistan, ...

CAA-The Black Spot

Hit by protest against implementation of Citizens Amendment Bill (Citizens Amendment Act, now), West Bengal is writhing. Daily life has become immobile and the role of states’ administrative machineries has become questionable. Be it Rail & Road blockade, brainless destruction of public property or setting fire to trains & busses,    all sorts of vandalism are being showcased in different pockets of the state in the name of protest and instead of taking stern actions against those, state administration watching over as mere spectators is bound to raise eyebrows. If you interpret, after reading up to this point that I’m advocating in favour of this Act and thus voicing against protesters, it will be half truth. Problem with public pandemonium is that very easily sentiments take over from logic. Unfortunately, political intolerance in our country, across all party lines has become such that criticism is interpreted as opposition. CAA itself is deplorable since it direct...
