Means, schools should update the history books and start teaching our own history instead of the popular ones, we need to know who we are then we can focus on the history of other nations.
I have to edit some because i was writing from my old memories what my grandmother told me decades ago, just had a casual query with my parents and they clarified this, it was just request by the authorities because India did not have a defense budget and no weapons, token of appreciation of a few cold coins were given by the government after two decades during early 80's.
And yeah, this is what I am afraid of and a couple of people who I follow in the political related matters keep insiting that there is a possibility of this is happening in the next 5 to 10 years.
One thing they are doing is, they are forming a system to identify all the assets held by individual and family including property, gold and other precious metal.
If you want to speculate wildly, The problem that can arise is that if you revolt or raise your voice against the ruling class your assets can be seized or frozen in the name of anti social or anti national activities. They will not forcibly take your assets, they can take only with consensus either by creating a narrative with sentiments, if not they will not win the next election.
It is possible they can limit the amount you can spend, they are implementing these things for a while. If you sell gold worth 50k and above, the jeweler can only write a cheque and no cash transaction is allowed above that and this rule is in affect around 2016, they might have increased the valuation, have to check this.
