What Really Happened to India’s Gold During the 1991 Crisis?

In 1991, India was facing one of the most serious economic crises in its history. Foreign exchange reserves had fallen dangerously low, leaving the country struggling to meet its international payment obligations. Then came a dramatic decision: India used part of its gold reserves to raise desperately needed foreign currency. But what actually happened to that gold? Was it sold, pledged, or physically sent abroad? In this documentary, we break down India’s 1991 gold crisis, the foreign exchange shortage, the role of the RBI and the government, and the financial mechanism behind the gold transactions.
