Oh well, use of plastic bag should be strictly avoided if you are an ardent shopper. Most of the branded stores avoid using them as plastic bag is totally not allowed here from now on. I read many articles on plastic related stuff and thought that "Saying NO to Plastic" should be the first thing that a shopper should do. Because, shopping is quite fun and all, but we dont want to hurt other beings with the litter we get out of shopping now, do we ?
It is said that the ancient carry bag while shopping was a cloth bag or jute bag. When plastic was invented, it was considered as an "Invention of the Millenium" because of it's cost of production, light
weight, strength, easy process of manufacture, and availability.There is nothing wrong with plastic as a material. Man has simply not put the plastic to the right use/ or using it without taking proper care of other related norms of usage.
However, many stores are going for eco-friendly or recyclable plastic,as they call it, which is much more safer and might be legal if it has a recyclable stamp on it.

Use of Plastic in India is illegal. The indiscriminate use of plastic bags poses huge threat to the environment and poses serious health hazards for life on the earth.
So the next time you go shopping, be sure to carry your own cloth bag or request for one. Do not go around carrying Plastic shopping bags even if they are fancy, cause you might be fined for goin around that way ! :P
Have a safe shopping ! ;)
