विक्रीयन्ते न घण्टाभिः
(Can't be Sold with False Pretences)
When cows are to be sold after they cease yielding milk, you cannot claim high price by tying a big bell round its neck. People want milk, not the sound of a bell. They are not impressed.
People believe in show and get duped. All that glitters is not gold is an English equivalent.
Tennaali Raama sold a monkey for a fabulous price by putting it on an elephant and telling the price of monkey is Rs. 10,000 and elephant Rs one only!
This is similar to American grants that come with strings attached. For over 50 years, Pakistan's dignity has suffered by yielding to USA grants.
