One Aussie Is Selling 'Desi Charpai' For Rs 64K & Indians On Twitter Are Absolutely Furious!
Hindi movies have single handily taken the onus of educating India on what it's like to be a true Hindustani. From having Bajre-Ki-Roti under the tree to the euphoric feeling of homecoming. from Punjab-di-lassi to Gujarat's massive thali; we have seen it all.

That said, we all know how Punjab maneuvered us into loving charpai. If you haven't spent one of your summer vacations chilling with your cousins on this charpai, if you haven't enjoyed desi-songs where the duo dances their way to glory on these khatai or if you have just missed its existence, my friend, let me tell you that you've missed a lot.
So when an Aussie lad thought of selling Indian-Charpai for a whopping 60,000 INR on twitter, Indians just couldn't' take it.
Chai Tea was bad, you thought? Ha! Here comes the Charpoy Cot. (That price makes my head reel). I need to go lie down on my own charpoy cot. pic.twitter.com/Yw2V5ju96R

While Indians are made to feel ashamed of rural lifestyle, many others have started to appreciate & use "Datun", "Dona" & now "Charpoy". pic.twitter.com/w2k4Wk8nCe

If we sit down to make a list of things the world is trying too hard to copy from Indians, it will take us forever.
