Ganesha picture on Indonesian rupiah When Indonesia experienced continuous decline of rupiah (value), in 1997 the finance minister believed that if Ganesha’s picture is placed on the currency note, the slide would (in currency value) stop. They did as proposed and the slide stopped and the value of Indonesian currency became stable. How surprising !!! In Thailand, one of the names of the king is Rama. Their writings follow the Sanskrit technique, now rarely used in India. But we as a 80 per cent Hindu nation, are still talking about secularism and losing our self pride and dignity. What a shame
