Gladly.Is it wrong to revolt against anything that is unconstitutional?
Perhaps yes. If I and you counterfeit currency notes, we go to jail. When the government, via the RBI, does the same thing, they get scott free. Care to explain why such dichotomy?
The Government, which draws its power from the people, has been given a mandate to maintain the precarious balance of the economy by controlling the number and value of a currency note in circulation according to the principles of free market policy. Due to the the inappropriate choice of people, inept members of the political fraternity sit at the helm of the governmental bodies which in turn manipulate the Rbi, such that the economy keeps bankrolling their populist economic policies which perhaps ensures their retention of power for yet another term. Therefore, though paradoxical, the people are at fault and not the officials when they `counterfit notes using Rbi machinery`and go scottfree as the people should have been clairvoyant enough to have seen the rise of these problems and not lament afterwards, definitely not revolt against it by counterfeiting themselves before making the law conducive for such an exercise which might perhaps impart legality to it.
Now in the case of Maoists, they are indulging in an activity which is beyond the rights given to every citizen by the State. If such activity has to be given a stamp of legality, even then it has to be done through a political process which obviously includes their entry into politics and excludes their tyranny in jungles using arms and ammunitions and help from anti Indian forces. In short, if you have to beat the system, be the system, or do not allow the system to be put up in the first place.
