November 12, 2021 5 years on, the failures of demonetisation are even more stark
The government kept changing the justification for demonetisation, but it failed no matter what the objective was.

About All Indians Matter

From the publisher's feed

All Indians Matter is a digital home for conversations with and about India on the issues that truly matter.

For most of our post-Independence years, this was done by the news media. However, in recent times, the media have been found wanting. As a result, the issues that should be highlighted are sidelined and the voices that should find a megaphone are muffled. This podcast is an effort to engage with everyone who cares about India, its Constitution, its liberal and secular values.

All Indians Matter is the creation of Ashraf Engineer, who was a senior journalist with some of India’s leading newspapers for 17 years. His media work included a stint in 2011 in Afghanistan, where he trained and mentored journalists. He subsequently quit the news media and is now part of the brand communication industry.
