I’ve long been fascinated by South Korea, especially
since the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis, when I
learned that it was the first OECD country to
bounce back stronger than ever. And one of the
reasons why it did so was, of course, its people. Korean
people, women in particular, voluntarily donated their
gold and jewelry to help get the nation back on its feet.
I’d never even imagined seeing such a thing.
We Indians are one of the largest importers of gold in the world. Some 1000
tons are imported each year. Indians love
gold.
