In my opinion deMo succeeded in all but the claimed main objective, which was removal of black money.
Day 1- This is to remove black money!
Day x - removal of counterfeits! Please bear with us.
Day y - cashless economy !
And I vaguely remember there being some other reason(s) which were added later.
This was a farce.
But it does show how deeply Indians feel about corruption and wealth inequality.
The government allowed people to deposit their cash, but taxed it something like 50-70% if it had NO accounting at all.
Most people with black money exchanged their currency notes at a 10% to 20% cost via services that laundered via corrupt employees at banks or routing through newly opened accounts of poor people.
