|
 On
7th December 2009, former journalist and political
press secretary Amanda Platell wrote a highly
inflammatory article entitled 'Moody, indecisive
and always trying to behave like a man, why
ladies make truly lousy bosses' published
in UK national newspaper 'The Daily Mail'.

Blog: Parsis have civilization; other Indians
don't. |
 Indians
have culture but not civilization. Culture
is how we entertain ourselves; civilization
is how we entertain others. Culture is our
attitude to beauty and ugliness, to power,
to religion, and to family. It shows in our
music, in what makes us laugh. Civilization
is our attitude to mankind. It's defined as
social development of an advanced stage, but
civilization never actually arrives; it is
only reached for. It assumes there is high
purpose to life, to wealth, to culture.

Blog: Are the Tories really headed for a landslide
victory? |
The media appears to be dominated with the
bad news stories about the Labour party and
UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown in particular.
Even the Iraq enquiry is confirming what many
already believe, that is that we went to war
on the basis of the "dodgy dossier".
'The Sun' newspaper has come out in favour
of the Conservative party, but the Ethnic
Minority Business Group sees a far less clear-cut
picture.

|
 Can
India's high growth continue? No. Last year
India produced goods and services worth $1.2
trillion. This is around Rs50,000 per Indian.
Of this, 54% came from services, 29% from
industry and 17% from agriculture. Services
include trade, transportation, hospitality,
mobile telephony, and software and outsourcing.
Industry means things such as manufacturing,
mining and energy.

excessive number of re-appointments in the

from getting their first public appointment
claims the Hindu Council UK. It has published
a list of re-appointments in the past year
showing that the majority of UK's NDPBs are
