A cheap shot

Selling oneself short is sure to come in the way of the country's progress, says Kavitha...

Many Indian products are described `cheap and the best'. Cheapness and good quality rarely go together. Indian labour and products are sold at a low price. The cheap Indian transport services are bad in quality. We make ourselves cheap by casting votes for a pittance. Selecting cheap products proves expensive in the long run. We should be ready to pay a good price for quality products. Only a change in our attitude will help the production of quality products and services. Our nation cannot become great if we continue to produce cheap labour and goods.
