Know the importance of insurance if you have dependents and have not much assets. Go and buy adequate term insurance and secure your family and then go on to invest and build assets.

Now there is logic in this method. But money is not always maths. Getting nothing back after at the end of the term is not digest-able to most of the Indians and that is why they buy ULIPs.... nothing more nothing less.
