This might be a familiar list, but I couldn't see or
feel the change so I thought why not repeating it again. Only then it can
reach out to mass and can create a real impact.
Can you recognize the value of our currency INR to Dollar at the
time of independence? It is same as dollar, i.e. $ 1 = Rs 1 but what is
the position today? $ 1 = Rs 60! And the estimated value at the end of
this year is approximately 70! Our national currency INR gets weaker day
by day ultimately resulting in the dollar’s rise (And the irony is we think as
if the Dollar is getting stronger day by day!)
'What went wrong?' and 'when it went wrong?' are not the subjects
to be discussed at this point. What can be done in order to bring back our
currency to the state where it started, matters the most.
Nobody is responsible for the fall except us. In olden days,
during the monarchy, money emerges from the King and then extends to the
employees in the contour of a salary, which is spent on the market and it
ultimately goes back to the King as tax. Whatever or however this cycle occurs,
the important thing you need to realize is that our money is with us and it
rotates around us. And what happens today is quite an opposite, i.e. people
earn and spend the money at the marketplace buying foreign goods and our money
goes out from our nation, hence resulting in all kinds of trouble i.e.
inflation, depreciation, and a lot more economic terms that you can find out in
our national dailies. Government should also be blamed for introducing foreign
goods in Indian markets in the name of FDI, but the ultimate responsibility lay
with us. What can you do to change this?
Simple, buy Indian products. Again, it might sound familiar, but
still that could do the difference!
- Lassi, Tender coconut, lemon sherbath, Fruit-mixer, Jigarthanda are very refreshing and has their unique flavour. Why cant we try it instead of Coke or Pepsi? Did you know? Every soft drink has been produced for just 60-70 paise, whereas it is sold at the cost of Rs 10-20 and even more in some shopping centres. If at all you want to go for carbonated drink, try Bovonto and other Kalimark products as it is our product.
- I am sure our own products like Cinthol, Santoor, Medimix, Neem can soothe your skin and polish it well so let us give it a chance rather than going for of Lux, Lifebuoy, Rexona, Dove, Pears. Did you know? Hamam is not an Indian product, most of us consider it as our own product but it is not.
- Remember Vicco vajrathanthi Advertisement in DD?? Definitely it is a very good replacement for Colgate, Pepsodent, Close-up.
- Why going for ponds, Johnson-n-Johnson, shower-to-shower when you can find our own beauty products like Cinthol, Gokul, Santoor, Boroplus.
- Planning to gift a watch to your loved one? Go for Fastract, Titan raga, Sonata instead of Omega, Citizen, Tissot, Casio and others.
Most importantly, Mobiles! I have witnessed people being
crazy about Apple iPhones. Ofcourse it is unique and has its own style, but my
tip is, when you can find a mobile (Micromax, Karbon, for example) with all the
features wiz-a-wiz iPhone or Samsung in a reasonable (attractive) price
why can’t we go for it? I am sure this sounds a bit controversial, but trust me
when I tell you I am not a marketing agent for any of these products mentioned
above. Consider this as a proclamation from a patriotic idiot instead.
None of the Indian products are subordinate in quality, they might
look a bit less fancy, that’s it!
Why is China so ahead, because they use their own products and
also export it to the whole world.
We blame politicians for everything, but how much we contribute to
our own nation’s development?
Changes come from within! Let us be the change!
To-do-list for every INDIANS..

Thank you Revathy for commenting. I appreciate your approach!
DeleteA Nice read. Few sounds impractical though :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Preethi for reading my post. I understand your opinion but something has to be done from our side instead of giving complete responsibility to our politicians and bureaucrats. It may sound impractical but achievable.
