While weddings and festivals act as important drivers of jewellery demand, our rich cultural heritage and historic status as a major global force in world commerce underpins this strong socio-economic relationship with gold,\u201d said the regional CEO of India, World Gold Council, Somasundaram PR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The statement that Indians love gold has now officially turned into reality.
