Oh boy.
They banned some of the most commonly used rupi bills last year and now this. It's so odd that this would work in India and especially China - considering the history of insight and things like Zen.
But then, universe seeks balance, so maybe they have to go down that horrible pit now - getting totally involved in the personhood view of it all.

A friend of mine went to India last year and he said it was rather horrible. Spiritual cornerstone of world history and totally and utterly screwed up today...
