Ananda’s quote is interesting….but I’m not sure how much weight we can put on Lord Macaulay’s quote? i’d like additional insights for this period from other sources..
I’d rather not give the British so much credit. I think we should take most of the credit for ourselves )
as an example..we used to practice Sati around this time….now what kind of a society is that ?? what about untouchability? etc etc.
I don’t know why India is the way it is..but it is a collection of a billion individual conciousness..each is a creator making its own choices…we need to make our own..one moment at a time..

Lord Macaulay said the following about India in 1835 in British Parliament.

“I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation.”

Comment on Press Conferences – Useful? by bhatian

Hi Dennis, I like your argument behind personalized approach with the media, but let’s not forget that majority of clients expect new releases in less than 24 hours which does not give us the liberty to have a one-on-one approach. Not every product or service requires press release, hence this is where Total Communication comes in effect whereby which a good strategic approach is needed when launching a new product or service.

Maybe to come to terms with your article, I suggest a constant dialogue between client and media which can result effective results when needed the most. I hope I am clear, but I like your thought.
