Indians in general do not seem to take any special interest in the affairs of the British royal family. But several Indian newspapers and television channels treated the royal wedding with utmost importance (“I will (kiss twice)”, April 30). A huge amount of money was squandered on the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton, even as many other countries of the world, like Japan, struggle with grave misfortunes. A common man like me fails to understand the need for such wastage. There are millions of poor people in the world, a great many of whom could have been fed with the money that was spent on the wedding.
