US Taxpayers funding a Reality Show in India pumping in millions

Last updated on: March 5, 2013 at 9:32 pm By Desh Kapoor

In a time when broad spending cuts are jeopardizing schools and airports in the US, one finds a rather interesting and creative or bizarre scenario. A US Government program is financing a “Reality Show” in India! In India, one of the most-talked-about television programs is the reality show “Let’s Design.” Aspiring designers create fashionable outfits using cotton, and this year India’s leading fashion house will showcase the winner’s clothing in its store; the winner will also be profiled in the...

Last updated on: March 5, 2013 at 9:21 pm By Desh Kapoor

If you have grown up in India in the last 40 years, the chances are that one of your favorite snacks is the Parle-G. But the prices of Parle-G have remained pretty stable all these years. It is cheap and still has the same taste as it had when I was 5 years old. It was my favorite then.. its my favorite now. Here is now it has maintained its pricing so low.

Last updated on: March 5, 2013 at 9:02 pm By Desh Kapoor

Not only have the Indian companies been adept at cheating the tax payers along with their brothers – the politicians, but they have taught the foreign companies to also learn some neat tricks. It now seems Cadbury’s was avoiding taxes by showing a factory that wasn’t! Cadbury Plc, now part of Mondelez International Inc (NasdaqGS: MDLZ – news) , used a nonexistent factory in India to avoid about $46 million (30.4 million pounds) in taxes, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing...

80% of India’s 40,000 million tons of UNTREATED Sewage flows into the rivers DAILY!

Last updated on: March 5, 2013 at 8:49 pm By Desh Kapoor

India’s rivers are a mess. They have become sewages for most of their stretch now. It is not only the water IN the river, but the water that seeps into the ground that is even more dangerous. This seepage will ensure the death of not just this generation but coming many generations! Eighty percent of sewage in India is untreated and flows directly into the nation’s rivers, polluting the main sources of drinking water, a study by an environment watchdog... Read more

India’s media market, specifically the TV is increasing at a rapid pace. After China, it is the largest market. And it will keep at it. With TV sets in 167 million households (second only to China) and a government plan in place to increase the number of internet users from 94 million (out of a population of 1.2 billion) in 2011 to 175 million by 2017 and 600 million by 2020, the prospects for growth are enormous.

Days of Shias are numbered; as the “Greatest Believer” prepares to win the end game!

Last updated on: March 5, 2013 at 1:18 pm By Desh Kapoor

Shias in Pakistan are in trouble. No not just because of the deadly bomb attacks. But because they have the ignorance to say that those who do such bombs attacks “aren’t Muslims”. When it is too late, and the sword has just been thrust into their hearts, someone will break a news – that “Shias are Kafirs, NOT Muslims“. It is a rather strange situation, isn’t it. You are defenders of a faith, that you don’t even “represent” yourself. A... Read more

Myths, facts and Schizophrenic, Hallucinating, and Hypocritical anti-Modi “Activists”

Last updated on: March 5, 2013 at 10:23 am By Desh Kapoor

Steven Wilkinson of the Duke University has authored a detailed paper on Violence and Riots in India. The raw data has been published in the paper titled: Varshney-Wilkinson Dataset on Hindu-Muslim Violence in India, 1950-1995, Version 2.

During Indira Gandhi’s rule (1966 through to 1977 and then 1980 through to 1984) 337 riots in 15 states have been recorded. And, this... Read more

The Indian wildcard – growth vs rage for inferno: The growing youth population

Last updated on: March 5, 2013 at 6:49 am By Desh Kapoor

India’s growth rate of GDP has faltered to just around 5% in the last year or so. It was hovering at 8-9%, which though far less than China’s for most of last 25 years, but still substantial for an increase in jobs and prosperity for many. What people are losing sight of is that in the coming decades, not only will India need to increase the growth of the economy, but also its education infrastructure.
