Investigating a co-relation between Marriage Celebrations and Price hike in vegetables.

Marriage Celebrations is a big (regressive) business worth 8-10% (One lac Crore p.a. ) of Indian GDP

In the month of January , there were lot of marriages through out India.
This also includes lavish  marriage of the son of Mr. Nitin Gadkari,  BJP President.
Is there any direct or indirect relation between price hike, inflation and conspicuous
consumption and expensive marriages by Indian Rich and Upper middle class
(burzwas) ?

* Even if 77% of Indians are having disposable income of Re 20 per day; party
goes on. ( if someone disagrees with 77% it is surely more than 55%)

* Not only page 3 culture, corporate, politicians, bureaucrats who think ,it
is their right to celebrate lavishly ; but also lower middle class brides and grooms
( "well-educated") think that it is their duty to celebrate their marriages lavishly.

* Thanks to our "empowered", "Independent " and  "educated" women power who is so much interested and focused on enjoying "sangeet" and "Mehndi" rather than focusing on
finding long term ideal life partner. Contrary to this, there was a news from USA , that
American brides are  cutting their wedding costs.
I think as  a  man  I would find  American  woman far  better and marriageable than Indian women.

* These girls hate patriotic, idealistic and responsible guys who used to be Heroes
at the time of independence; which is why hardly any freedom fighter was single.

* Same is the case with everyday disco, page 3, business parties.

*  Where are politicians like  Mrs.  Indira  Gandhi who would  set an  example
of austerity in her  Son Rajeev Gandhi's marriage.  It  was she who gave away
all  her jewelery in Indo-Pak war. There are many like these. But we think these
people are out of fashion.

* When Obama , having simple and small personal wealth of around 25 crore Indian Rupees, praises Mahatma Gandhi , suddenly our Indian Americans , politicians and youth "have to agree"with Uncle Sam. Otherwise Gandhiji is almost  officially  "Not applicable" , "Not  sensible",
"Not contemporaneous" model.

 *  When China and other Asian countries can retain their Easternness and Asian-ness why  common Indian  is  tortured to accept westernness by foreigners like  Soniyas and  Manmohan  singhs.

The Flourishing Indian Wedding Industry
An Indian wedding entails tremendous business opportunity


.(......................following details are from website....
The Indian Wedding Industry
Currently, the Indian wedding industry is over Rs 100,000 crore and is growing at 25 to 30 per cent annually. The estimated cost of a wedding with no expenses spared could be between Rs 5 lakh to Rs 5 crore, in India.

The wedding market in India

• No. of Indian marriages in a year: Approx 1,00,00,000
• Indian wedding market worth: Rs 100,000 to Rs 110,000 crore
• Gold and diamond jewellery market worth: Rs 60,000 crore
• Apparel market (wedding) worth: Rs 10,000 crore
• Durable goods market worth: Rs 30,000 crore
• Hotel and other wedding related market worth: Rs 5,000 crore market
• Pandal and venue decoration market: Worth Rs 10,000 crore
• Favorite honeymoon destinations: Goa, Jaipur and Udaipur
• Goa wedding cost: Between Rs 1 crore to 1.5 crore
• Jaipur wedding cost: 1 to 2 crore
• Wedding cost in metropolitan cities: Between Rs 25 lakh to 70 lakh
• Wedding invitation card market : Worth Rs 10,000 crore annual
• Bridal Mehendi market in India: Worth Rs 5000 crore

Item-wise expenses on Indian weddings

• Dinner cost: Rs 700 to 1000 per person
• Pandal decoration cost: Rs 10,000
• Bridal designer saree/lenhga cost: Between Rs 10,000 to 50,000
• Designer shervani cost: Rs 15,000 to Rs 40,000
• Wedding invite cost: Rs 500 to Rs 1500 per card
• Bridal make up cost: Between Rs 5000 to Rs 50,000
• Bridal Mehndi cost: Between Rs 1000 to Rs 5000

With each passing year, Indian weddings are getting bigger and better offering lucrative business opportunity to players involved. Giving up the basic traditional look, the Indian weddings are donning a more corporate look, these days.

