Write an autobiography of a "Rupee" in 80-100 word
Answers
Answer:
he history of the Rupee traces back to Ancient India. The mention of rūpya by Panini is seemingly the earliest reference in an Indian text about coins.[2] The term in ancient India was used for referring to a coin.[3]
The word "rupee" is derived from a Sanskrit word "rūpya", which means "wrought silver", and maybe also something stamped with an image or a coin.[4] As an adjective it means "shapely", with a more specific meaning of "stamped, impressed", whence "coin". It is derived from the noun rūpa "shape, likeness, image".[citation needed]
Arthashastra, written by Chanakya, prime minister to the first Maurya emperor Chandragupta Maurya (c. 340–290 BCE), mentions silver coins as rūpyarūpa, other types including gold coins (suvarṇarūpa), copper coins (tāmrarūpa) and lead coins (sīsarūpa) are mentioned. Rūpa means form or shape, example, rūpyarūpa, rūpya – wrought silver, rūpa – form.[1]
Sher Shah Suri, during his five-year rule from 1540 to 1545, set up a new civic and military administration and issued a coin of silver, weighing 178 grains, which was termed the Rupiya.[4][5] The silver coin remained in use during the Mughal period, Maratha era as well as in British India.[6] Among the earliest issues of paper rupees include the Bank of Hindostan (1770–1832), the General Bank of Bengal and Bihar (1773–75, established by Warren Hastings), and the Bengal Bank (1784–91).
The Indian rupee was a silver-based currency during much of the 19th century, which had severe consequences on the standard value of the currency, as stronger economies were on the gold standard. During British rule, and the first decade of independence, the rupee was subdivided into 16 annas. Each anna was subdivided into 4 paisas. So one rupee was equal to 64 pice (paisa) In 1957, decimalisation occurred and the rupee was divided into 100 naye paise (Hindi/Urdu for new paisas). After a few years, the initial "naye" was dropped.
For many years in the early and mid-20th century, the Indian rupee was the official currency in several areas that were controlled by the British and governed from India; areas such as East Africa, Southern Arabia and the Persian Gulf.
Autobiography of a Rupee:
Here's an autobiography of a rupee.
I am a rupee which was made up of the mixture of various metals. I was made in the place called Mint, which was kept under high security because I was told later that there were people trying to steal me. From the mint, the security guards carried thousands of rupees like me to the bank from where I was distributed to the customers. From there my real journey started, sometimes I was in beggar’s bowl, the other times I was in the pockets of a tea stall owner. I was used and reused several times, went through so many hands that now I could not remember it. But now I’m in a temporary happy place because once an old granny gave me to her granddaughter, and from then on she had kept me safe in her little closet. I’m very happy here, but I’m afraid I will have to leave her someday.
