A Humble Request to all

Everyone wants co-operation from the public. Sure, we are as patriotic as anyone else. But I don't go to China to buy a pen or a nailcutter. I buy them because they are available in the market in abundance and are affordable enough. How do these products get in the markets ?? Why don't we question the government and ask them stop/reduce the imports; or at least make them unaffordable ??
In the end it is the public which is the loser both ways. This thing about cheap imports is like cigarettes. The govt. condemns it, has the power to stop it, but wont do it because of the revenue it generates.
The government wanted to reduce the import bill, so what did they do ? They imposed heavy import duty on gold (even if it resulted in smuggling), and brought down the imports to contain the CAD. They can do the same with the cheap imports; but they won't for some political reasons of their own.
Why don't we start a campaign to ask the government to contain the imports ? Or provide facilities for cheap manufacturing here in India itself ? Do we really need foreign expertise to make pens and nail cutters and scissors ?

I repeat, NO government will take any initiative to curb such imports, except under public pressure. What India needs is a Gandhi type movement to boycott foreign goods. But leaders of such stature are not there nowadays, are there ?
I have, time and again, over the years, across different forums and by writing to various ministers etc - asked for a "Swadeshi" stamp on various goods and services - say a toothpaste should have a stamp saying "70% swadeshi" or "20% swadeshi" or "100% swadeshi". This, along with the BSI stamp. This should be made mandatory for everything so that at least we know which products are imported and to what extent. It is possible that a product is wholly Indian except for 5%-10% royalty paid to foreign owners.
There is nothing wrong in buying chinese products. The more important thing is we also need to keep exporting something valuable to other countries.
As long as we keep our current account balanced (not in deficit), things will be okay.
We all need to trade with other countries. Trade is good and makes everyone better off. But we must not just import without exporting something of equivalent value. That makes us poor in the long run.
