Retail investors in Capital Market

The share of retail investors in Indian Capital market has been pretty low and every now and then there are some reports that this share should be enhanced.But the fact remains that 95% if not more than the population may not be aware of the very existence of the share market and who ever is there by any chance, they may not be a happy lot as their hard earned savings would have entered the drainage for want of adequate knowledge or would have been trapped by smart marketing people engaged by brokers and bankers.
