How Demonetization and Its Multidimensional Effects Immensely Revitalize Narendra Modi’s Vision For Making India Great November 8, 2016 is very significant for two great developments in history: It marked the beginning of Donald Trump era in America, heralding radical societal changes in the Western world, while in India, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s stunning and massive DEMONITIZATION move has literally electrified a whole people with great hopes for a corruption-free era in the Eastern part of the world. This is the Modi revolution in India. There is no parallel to it anywhere in the world. The whole world wants to follow this experiment, no matter the dominant corporate media, that monopolizes the age-old practice of fooling the people and holding the people-elected leaders at ransom on the tricks of public relation ‘ratings’, have done their best in discrediting this highly patriotic reform which they want the government to countermand. What is discussed here is not the pros and cons of the DEMONITIZATION issue, which, like in the case of Donald Trump in America, has been first attacked by the corporate vested interests and their monopoly media, only for this noble venture to prove its detractors wrong and getting overwhelming support from all people and immensely benefiting the nation in the long run. Since independence, India has witnessed many revolutions inside the country. But, on the 8thNovember 2016, Indians were stunned by the demonetization revolution brought about by Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi, a revolution which is considered as a … huge surgical attack on black money, both ‘systematic and systemic’ in electoral politics, propped up by corrupt businessmen, politicians and executives. By invalidating the highest...

Report from New York on 29 November suggests that Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is leading an online poll of readers’ choice for Time magazine’s ‘Person of the Year’ in 2016 honour, which has contenders like US President-elect Donald Trump, the outgoing US leader Barack Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin. For the fourth year in a row, Modi is among the contenders for Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ honour, which the US publication bestows every year to the one “who has most influenced the news and our world in the past year, for good or ill.” Last year German Chancellor Angela Merkel was Time’s ‘Person of the Year’. While each year Time’s editors make the ultimate decision as to who from among world leaders, presidents, protesters, astronauts, pop icons and disrupters should be person of the year, it also asks readers to cast their votes and decide who they think most shaped a particular year. Time said the reader poll is an “important window” into who they think most shaped 2016. Modi had won the readers’ poll of Time’s Person of the Year in November 2014, securing more than 16 per cent of the almost five million votes cast. He was again among the contenders for the annual honour in 2015 but was not among the final eight candidates shortlisted by Time magazine editors for the title. “In 2016, the news and our world were subject to a wide range of influences. A presidential campaign in the United States exposed deep-seated fissures and led to the election of a president without precedent in the nation’s history....

Mediacracy is a situation in government where the mainstream mass media effectively has control over the voting public. Mediacracy is closely related to a theory on the role of media, especially in the United States social and political systems that argues that media and news outlets have a large level of influence over voting citizens’ evaluations of candidates and political issues, thereby possessing effective control over politics in the in the world today. 2016 US Election has thus thrown up a fundamental issue of DEMOCRACY to the whole world: the growing irrelevance of election at the behest and meddling of privately owned hi-tech media monopoly ruling the roost and contaminating American political and social systems. Here the moot question is: can the world be a mute witness to this wanton rape of democracy in a nation that is supposed to be the leader and model of democracy in the world? Can this leading nation any longer remain unaffected by elections, unaltered by populist movements and beyond the reach of the law? “Today the path to total dictatorship in the U.S. can be laid by strictly legal means, unseen and unheard by Congress, the President, or the people. Outwardly we have a Constitutional government. We have operating within our government and political system … a well-organized political-action group in this country, determined to destroy our Constitution and establish a one-party state…. The important point to remember about this group is not its ideology but its organization… It operates secretly, silently, continuously to transform our Government…. This group … is answerable neither to the President, the Congress, nor the courts. It is...
