Consumers get focused on price ...Very rightly said. Consumers get focused on price only and that itself kills heritage because unethical manufacturers and traders are always ready to do jugaad n produce fake copies of everything. To attack at root source is most important and that's why the Govt & administration n law enforcement must take action against these fake producers who are killing the livelihoods of our real weavers who work so hard to produce authentic handwoven items.Amrita Sabathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09215997139551830844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8344595579020871515.post-64130349099610582332020-05-02T17:32:34.731+05:302020-05-02T17:32:34.731+05:30I have heard about GI.

But there are many people who are not really bothered about whether the product is genuine or not, but they are focussed only on the price of the product. So, if it's cheap, they don't care if it's genuine or not.Pradeep Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873369124947878452noreply@blogger.com
