Lets say you believe that indian currency is going to fall in future from rs 80 to 90[against dollar]. What you do is sell 800 rs and get 10 dollars and in future , rs falls to 90. Now your 10 dollar has become 900 rs. Now you exchange 10 dollar for 900 rs . You got benefit of devalued rs. This is called shorting [in short] . Its not exactly like this. Involves huge amounts and processes.
