I am not googling it. I shared the search link for the commenter who asked about it. I am from a village in Bihar and family lives in nearby small towns. When the announcement for demonetisation was done I was asleep in a train to Hubli (from Bangalore) and I woke up to it with approx Rs 150 in my wallet (~3 dollars) and I backpacked across north and north east India for the next two months. I had left for the trip the previous day. I lived it as close as it could be in my capacity and mind it I was in a very privileged position. Really privileged and it was still very difficult. I could finally get some cash from a bank manager in Hubli who was a friend's relative and I went on.

But I agree on the bias part I should have just suggested to search "India + demonetisation" and only suggested to play with the search terms as in adding words like "effects", advantages, disadvantages etc.

> Jammu

And the villages and towns I am talking about (esp. in the hinterland and the North East) are something entirely else if I consider Jammu a small town (I say this relatively)
