Quoted from Wikipedia.org

In economics, inflation is a rise in the general level of prices of goods and services in an economy over a period of time. When the general price level rises, each unit of the functional currency buys fewer goods and services;

It could also be defined as a cosmological event at the very beginning of the universe during which the universe expanded faster than the speed of light in a fraction of a fraction of a second.

What is double digit inflation?

A good description of "inflation" is an increase in prices and a fall in the value of money. Inflation is usually represented as a percentage increase for one month over the same month the previous year. Double-digit inflation is when this percentage is greater than 10%. If inflation rises even more than 100% (i.e. prices are twice s high as last year) it is usually called "hyper-inflation".

What is the current inflation rate in India and what effects of inflation in India?

Current inflation in India is a bit volatile. However, given different estimated values of commonly understood inflation in India, the Wholesale Price Index for all commodities is 156.8 for the month of October 2011 with a base of 2004-05=100. Inflation is the rate of change over any reference period. So, If we compare the figure with October 2010, the inflation is around 9.5 percent. However, wholesale price index (WPI) is not the only indicator to understand inflation. There are other indicators such as Consumer Price Index (CPI). Even within WPI and CPI there are also divisions for different groups of population. In India, for such subgroups inflation is measured by finding the rate of change in such indices for groups like agricultural labourers, urban non-manual employees, Industrial workers and so on. For a detailed description on inflation in Indian context, one may refer to the link <http://lokkatha.com/150/index.php/economics/55-inflation-a-price-rise-in-essential-commodities-a-consumers-perspective> Inflation & Price Rise in Essential Commodities: A Consumer's Perspective
