How deals are struck in Bihar: fingers meet under cloth!
From the archive record
The various styles of deal-making in Bihar - see these unique traits of trade here... Two people bring their hands together under a cloth and exchange offers on an animal at the Sonepur Mela by extending a particular number of fingers to signify the price offer. If the other one doesn't agree, his face says to! A new offer is made. When both parties agree, they smile and NO ONE else knows the sale price! This way, the market is protected and a single deal does not sway or affect the rest of the market's pricing mechanisms. Surely this is a case study for the best Business Schools in the world - financial secrecy in trade. Also, see the woman buying milk with coins neatly laid out on the ground so that the man can count them! Only in India, surely!? This footage is part of the professionall
