Consider the kirana, the one most feared to be at risk. About 5-6 million of the 8 million FMCG-stocking kiranas are in rural India, and are totally safe, as the new ones can only come into the top 53 cities.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=retailnu.wordpress.com&amp;blog=1749471&amp;post=1989&amp;subd=retailnu&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
