If you hit a ball on the ground, it will come back with less, equal or much more height, according to the force you have applied to hit. The people in this country are not balls. Modi needs time to sort out the mess of demonitisation. So do people in this country. What remains is that Adivasis, Dalits, farmers, migrant labour, hawkers, small traders, lower middle class, students, youth, women, fisher folk and various sections in this country are badly hit with the force of this ball called `demonitisation’. However, since people are not balls, they are taking more time for larger popular responses. And that time is sufficient for another hit. Therefore, I am still wondering about the reactions. Don’t you feel one month is more than enough for the organisations representing the affected communities and sections to come out on streets all over the country? Beyond the above mentioned affected sectors, what is not articulated is the impact of demonitisation on the Muslim community. As per Muslim faith and as per Qur’an, `accepting interest and giving interest is sin’. Therefore, a large section of Muslims in India still do not have bank accounts. Hence, this forceful act of imposing cashless economy undemocratically in the Indian context is also an attack on the minorities. It violates the secular principles of the Indian Constitution. I am surprised that not many secular forces have still not raised this issue.
