The internet is littered with conspiracy theories some so stupid and so far fetched that you would want to strangle the writer. I am giving one such.
I do not have any affiliation with any political party or personal hate against any.
My father says 'muft ke bael ke daant nahi ginte'. But if the bael has no teeth then it is useless. Such is my problem.
Imagine a man extremely rich. So rich he can buy you and even your free will. How can he become so rich? Legally. Maybe? Or illegally. Probably?
If a man is so rich he may get into secrets. Into the unseen parts of the system. Gain acccess of regions or files much before anyone may ever get a whiff of a rumour.
This demonetization is something that would cause a great state of unrest into the minds of people who measure amount of money by weight. What could they do? Admit their black money. No, that would result in enquiries and problems. Throw it away. No, then what is the point of it. Spend it. Where? CBI would come like moths to a flame. Or the most cunning way. Invest it.
Reliance Jio was a revolutionary concept which came months before demonetization. Free call and high speed 4G internet. At first, I thought it was a joke cause it was too good to be true .
It was supposed to stop its free services in September but then it was extended it to December and then further extended till March. The government has done the same thing is declaring unnamed wealth. Extending it later and later.
Mukesh Ambani needed to get rid of his black money or convert it into white. He chose to do both at the same time. Companies spend huge amount of money in marketing casting movie stars for promotion of their brands. He thought of an opportuinity to spend his black money legally. Spend it on marketing. Providing something for free is the best way of marketing cause as Indians, after hearing the word free, we agree to even the most pointless stuff then something so useful as stable and high speed internet we would forget everything else.
China provides everything so cheap to eliminate competition which would in the long run would give huge control and monopoly in market.
So, getting rid of black money. Marketing. Elimination of competition or atleast crippling.
Nothing is free in this world if you get something for free then treat it as a benefit of demonetization.
P.S. My father later posted something similar on a social networking website and now he is not allowed a jio connection. Customer care says suspicious activity happened on his account.
