Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

RE: HELP ! PLEASE , RESCUE ME !


Dear Gurudatt,

Thanks for your encouraging words

Such words , enable me to overcome my cynicism of 50 years of Congress rule and light a lamp of hope !

True , those ministers / MPs / MLAs / Bureaucrats etc ., do not seem to read my emailed suggestions , or

if read , do not wish to comment on these , one way or the other !  

Perhaps because " commending " my thoughts , may not be politically correct thing to do !

The only exception was Shri Prakash Javadekar , who did respond to my suggestion on embedding notes with RFID , by just one word , " Good "  !

Incidentally , in today's papers , did you read about thieves cutting through the roof of a train carriage and taking away Rs 372 crore worth of currency notes ( obviously , Rs 500 / 1000 notes ), belonging to RBI ?

Would they have bothered if all those notes were RFID embedded and appearing on BLACK-MAIL mobile app of IT / ED departments as a fast moving balloon, on Google Map ?

Embedding high denomination currency notes with RFID micro-sensors , have the potential to generate ( - and strictly as a " by-product " ) :

#   Currency Flow Maps of India ( like maps of fast moving Ocean Currents or Air Streams )

#   Currency Density Maps of India ( like Population Density Maps )- down to individual building / flat !


If all of us think :  What is the use of sending / forwarding these emails to the Policy Makers , since no one seems to be listening ?,

then , we are giving up , too soon !  We would have lost the battle even before starting !

That would be a defeatist attitude !

How long can those Policy Makers ignore if a million persons start forwarding these suggestions ?



Warm Regards,

Hemen Parekh

Dear Hemenji

I am in total awe for your time and again emphasising on the most reliable way of finishing off the black money menace. It simply beats my imagination the way you have been putting forward convincing reasons, on different occasions, how this boldest measure will benefit the entire nation for all times to come. One strong dose for treating many ills of the nation.

Really, the future belongs to not only men with a vision, conviction but also determination to take bold steps. Your suggested face-saving provisions of 'disclaiming ownership' and of 'non prosecution' should be enough to come clean once and for all, for the immediate & long term welfare of the Indians. You also assure no need of 'discussions' or 'passing any Bill' for implementing this. Has this been vetted by the legal eagles of India, I wonder.

Hemenji, perhaps, many like me are dying to know from you if and what response, if at all any, have you received from those entrusted with the governance of this country? Are they going to let go of this golden opportunity? Why there is such indifference from the GOI, better to say, the PM who is not only impatient to improve the quality of life for the Indians but open to out-of-the-box ideas for achieving this? When they are too busy with day to day and urgent matters and a person like you is fully concentrating on original, refined and evaluated solutions, why shouldn't they acknowledge and convey readiness to discuss & consider them? Hope and pray, a sense of urgency dawns upon them and at least a dialogue is initiated.

Warm regards and best wishes = Gurudatt

 Help  !  please , rescue me  !


You would expect this kind of a cry from an innocent person , locked up behind bars


But can you make a currency note of Rs 1000 / Rs 500 , locked up in a bank locker or a home cabinet , to cry out :


"  Please , liberate me ; I am held hostage by a black marketer "


For over 2 years , I have been saying that making high denomination currency notes to " declare their locations ", is not only possible but that it is the ONLY PERMANENT FOOL-PROOF way , to eliminate from our economy , the twin scourge of CORRUPTION / BLACK MONEY


Those who still have some lingering doubts about both , the feasibility and the inevitability of my suggestion, may want to read the following news report ( DNA / 08 Aug 2016 ):


SMART  DRESSING

Scientists are developing a novel technology for smart clothes that would contact charity shops or auction web sites like eBay when they are not worn regularly


THE  TECHNOLOGY

Researchers from Birmingham City University plan to create an " Internet of Clothes " that tags garments using washable contactless technology , known as Radio Frequency Identification ( RFID )


WASTE NOT , WANT NOT

Researchers said, users can now move away from the idea of ownership of clothing, to use them as long as they need them


HOW  IT  WORKS

Step # 1  : Users will receive a tweet and message every day from the clothing asking to be worn

Step # 2  : Forgotten items in the wardrobe will text owners to remind them they are gathering dust

Step # 3  : If the notifications are ignored by the user, the garments will get in touch with a clothing charity


Report in newspaper " Business Line "  adds :

" Think of the surprise when an owner suddenly receives bids for items they did not know were in their wardrobe "



Now in India , the owners / hoarders of crores of BLACK MONEY , are unlikely to forget how many of Rs 1000 / 500 , currency notes they have stashed away - and precisely where !


But , if those notes were embedded with RFID micro-sensors ( thinner than human hair ) - as repeatedly suggested by me - then those owners would certainly get surprised ( albeit , unpleasant ! ), when they receive an SMS from the Income Tax Department / Enforcement Directorate , saying :



" Please , explain the source of 10,000 currency notes of Rs 1000 each , located in your Bank Locker / home cabinet , at GPS located address, XYZ  ( or different nos at different locations )

Of course , if you disclaim its ownership and surrender these amounts within 24 hours, for productive use by the nation for building infrastructure - and , thereby create millions of jobs , we will not prosecute you "




MY  LOGIC

If clothes remaining unused ( for a long time ) want to become " useful " by being offered for charity , then why not provide the same advantage to Rs 100 lakh*crores worth of high denomination currency notes, lying unused in bank lockers / home cabinets ?


Surely , these notes do not like to be held " hostage / remain unused / gather dust " and would want  to move , from hand-to-hand , by free circulation in MAINSTREAM LEGAL ECONOMY !


Whereas yesterday's passing of GST Constitutional Amendment Bill in Lok Sabha , is no doubt a great reform , it will be , at least 3 years before we see its positive impact on our GDP ( ignoring the fact that it took 10 years of debate / discussions / persuasions to reach this stage ! )

 
But , on the other hand embedding RFID sensors into high denomination currency notes would need,


#   No discussions ( since, no political party would want to appear to be protecting the black money ! )

#   No passing of any Bill in the Parliament



And its impact on the economy / GDP , will become visible within 3 months of its implementation


For full details of my suggestion , read " Internet of Currency Notes "




Shri Narendra Modi often says , "  I like to experiment and take bold , out-of-the-box decisions "



This is one decision that the generations of Indians to come, will remain to him grateful for !
