The jury is still out on this one. Any hard proof or statistics that say otherwise ? Wish there was more transparency.

I don't know what macro economic impact it had. Pretty much all the currency came back through the various loop holes in the rules. The liquidity crunch continues to create lot of problems to majority of the country who do not have access to banking and financial services. Nobody really knows the cost of all this and all for what? I still see unaccounted money floating every day and nothing seems to have actually changed

Because we programmers tend to pick up on patterns forming. Once the Indian government sets a trend of repressive anti-citizen behavior, then we can trace it back to the earliest steps in this direction and maybe come up with a solution after understanding the cause.
