2. While buying gold and silver on #Dhanteras might not have been the original tradition, it has been going on for a while now and it has resulted in a state in which Indian women individually possess a sizable amount of all the gold reserves in the world.
3. This tradition alone has helped India to weather global economic recessions better than other cultures and nations. Even a poor woman with barely a roof over her head in India will often fish out some ornament for an emergency.
