The Great Wall of Boycotting
With the current government issuing a
clarion call for - 'Make in India' - the recent decision of boycotting Chinese
products didn?t come as a big surprise. This corrective action was in line with
their economic agenda of promoting manufacturing in India and increasing the
exports from our country. So, we thought a poll was in order to gather what the
nation had to say about this. Out of the 1,874 respondents we asked, 57.74% of
them think this to be the right decision as they feel India should promote their
own home-grown products. 17.45% of the respondents do not see any merit in this
decision as India has a lot depending on the products that come from China.
19.37% of the people have a more pragmatic outlook on this subject and think
that everything shouldn't be boycotted, but there should be significant
cutbacks wherever possible. 5.44% of the respondents don't know whether this is
a wise decision or not; it seems it'll take some more time for them to come to
a conclusion.
