Is Black Friday celebrated in India? Nope. Does Black Friday have any religious significance? Nope. Do we really care since we are getting some good deals? Nope.
While Back Friday is pretty much an unknown day for most in India, it is a pretty big thing over in the west, which sees people literally falling over each other just to get the best possible deals. Seriously, google those videos, its CRAZY! But, while Amazon and Flipkart haven’t introduced Black Friday in India (not yet anyway), gamers can get in on the action and pick up some pretty great deals.
