Open Letter to Modi: Stop Telling Us to Save the Rupee When Your Government Won’t Lift a Finger
**PM Modi just told ordinary indians to tighten their belts again — work from home, stop buying gold, cancel foreign vacations, and cut fuel use to save the rupee.**
Sounds familiar. And one engineer just fired back with a no-holds-barred open letter that’s going viral for a reason.
Because while the PM preaches personal sacrifice, the hard realities on the ground make it feel like yet another one-way street.
**The savage truths this open letter refuses to let slide:**
- Work-from-home sounds easy until you realise Modi has to actually pass a law — otherwise HR departments and the real-estate mafia will never allow it.
- Stop buying gold? Sure, right after central banks stop hoarding it and driving prices even higher for the rest of us.
- Foreign vacations? Maybe people wouldn’t flee india if our tourist spots had basic things like clean public toilets and decent infrastructure.
- Cut fuel use? Have you seen our public transport lately? Trains are impossible to book, last-mile connectivity is non-existent, and cab surge pricing is out of control. people aren’t choosing luxury — they’re forced into cars.
Indians showed up during demonetisation, lockdown, and Covid. They always do. But after 12 years in power, the government keeps asking citizens to adjust while doing precious little in return.
The letter ends with a simple demand: reduce LTCG, STCG, and STT taxes to pull in foreign investment and actually strengthen the rupee.
Because asking people to suffer quietly while the system stays broken isn’t leadership — it’s just convenient.
