GANDHI - The Nation’s Father?

(This article does intend to hurt people’s sentiment (if possible) and opposes the view of many)                                GANDHI - The Nation’s Father? Our country has always held Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi as the greatest human being ever to take birth. He is the considered to be the one who gave our nation freedom from the British rule.

Religion attempted to answer these questions-and they did it in their own ways. And believe me, some of them are just ridicul...

Almost 60% of the households in India today has a DTH or cable TV service. In such a scenario, TV commercials are bound to affect all its viewers. Most commercials are targeted at a specific audience-some are for all. These advertisements try to showcase their products in the most desirable ways possible-and to do this, they resort to ways which may not always be ethically sound. For instance, mutual fund brokers may advertise that they will ensure 'X' % of their returns-these numbers are always made to look attractive- but there's always terms and conditions which changes the whole meaning of the AD(those little starts). People, often their , fall for this kind of lucrative but highly deceptive offers. Some commercials are targeted f...
