This is a content from an email which I received today. Very interesting..must say, very thought provoking. And no nonsense at all. An issue has been addressed in an very touching manner. Ofcourse, it is a must read for every Indian. Though not important for those who are not from this country. And a thing to add, this is not meant to hurt anyone's feelings. Now, please keep reading.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Small example,
Before 5 months 1 US $ = IND Rs 39
After 5 months. Now it is 1 $ = IND Rs 50
Do you think US Economy is booming? No, but Indian Economy is Going Down.
Our Economy is in your hands.
INDIAN economy is in a crisis. Our country like many other ASIAN countries is undergoing a severe economic crunch. Many INDIAN industries are closing down. The INDIAN economy is in a crisis and if we do not take proper steps to control those, we will be in a critical situation.
More than 30000 crore rupees of foreign exchange are being siphoned out of our country on products such as cosmetics, snacks, tea, beverages... etc which are grown, produced and consumed here.
A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paise to produce is sold for NINE rupees, and a major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on INDIAN economy.
We have nothing against Multinational companies, but to protect our own interests we request everybody to use INDIAN products only for next two years. With the rise in petrol prices, if we do not do this, the rupee will devalue further and we will end up paying much more for the same products in the near future.
What you can do about it?
1. Buy only products manufactured by WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.
2. ENROLL as many people as possible for this cause.
Each individual should become a leader for this awareness.
This is the only way to save our country from severe economic crisis. You don't need to give-up your lifestyle. You just need to choose an alternate product.
All categories of products are available from WHOLLY INDIAN COMPANIES.

Every INDIAN product you buy makes a big difference. It saves INDIA . Let us take a firm decision today.
BUY INDIAN TO BE INDIAN we are not against of foreign products.
WE ARE NOT ANTI-MULTINATIONAL.
WE ARE TRYING TO SAVE OUR NATION. EVERY DAY IS A STRUGGLE FOR A REAL FREEDOM.
WE ACHIEVED OUR INDEPENDENCE AFTER LOSING MANY LIVES.
THEY DIED PAINFULLY TO ENSURE THAT WE LIVE PEACEFULLY.. THE CURRENT TREND IS VERY THREATENING.
MULTINATIONALS CALL IT GLOBALIZATION OF INDIAN ECONOMY. FOR INDIANS LIKE YOU AND ME IT IS RECOLONISATION OF INDIA ...
THE COLONIST'S LEFT INDIA THEN. BUT THIS TIME THEY WILL MAKE SURE THEY DON'T MAKE ANY MISTAKES.
WHO WOULD LIKE TO LET A" GOOSE THAT LAYS GOLDEN EGGS" SLIP AWAY.
PLEASE REMEMBER: POLITICAL FREEDOM IS USELESS WITHOUT ECONOMIC INDEPENDENCE .
RUSSIA , S.KOREA , MEXICO ..........THE LIST IS VERY LONG!!
LET US LEARN FROM THEIR EXPERIENCE AND FROM OUR HISTORY.
LET US DO THE DUTY OF EVERY TRUE INDIAN.
FINALLY: IT'S OBVIOUS THAT U CAN'T GIVE UP ALL OF THE ITEMS MENTIONED ABOVE,
SO GIVE UP AT LEAST ONE ITEM TO FOR THE SAKE OF OUR COUNTRY.
"LITTLE DROPS MAKE A GREAT OCEAN "
There is no such thing in anyone's life as an unimportant day.
Each second is so precious "Don't Waste It"

Hey Rajesh..thank dear for your wonderful support as ever. Yes, something to think here for every Indian :)

Dear Aswani, I am sure all the educated Indians are well aware of this and most of us are already trying to use domestic products to improve Indian Economy. It is the Aam Janatha that needs to be educated on this vital issue. I would be grateful if you can think of any media that is easily available to them to know about this.

Thanks a lot, dear Aswani, for your kind visit to my blog and the touching comment! Hope to see you there often from now on... I've just added you on Facebook, too. Do catch me there. :)
Ad this post of yours, indeed, is what's required for the rank & the file in our country to learn about. The motto of 'Be Indian, Buy Indian' is the need of the hour, irrefutably. And yes! As you've pretty aptly said - "LITTLE DROPS MAKE A GREAT OCEAN ", it's for every Indian to get this registered in his/her mind and act accordingly.
Thanks indeed, for sharing the facts & figures that would stimulate all Indians who get to know of this.
Wish you & your family a very happy & prosperous New Year 2010!!! Cheers! :))

This in not only the problem of India, in almost every country, people feel they are struggling with increasing prices..recently on my visit to China, i found a reversal of this matter. Why? The funny reason is that there are Villages where Television and Serials are not yet reached. Yes, Indians are wasting their time by watching idiotic TV programs. the end result is NATIONAL PRODUCTIVITY GOING DOWNN http://businessvartha.blogspot.com
