Demonitisation has not only generated in deaths of hundreds of people directly and many indirectly, It has also created deep conflicts within families, among friends, within trade, within associations and groups and between relationships in general. According to Marx, one of the main implications of capitalism is on its ability to transform human relationships into commodity/money relationships as a fetish, when he wrote about fetishism of commodities. This was what happened under demonitisation in a nutshell. Suddenly, all over India, human relationships transformed into commodity/money relationships. And that also when money suddenly became a scarce commodity. Human beings became so insecure in this country without the feel of touch of their fingers on currency notes. Those who did not need that touch, who could replace that touch on their mobiles or computers, became powerful overnight. The rest were doomed. It would be interesting to study the broken relationships in India due to demonitisation as well as the relationships of the human beings which sustained despite the crisis. I do not have any reason to believe that the reason for the relationships which sustained the crisis is due to the collective faith that `demonitisation is for national welfare'. It would also be interesting to study the fluctuations on the ratio of suicides in every state during the period of demonitisation, to get a more comprehensive picture on the psychological impact of demonitisation on the Indian people.
