rumour created panic and increased sale of coconut

hi ravisivan, yes i too have heard this news in Tv,but the place is not Tamilnadu, i think it is in Andhra Pradesh, the coconut vendors en-cash the opportunity for selling coconuts with higher price,every body wish to utilized the opportunity,so coconut sellers made this rumor as cash, that is the trend of present people,have a nice day.

you guys maybe not konw,when Japan earthquake happened in Mar 2011.rumour spread in china that the salt was polluted by the radioactive uncleaer material that leak over from the nuclear power plant.nearly 50 percent of the chinese horrified and they began to buy salt as much as possible. i think the most effective way to stop those phenomenon is education,let them konw more konwledge to determine which is right

The people who grow and sell coconuts were probably very happy because there sales sky rocketed. Sounds like they were all worried from a superstition. I believe the rate is 1 in every 1000 babies will be born with a tooth. It is thought my sister was born with onr.

rumours always tend to be multiplying all the time and it keeps ballooning in most area's.but the incident which you have said is quite alarming and i suspect,the coconut sellers would have gone to the extent of doing the rumour so that they can sell more. Its all their marketing trick.

hello sir, I didn't hear the news, but that's very common in our country, as we see breaking a coconut and praying God is not harmful at all, so no worries, they cash the innocence of people,which should be stopped. Anyways at least the coconut sales people will be benefited with this, they can earn good and make money, which was not possible all these days. People in India (including me) no matter how much educated we are, but still will believe in one or the other superstition, in some or the other way. Sometimes when i fell ill, all of a sudden, my mother gets so worried, she feels some evil drishti or something has happened,so she takes some red-chillies and lemon and do some, turns around me, and through it, i don't believe in all this, but only smile at my mom, as i don't like to hurt her feelings and the concern towards me. So as long as we are not harming anyone with our superstitions it is okay, but should not go to extreme extent, like sacrificing blood and all, which i feel is too bad. Finally ,Its very difficult or i say impossible to erase all the superstitions, from Indian people , as all these are in our blood.

I did not heared this kind of rumor through newspapers. Thank you for sharing the news. These kinds of things definitely will lose the self confidence of a person. People should think before they act.

Coconuts are so cheap now on your place. Anyway rumors about something can indeed affect business. So that government must act to stop the rumors and fears of the people. I know coconuts are very important ingredients in our food for most tropical countries.

I bet it is the genius of a young kid trying ti increase the sale of coconuts in his pa's farms..lol Whatever, the end result is achieved..those who can afford, would have spent...:)

That kind of rumor is something that I would never ever take seriously. I'm not a superstitious person and i believe God wouldn't do such a thing. However, hoarding is triggered by rumour of increase price hike here.
