India is going through very interesting times. Leaving aside our personal worries, beliefs and political preferences, we must recognise that we are part of an unprecedented, radical economic, social and political experiment. Thirty years from now some of us who are in their fifties might be discussing the "demonetisation of 2016" with a grandchild who is a serious student of economics or politics or social sciences.
Most of us will go through the motions, accepting our lot and changing unknowingly as forced by the evolving situation.
A lot of us will spend a lot of time on social media as Modi supporters or opponents.
Some of us will dispassionately look at the situation, analyse it logically using the information and data at hand. They will focus on two aspects
(1)Do I need to do something different to ensure that my path and trajectory remain unchanged? If the answer is YES, they will institute those changes
(2)How can I benefit from this situation (staying within the boundaries of law and morality)?
Rulers come and go. Ideological fads wax and wane. Existence continues.
