520			_a"Who Painted My Money White?" is a political thriller that delves into a large-scale conspiracy to destabilize India through the influx of fake currency. The plot begins with a massive shipment of counterfeit 500- and 1000-rupee notes arriving in Kochi, which is then distributed through a network of chartered accountants to members of a minority community. This money is subsequently laundered through shell corporations and charities, aiming to weaken the country from within. The story implicates a "Freedom Party" (widely understood to represent the Indian National Congress) and its corrupt politicians, who allegedly orchestrate this scheme to maintain power by appeasing a minority vote bank and creating an illusion of economic growth through increased money velocity. A compromised Finance Minister is blackmailed into facilitating the printing of high-denomination notes with compromised security features, leading to Pakistan's intelligence wing obtaining the means to produce near-perfect counterfeits. As the fake currency circulates, it drives up inflation and real estate prices. Following a series of scams, the "Freedom Party" is voted out, and a new "People's Voice" party (alluding to the BJP) comes to power. This new government faces a terrorist attack and responds with a surgical strike, prompting Pakistan to retaliate by tripling its fake currency production. India responds with demonetization of the 500- and 1000-rupee notes and the introduction of new currency. However, a porous border allows significant fake currency to enter Indian banks, leading to an alarming situation where more notes return to the Reserve Bank than were initially printed. The counterfeit money then fuels various nefarious activities, including a plot to assassinate the newly elected Prime Minister. The narrative follows the Intelligence Bureau's efforts to track down the assassin and thwart the plot. The book is presented as fiction, but it heavily draws parallels to real-life events and figures in Indian politics, particularly those surrounding the demonetization period and alleged corruption under the Congress government.
