एक तिरंगेकी कीमत तुम क्या जानो

My happiness at reading about Tihar Jail staff kids handing out chilled water to the demonstrators outside the jail turned out to be short-lived when I read about the Tricolour being sold for Rs 500 apiece. If the reactions at the bottom of this latter news are anything to go by, some have already dismissed this as pure demand vs. supply phenomenon.

I, however, think that this is opportunism at its worst! And those who realized this overpricing should have walked away instead of buying the product in question. That would have been the fitting way to support the ongoing movement.
