The book, titled 'The Black White & Grey - Re-Coloring The Rupiah', authored by Pragun Jindal and published by Money Worries, looks at the black money menace and ways to curb it.[13]

In this book, the author unfolds this dark world, which eats into an idea of an equal world where the rich get richer staying on the dark side while the poor are marginalized. There are tricks to keep the cover of darkness intact and every time an effort is made to lift the veil, the tricks become sharper.[14][15]

This book looks at the world that thrives in the shadows, fueled by money that exchanges hands in the dark and never gets reported – "The Kala Dhan."[16][17]
