Rothschild puppet, former tea-wallah and current Payt-Wallah (h/t to Mamata Banerjee), Narendra Modi destroys the historic Benares silk-weaving industry

“In Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s political base of Varanasi, weaver Zainul Abedin stares at the uneven mud floor of his home. Behind him, more than a dozen handlooms lie idle.

Abedin is part of the collateral damage of Modi’s 8 November decision to ban high-value currency notes, effectively cancelling 86% of cash in circulation. The move was designed to stifle corruption and tax evasion, but many of the hardest-hit are workers in India’s vast and intricate informal economy—the small businesses, shops, drivers and countless other basic industries and services that employ more than 90% of Indian workers.

Most are poor like Abedin, who earns Rs250 a day, but collectively they account for almost half the economy. That’s some $1 trillion, or more than the GDP of Indonesia.

“Modi’s cash ban has broken our backs,” said Abedin, 39, who makes Varanasi’s famous silk fabrics, shot with gold and silver, and says he can no longer feed his children. “We weavers won’t last if this continues for even another month.”
