Things That Will Make You Say, "It Happens Only In India!"

2. Million Dollar Weddings

The estimated worth of Indian wedding industry is getting bigger and fatter with 1, 25, 000 crore (Rs 1,250 billion). With the business rising at an average rate of 25 per cent per annum, the lushness has been doled out by Indians on weddings.

The entire market is estimated to be around $11 billion worth and rich Indians are spending carelessly not only on food and ferry guests about, but also on "thank you gifts" and invites.

3. Millions Of Tons Of Grain Rot In Storage

Over 10 lakh tonnes of food grains worth several hundred crores of rupees, which could have fed over one crore hungry people for a year, were damaged in Food Corporation of India (FCI) godowns in 2011, reports PTI.

The damages were suffered despite the FCI spending 242 crore while trying to prevent any loss of food grains during storage. Ironically another 2.59 crore was spent just to dispose off the rotten food grains.

With India being home to one-fourth of the world’s hungry population and a third of its malnourished children, it is reported that 63 percent children in India go to bed without any food.
