2016 The End

2016 the End refers to a significant period in India characterized by socio-political transformations, economic challenges, and cultural shifts. This year witnessed the implementation of the landmark Goods and Services Tax (GST) initiative aimed at streamlining the tax structure across the nation. Additionally, the government enacted demonetization in November 2016, rendering ₹500 and ₹1,000 banknotes invalid, a move designed to combat corruption and black money but met with widespread criticism and chaos. Socially, India experienced a surge in activism, particularly regarding issues such as women's rights and environmental concerns. Thus, 2016 was a pivotal year marking both continuity and change in India's modern landscape.
