 * General comments - The term "Rural Markets" have come into circulation for last 10-15 years in the context of Indian economy, particularly, after economic reforms and the green revolution which created a lot of purchasing power in the hands of rural folks of India. This segement of Indian market, particulary, consumer segment, has attracted the attention of big corporates and even of several multi national corporations operating in India. A re-write of the article is required to make it to conform to wikipedia standard and the points must be made clear. I am not sure, but I do have a feeling that the article has been made / written in a style to look like an original research, whereas the factual position is that most of the points are now well accepted reality of the Indian economy. I will try to do revision / give some inputs, so that a consensus may be made for keeping or deleting this article. Right now, I searched the Google - "Rural Markets" gave me 62,600 hits - naturally, the subject has been engaging the attention of people, and the article should find a place in wikipedia. Even, rural markets of China have been  gaining prominence. If the consensus emerges, the spelling of the article should be like this: Rural Market --Bhadani 21:17, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
 * I have done a revision, which include removing a lot of extra materials. In view of the changes, a fresh stand may be taken - to keep or to delete. I am not participating in the voting process, as I have myself done the revision. However, to attract the attention of the 3 Users who have expressed their opinion, I am requesting them to have a relook at the article --Bhadani 07:41, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
