Hi Friend! Comments would be welcome.

The alleged *paralysis*, in turn, was at least partly an outcome of the various corruption scandals that the old regime got embroiled in.6 Modi, a fiery and raucous orator, a complete contrast from the public persona of Singh - in very many ways, rather expectedly used this opportunity to the hilt.7 Be that as it may, November 8 2017 was observed by the various opposition parties, including the Congress, as a *black day*, terming *demonetisation* as a Modi-made disaster. The BJP, on the other, celebrated it, in response, as the *anti-black money *day.8, 9, 10 So, it'd be quite in the fitness of things to make a factual evaluation, even if from a specific standpoint, of the measure, its actual impacts and to what extents it has succeeded or failed to meet its initially, and also subsequently, stated goals over the span of the last one year.
