About this episode

Hey folks, as you probably know, every year we have a tradition of doing a post-Independence Day special. This one’s two days late because there was a Sunday in between. But nevertheless, here it is.

So, in today’s episode on 17th August 2026, we tell you how money has evolved in India since the British left. Just a heads up though. This one’s a Finshots special and a little longer than our usual stories.