Currently, the country has a population of around 1.25 billion and considering an average family with five members, there are around 250million families in India. With about one marriage per family every 20 years, the country averages roughly 10 million marriages every year. An average 30 to 40 grams of gold is spent in every marriage across the country, thus the total consumption of gold comes between 300 to 400 tonmes annually.

It is also expected, the per capita income will be tripled in a couple of decades and the per capita consumption of gold during weddings or otherwise will increase. With half of India’s population being under 29 years of age, the marriage market is set to boom like never before over the next five to ten years.

If we take the above figures, it means the Indian marriage market is around Rs 1 lakh crore to Rs 300,000 crore annually, if one crore marriages are solemnized in the country annually.

A person, in India, spends one fifth of the wealth accumulated in a lifetime on a wedding ceremony. That means, a tremendous opportunity for retailers to capitalise on.

PICTORIAL WARNING ON CIGARETTES

Union Health Ministry  of  India  declared  that  Cigarette companies  have to
show picture warning showing diseased patient on Cigarette  packets.

This is done in many countries recently as anti - Smoking campaigns.
May be this started with a very successful anti - addiction (anti-smoking )
campaign in USA , leaving hardly any smokers in USA in recent years.

Being SURE about the result  that  most of the people  will  leave smoking ;
Godfrey Phillips and ITC stopped the production of cigarette Units.

Contrary to become happy about the outcome,  Union  health Ministry  withdrew
the decision and diluted the compliance  by saying they have to  show pictorial warning
once in the 2 years.

The argument of government is that suddenly employees of the cigarette companies
 will become unemployed!!!!! lol ! actually Ministry should be happy and should have Plan B, PLAN C, PLAN D to rehabilitate employees of cigarette companies etc.

When Government wants to set up SEZ, it displaces many villages without any
delay. Was there collusion (match fixing) between Cigarette companies and health ministry.
Was the Order was just there to threaten the companies and make under table "deal"

Anyways I have better plan, Why not Religious NGOs , take it up, raise the funds from public and private sponsors for the campaign - have banners / rally of pictorial warning in all Metros, cities, villages.

================================

In past Many religious NGOs had made Anti-diabetic campaigns in Big Metros and Cities;
Today diabetes is again becoming a threat too India
due to lack of health awareness ; there is a need to Re-campaign anti-diabetic campaign nationa-wide.

We need Public Sector Hotels

* To give poor and common men
a healthy, balanced - nutritious (with dal , vegetables, chapati etc.), reasonably priced meals and snacks

* This will reduce cost of Cooked Food.

* Many Government Agencies right from FCI, Agricultural ministries
 to retail public sector hotels can reduce the confusion of
"Food security demand -supply mismatch" and other problems

*  All the advantages of standardizations and socializations
in supply channels  - right from farmers  to  consumer  will be available.

* This would be  one of the quantum leap towards  fighting food inflation,
poverty,  hunger and mal-nutrition.

* This will generate lot of employment

* Regarding private hotels , they were allowed to earn as much as their
10 generations can live ; so why bother for their unemployment ?

"BE OPEN TO THE SOLUTIONS INCLUDING NATIONALIZATION AND PUBLIC SECTOR"

A Case Against America (USA)

* USA is not only imperialist but a great threat to the world ; as Germany was
just before Second World War.

* America is not just imperialist but Mother of all evil.
* Mother of terrorism and Weapon trade
* Destroyer of environment - Destroyer of Mother earth
* Destroyer  of  all cultures of nations
* Destroyer of sovereignties of nations
* Destroyer of freedom and self respect of common global citizen
by suppressing them by  Market  forces, imperialism and  American $'s  artificial strength.

* USA has destroyed deliberately lifestyles, cultures, food habits,health, looks marriage, family
 and other social structure,
* America is a  Monstrous State  like that of Ravan's Lanka which
has artificially spreading - consumerism, crony capitalism, GM  Food etc.

