We should all say no to China made crackers...leds lights etc... Let's go desi this is Diwali...(sorry for deviating a bit frm the topic)
NOt really deviating, this issue does have a direct effect on the topic. China's support to Pakistan and its antisocial activities is nothing new, it is an old story. Every time India has made a move in the UN or elsewhere to declare Pakistan a terrorist state officially, it was China who has opposed it and not allowed it to happen. China is the one who is openly supporting Pakistan, it has vested interests in doing so because of Pakistan's proximity to India in terms of borders and it just wants to garner more support from Pakistan because China too is claiming Arunachal Pradesh and other regions of India as its own. So the enemy's enemy is the friend, being the case for China and Pakistan. You have rightly said that banning Chinese goods totally and completely from India would be the best thing to happen to us as India is the largest market in Asia, or probably the world for Chinese goods. But the so-called social workers will not let it happen as the cheap goods are mostly sold by small time hawkers. So to earn their livelihood, would these hawkers turn patriotic and stop selling those goods???
