Nissan’s latest ‘ultra-small’ idea for India needs a massive radical re-thinking! It’s retreat time..
.
When the world sprung up at the announcement of the $2440 (Rs.100,000) car from Tata Motors, many also voiced their opinion on the non-viability of the same... but Tata moved on. And for those who glared hard at the Indian car-maker for its audacity, here’s a chance to repeat the exercise. But this time, it’s the Japanese Nissan with a $3000 car concept for India! Indeed today, the sight of a four-member Indian family on a two-wheeler – their family vehicle – is no rare sight.

hide its failure to contain militancy with an increase in the number of battalions for ITBP, SSB and CRPF in addition to a plethora of India Reserve Battalions, the needs of the hour are a vibrant intelligence gathering mechanism, and of course, higher salary. It is an irony that even when the extent of risk for a paramilitary personnel is in no way less than that of an army personnel, when it comes to compensation, it is still much less. At a time when terrorism is bent on destroying India’s social fabric, the ones who guard us oft en go unnoticed. Well, not every mob battle is a Kargil, eh!
continue with the mayhem in Kashmir, given the near huge deployment of CRPF, BSF and army, it is paying back the defeat of 1971 by making Bangladesh its new pawn. In the recent blasts in Malegaon and in Mecca Masjid in Hyderabad, there has been clear evidence of the involvement of the Bangladesh based radical Islamic group HUJI. In the same league, there is enough evidence to believe that Naxalites and ULFA, who otherwise are diagrammatically opposite the Islamic ISI in terms of ideology, are getting much monetary and technical support from across the border.So what’s the solution for India to use? In reality, none but hyping up the fact that India is militarily far mightier than Pakistan. And that is because till date, the mentality of successive governments of Pakistan has bordered on being inanely childish, with diplomatic meetings being radical rants than intellectual discussions! And to such herds, it is not ‘tire’ diplomacy that works, but ‘fire’ diplomacy. And that is how India has to earn peace.. through fear, and not through love!
giant proposes to enter the Turkish banking sector by investing $2.67 billion in cash to acquire Oyak Bank. It was also planned that the financial bigwig would invest swiftly for extending its footprint in terms of market share by opening more branches, improving marketing and escalating internet banking. The Dutch banking group while continuing to focus on its core strengths of pension and emerging markets, had till now opposed large acquisitions. Last year’s ABN Amro fantasy, a Dutch banking rival now in the middle of a takeover, changed all that though.
are major retailers in the United States – for taking a stand against cruelty, and I predict that others will follow as they learn more about the suffering caused by India’s leather trade. During PETA’s investigations, they have seen animals transported in suffocating conditions: Fifteen to 20 cows, or more, are crammed into trucks meant to hold only five or six. Many animals die en route. Animals who are too sick or injured to walk are dragged and beaten. At municipal slaughterhouses, animals are slaughtered in full view of each other, which is illegal, and cows look helplessly on as their companions slowly bleed to death. Unless the industry takes immediate steps to reduce this suffering, I’m sure that other retailers and designers – as well as caring consumers around the world – will also stop buying leather from India. We have so many other choices these days. There was a time when animal abuse in the skin trade, and other industries for that matter, went unchallenged, but more and more people are willing to take a stand and boycott cruelly produced products.