* Taking charge of finance / money of the world thro IMF, WTO, World Bank
and manipulating these world organizations (especially  IMF and  World Bank)
against all nations and for selfish petty interests of USA

==============================================
A  Case Against American Indians

Most of the American Indians who suddenly become patriotic to USA
in last 15 years and criticized India as no Bangladeshi, Nepali or Ethiopian
would do to their own country.


These (most of them) traitors
who still can not achieve anything in India , suddenly are welcomed and elevated
in their status in USA by paying 25 lacs - 50 lacs to US Economy ;
just so that they become Mole, an agent who work for  US Interests
and loot all kind of   national  resources  including human resources  of their
mother land, to fool their spiritual and emotional brothers India and
TAKE FROM INDIA , GIVE IT TO USA policy
for their petty self interests, satisfy pseudo ego, so that people suddenly
respect those anti-social elements and give the best brides to their sons,
and then they can go further by insulting, torturing, traumatizing  THE  TALENTED
THE MERITOCRATIC contributor youth  in India, which is unmarried or ill-married .

DISEASE SCAM

MNC Pharmaceutical  Companies and  Local doctors  and those who  are  in hospitality
businesses   in nexus with Municipal corporations  of METROs   and big cities..
*** are  creating and spreading diseases to fuel their profits .

1>  Spread diseases diseases like dengue, malaria and chicken-guinea.- artificially by dirty surroundings and creating mosquito's

2> They see to it that preventive measures or mass corrective public measures are not taken.

3> Mass Awareness Campaigns are not implemented by Municipalities. People
who spread awareness are removed brutally.

4> Doctors are tight-lipped and just give medicines on prolong and regular basis.

one can find many articles on internet to substantiate negligence
by public bodies to easily prevent such diseases. 

Warm regards

AS A THUMB RULE , STOP FOLLOWING AMERICAN MODELS IN INDIA

YES.

Whether it is business or marketing,

OR Government Schemes, Governance, State  Development models or Foreign policy.

OR  models for NGOs.

OR    Adopting scientific research,  Education, Public transportation, Telecoms,
           Power generation, Infrastructure development, reality, entertainment,
           Public health etc. etc. etc.

It is seen in recent years that all these American models in India have created
more problems , delays, failures, injustice etc. in Indian society.

So as a thumb RULE we should immediately stop following  "DEVILISH ANTI-WORLD NATION" USA in our public policies.

Commonsense says USA will get destroyed socially , economically and even politically; because its own  Karmas. How far  we can also  follow it and destroy or delay  the  prosperity
of each common man of India ??

ALL EXPOSED - Failure of Privatization

Recent Debacles of world wide recession and expose of record breaking
corruption by Private sector in nexus with politicians; have proved that -

The Success of Liberalization  - Privatization
is Political Patronage and patronage of International Imperialism;
and not their efficiency or performance.

Privatization (crony capitalism) is the  State Sponsored way to
create injustice - political, economical, social injustice.

liberalization or privatization is no way better than Nationalization
or Public  Sector Units. They are merely  favored - in unjust way- by Nation  States
which were Pro - US ,after the cold War Era.

All the politicians and Leaders who were hurt by communism and Socialism;
Those who can not have their clout while the era of  Socialism
and Non Alignment Movement - collectively united across the globe.....
The Super Power USA Supporting them......

Those who do not like the idea of self sacrifice and socialism and common good;
suddenly found their importance , thanks to imperialism of Uncle Sam (US)

Just because USA was anti-USSR;  It influenced the world, international
political organizations and nation states - to adopt anti thesis of socialism or
communism - i.e. crony capitalism.

Today the whole world is paying the price for this state sponsored Class struggle.
(where Rich class is favored and poor rather than poverty, are made to extinct )

THE MAJOR CULPRIT USA should pay the highest.
So the whole world and India should not think about USA interest all the time and let nature take its own course. Let US $ fall. let US poverty, hunger and unemployment rise, if they do not repent on their deeds and return back on the path of justice.
