Bill Maurer, dean of the School of Social Sciences at UCI, and Lana Swartz, write:
“On 16 November 2016, Prime Minister Narendra Modi made the surprise announcement
that all 500 and 1000 rupee notes were being demonetized—they would become worthless
paper within 30 days and people had a short window of 50 days (it was later shortened)
to exchange their existing notes for new ones.”
