The art of buying a sari

Bargaining an art about which much has been written about .Arab traders are supposed to get offended if one doesn’t bargain enough. For an Indian woman the experience of buying a sari cannot be complete without the ritual of bargaining. I belong to Surat which is the Mecca of sari trade in India. The textile industry is the heart of all the business in Surat , the diamond industry is also well documented but it probably does not have the same kind of presence in the middle class mind of Indian society as the textile industry does.
