Abstract: All government policies have a down side and the burden of the down side is often felt only by the common man. This paper considers one such government policy, the demonetization of high denomination currency by the Indian government that took effect midnight on November 8, 2016. In this paper, we have minutely analyzed this government policy from the common person’s perspective by using the concept of sentiment analysis and taking Twitter as a tool.
