Uncles' Shops

Reliance Fresh stores opened up and agitated the country.UP Govt succeeded to shut it.There is a protest happening in Mumbai.people from all ovder India are gathering.No need to mention that politicians are accompanying them.

I was thinking how much these politicians r thinking about common man.How much common man will be affected with these stores.

People argue that these stores will affect farmers and local Kiryana waalas. I disagree farmers will be any way benefitted.Middle man will go away .they can sell their products directly.I will say they can make a deal with these guys and can be aswsured that their production will not go waste.They can grow their crops according to the demand of these guys. I also heard that Reliance provided a few farmers with the best quality seeds to grow some veg. So how can these poor farmers loose something.Poor farmers are becoming target of politics.

Now lets talk about shops next to our houses.Our Uncles's to whom we are seeing right from child hood.We used to buy our candy's.Some times they used to give it to us for free.Now we r taking about suddenly replacing these uncles with biiiiiiiig players.Will These big store be really able to overtake.It is definetely possible but not at once.it is a slow process.These uncles's shops share a bondage with families.Their main business happen on credit.I think this is the biggest advantage they provide.Just think about salaried class people in small towns.They generally spend their entire salary before 10th of every month.For rest of the days they are dependent on these uncles.

No matter how cheap these big stores sell they cant give these kind of services.So it means there is no direct hit on these shops, surely it has some.But we cant ignore the benefits these big stores provide.Imagine you are getting all the stuff from veg to groccery to cosmetics under one shop.Since the middle man will e out so the products wil be cheaper.Ultimately consumer is benefitted.We are benfitted.Now what will happen to our uncles.But dont you think these big stores cant stablize in small towns wothout local support.So why not to go along with them.Take their franchises.In palce of going against and fighting with the big fish join them.

Some body said our small shops give employment to many uneducated people.Yes they do .Tell me one thing how much do they really pay to these guys for cleaning and weighing.Some peanuts.Now if stores come up won't they be in need of local guys to handle store ,in backend and front end job.What will they be looking in guys for these positions.Some primary level education.Wont it be a good motivation for getting educated.I know in towns generally matric pass people go and run the small shops just because they dont have any thing else to do.Some who cant invest work under Uncles .Isnt it beter for them to be a part a big palyers.

People are just looking at the small picture.or may be our Honourable leaders are misleading them.This is the same situation which was there before industrialisation,computerisation,globalisation.We all know it was for good for all those people who embraced it.People who dint left behind.
