Help Indian economy boom, buy Indian products
If we unite, we can make a difference in our economy. A cold drink that costs only 70 / 80 paisa to produce is sold for nine rupees. A major chunk of profits from these are sent abroad. This is a serious drain on Indian economy.

 

INDIAN ECONOMY is in a deep 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 30,000 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 paisa 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.
 
Coca Cola and Sprite belong to the same multinational company, Coca Cola?
 
Coke advertisement says: ‘Jo chaho hojaye, Coca Cola enjoy’. Well, you can consider some of the better alternatives to aerated drinks. You may drink lemon juice, fresh fruit juices, chilled lassi (sweet or sour), butter milk, coconut water, jaljeera, Enerjee, masala milk. Everyone deserves a healthy drink, including you!

Over and above all this, economic sanctions have been imposed on us. 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.
 
List of products:
 
Bathing soap: Use Cinthol and other Godrej brands, Santoor, Wipro Shikakai, Mysore Sandal, Margo, Neem, Evita, Medimix, Ganga , Nirma Bath and Chandrika, instead of Lux, Lifeboy, Rexona, Liril, Dove, Pears, Hamam, Lesancy, Camay, Palmolive, etc.
 
Toothpaste: Use Neem, Babool, Promise, Vico Vajradanti, Prudent, Dabur products, Miswak, instead of Colgate, Close Up, Pepsodent, Cibaca, Forhans, Mentadent, etc.
 
Toothbrush: Use Prudent, Ajanta, Promise instead of Colgate, Close Up, Pepsodent, Forhans, Oral-B, etc.
 
Shaving cream: Use Godrej, Emani instead of Palmolive, Old Spice, Gillete
 
Blade: Use Supermax, Topaz, Lazer, Ashoka instead of Seven-o-Clock, 365, Gillette
 
Talcum powder: Use Santoor, Gokul, Cinthol, Wipro Baby Powder, Boroplus
instead of Ponds, Old Spice, Johnson Baby Powder, Shower To Shower
 
Milk powder: Use Indiana, Amul, Amulya instead of Anikspray, Milkana, Everyday Milk, Milkmaid.
 
Shampoo: Use Lakme, Nirma, Velvet instead of Halo, All Clear, Nyle, Sunsilk, Head & Shoulders, Pantene
 
Mobile connections: Use BSNL, Airtel instead of Hutch
 
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 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. Our freedom fighters died painfully to ensure that we live peacefully. The current trend is very threatening.
 
Multinationals call it globalisation of the 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 you 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.”

.i was finding on net from soo long about the products that India manufacture and use it ....and finally got ur article.. really good one.. but i want ki there is alternative to every products we use daily...and this can be transferred to every Indian through articles, TV channels ,orkut etc... soo for this i want comparision for all products likefootwears, clothes etc
.Good artical. Even i agree with that, but now a days how many products do we get that are truely made in India? I think its very less, atleast 3 out of 5 products are made or manufactured with the help of foregin equipments. Is it not true?Some or in the other way we depend on them, actually we the people got habituated to that.But at the same time if each and every citizen follows it i think we can do it.
.Something i forgot in previous comment. Would like to know from the aurthor, how much he has invested in any indian company, in the form of shares/stocks or any investment that will positively impact our economy? You might be one of those who do their investments in Fixed depositis and bank funds which are secure and guarantee return. Its high time you shud check where the bank funds to pay you interests on your deposits. Even for a bank like RBI, money does not grow on a Money plant...;)

Dr.Archana - I agree your view.but then how many products we use daily are 100% indian? so far everything is half indian. I appreciate China in this aspect. They have 100% chinese components even if it is fake.. :) If you think about it, then all equipments we use are imported, even in defence and govt owned. All commodities we use are foreign from tooth pastes to cosmetics. Most food is manufactured using outside tech apart from pickles.. :) I make sure i shop from small shops most of the time and go to big bazar only if required. I think this is what makes things work than telling not to use outside products. Thats my view to help small shop keepers than the big once who give all on discount but had paid less at source.
Mr. Jiboy, If you read the article carefully, you will notice, i have no-where mention to "boycott" foreign goods. I have given a thought on buying Indian goods whenever possible.
.This is ultimate crap i say... what if other countries say No to Indian products which have much higher value in the outside market? and what is imports are affected due to this silly decision every other self centred country makes? Wht if US or Japan or European countries say NO to the software we do here? What ifRelaince, Marithu, TATA, Mahindra, Ashok Leyland, Godrej, Hero Honda, Baja, etc could not sell their products outside India? Once this is set up there will be milions of youngsters roaming around without any job that makes sense, and then there will be no cnotrol over themselves and then start affecting the society in a bad manner. This has been the case in 3rd world countries where youngsters lost jobs. so if you want a fall out of society in this way, u very well can go ahead and make this campaign of yours and say no to foreign stuff in your home first. I think you might need an entire crew to figure out what exactly is 100% indian? :) also try to understand the world scenario and globalization when it comes to writing articles, which more silly ppl agree to without even thinkiing.
.Wonderful article.. Every indian must follow, Even knowing about this our politicians keeping silents.. too bad.
.Oh Oh!!! whats a mobile connection have to do with being indian or not!!! Whichever cellular network gives you best coverage go for it guys.. thats what everyone does! :-) pretty funny ending!
.you have done a graet job
.Good article.
.Remembering which is swadeshi is difficult. What we need is Swadeshi Malls and Swadeshi Supermarkets selling Swadeshi goods.
.This is the type of nonsense, mouthing which George Fernandez ruined the economy when Indira Gandhi had just realized the futility of her father's follies. George made Modern Bakeries to produce imitation cola to kick Coca Cola out. It bombed and had to be sold to Lever/ Britannia. Pseudo-swadeshi patriots ignore how much money paid for a bottle of (foreign) soft drink goes to (Indian) government coffers �� over ten times the profit the company makes! It is funny to see fashionable protagonists indulging in silly marches shouting, ��Be Indian, Buy Indian�� while guzzling up imported oil to power their luxury cars and airconditioners everyday! They remind us of self styled freedom fighters �� ironically financed by tycoons who minted money manufacturing superfine textiles. Shopkeepers who stocked imported superfine cloth out of their own money to sell to their willing customers were intimidated and looted by politically motivated ��non-violent�� mobs. Wisdom lies in buying quality stuff that gives maximum value for money rather than go for so-called swadeshi stuff, which is an oxymoron. BTW, when did BSNL decide to dump Huawie/Ericson/Nokia telecom switches in favour of ITI, which gobbles up megabucks to 'manufacture' Alcatel?

For your kind information, the total profit made goes only to the Multinationals. as there is no way we can show fake profits on paper. So plz do ur studies before saying something
.This articile has a meaning because I am presently leaving abroad and see how people support their own local market rather than othes. At the same time these indian companies also need to increase their product quality and awareness.

Yes Sai, I too agree with you, Indian companies need to increase their product quality.
