*Prefatory Note*



Demonetisation is, beyond doubt, the most talked of action taken by the
incumbent Narendra Modi regime, as yet, which came to be in place in May
20141, just over three and a half years back replacing the UPA regime, with
the Congress at the head, soundly defeating it in the national poll held a
while earlier.2, 3, 4

One of the major promises made by Narendra Modi, and his party BJP, during
the poll campaign was to end the *policy paralysis* under the UPA-II5, led
by, scholarly, soft-spoken and rather reticent Dr. Manmohan Singh, who,
btw, had never ever won a direct election, at whatever level.

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.
