India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has outlined his controversial plan to make India a
cashless society. Indians are already up in arms following his recent and sudden decision
to ban the old 500 and 1,000 rupee banknotes. They ceased to be legal tender in India from
the 9th of November, although the old 500-rupee note was replaced by an updated version.
The government claimed the move was an effort to stop the banknotes being used to fund
terrorism, as well as being a crackdown on counterfeit money in India. The ban means 80
per cent of the country's currency has been withdrawn from circulation and business has
been brought to a virtual standstill. It is very unpopular among most Indians.
