Sir,
Several weeks after November 8, complaints continue to pour in from a thousand sectors of India’s economy, from the big metros down to the remotest villages. It is far from clear whether matters will improve ‘within 50 days’, by December 30 or thereabouts, as Prime Minister Modi had announced. Not only has the economy slowed down in almost all sectors, but the decision to demonetize, however laudable and necessary, has implications for India’s neighbouring countries and bilateral relations as well.
These are very hard times for Central policy-makers and officials, not to mention the common people.It seems everyone from the top down to the grassroots, will have to remain very, very patient indeed over the next few weeks, maybe months, even.
Yours etc…
