New Dehli 22nd December:- Money
Worries’ latest
offering The Black White &
Grey – Re-Coloring The Rupiah penned by a 20 year old CA aspirant Pragun Jindal is a beginners
guide to educate Indians especially the Youth on the black money menace and
ways to help curb it. The book was unveiled today at New Delhi in the august
presence of Manish Tewari, Senior Congress Leader and Paranjoy Guha Thakurta,
Senior Journalist and Social & Political Commentator par excellence.
It
is agreed by all that Black Money has been one of the major curses on the
Indian economy and many economists have pointed out that if Black Money
creation is curbed in India – the speed of growth of our economy would be many
a times more than what has been witnessed lately. The current government has
taken a major step in demonetization of the higher currency but the battle has
just begun. Follow up steps will only tell us whether our country would be rid
of the Black Money menace or not.
Even
though the current steps taken by the current government has brought a lot of
focus to the Black Money menace in the country we feel there is still a lot to
be discussed on the subject. There is a lot of lies, unknown facts and baseless
rumours about Black Money and it seems a lot more education is required
to clear the myths in the minds of the citizenry and more so in the Indian
Youth. The book tries to solve these issues in a beginners style.
In
this book, the Author unfolds this dark world, which eats into an idea of an
equal world where the rich get richer staying on the dark side while the poor
are marginalized. There are tricks to keep the cover of darkness intact and
every time an effort is made to lift the veil, the tricks become sharper.
Pragun
Jindal, Author, The Black White & Grey said that a delinquent like poverty, only affects the poor,
unemployment affects those who are unemployed, alcoholism and drug abuse affect
those who devour them, black money is a hitch which does not affect persons who
amass “black dough” but it affects the common man in the populace. Pragun further added that also,
there are shades of grey apart from the Black and White shades of Money and my
book also sheds light on this.
This
book looks at the world that thrives in the shadows, fueled by money that
exchanges hands in the dark and never gets reported – “The Kala Dhan.”
Akhil Jindal,
Chairman, Money Worries and Director, Jindal Equity Research, said that we have been trying to find color in this bi-colored
black and white world. When it comes to color of money, it gets more covert and
enthralling. We have been hearing about black money being amassed away in
benami bank accounts and chuparustam lockers, tax havens and even in big boots
of imported bravura cars of loaded businessmen, corrupt officials, mafias and
some honest politicians. Pragun has very eloquently penned a book which talks
about all of these apart from the new-age currencies of the world like bitcoin.
