The word DEMONETISATION is has been part of every conversation lately in India. What is your take on it? Have you felt any pain or you have the sweet cramps as after effect? Indian economy has been through a lot from the beginning. And it would be unfair to say only Indian economy; every country economy has their own share of ups & downs. If the economy has been stable throughout always than share market would have been a dull place.  There have been numerous stories of side effects of demonetisation, and the will demonstrated has been even stronger.
