I think that was the point: if done quickly, it makes it impossible to find places to launder your illegally acquired income. Whether that was actually achieved was debatable.

But implementating such arbitrary measures with immediate effect is tenable in a democracy or not is my question. I think not, because ends do not justify means.

Doesn't seem like there's much left to debate. All demonetisation did was serve to legitimise a lot of illegal cash that made it back into the system.

True. A friend of my relative who is a Sales-tax officer had tons of cash(most of it illegal) in his home. His entire night was spent calling his friends and requesting them to take a part of his cash for some time.
