Bhagat Singh's name in real sense became symbol of Indian revolutionary movement like Lenin of Russian revolution . Britishers acknowledged his political inclination & perspective which became a stiff reason to hang him without a fair trail & justice. According to Jatindra Nath Sanyal , a co-accused in Lahore Conspiracy Case & who knew him very well wrote: Bhagat   Singh was an extremely well read man & his special sphere of study was Socialism.

The aim remains to thrash & curb the circulation of black money which persists in domestic market. It is also said that demonetization will act against terrorism by preventing the circulation of fake currency note printed “across the border”? This argument hinges crucially on the assumption that the technology employed in printing the new tender will prevent any possibility of faking it. The Demonetization of 86 percent of the currency of the country, a virtually unprecedented measure anywhere in the world, has brought immense hardship to the working people of the country, and has damaged their living standards permanently. Many however believed that it was a step being taken for the greater social good, for achieving certain important social goals.
