What Is India? What Do They Say?

One of the best things about the internet, apart from the now-closed thirst-quenching site which sounded like Daisybaba and this wonderful blog, is the Urban Dictionary with contributions by wordly wise users across the world.

Ran a search on India on UD and the results offer some interesting insights into what the world thinks of India.

India

A country whose population will be 90% male in a 100 years due to sex-selective infanticide.

The midwife came to the indian household and helped the wife give birth. After finding out the baby was a she, she turned it upside down, gave it a quick jerk, snapped its spinal column and declared it stillborn. The parents were relieved because now they don't have to pay dowry in 15 years time.

I don't hate India I am just horrified by this practice. I don't care if the economy is growing like mad, an all-male country with no females has no future.

Now here's a definition that we're now so familiar with that we can even reel off the numbers in our sleep. Keep going, proud sons of Mother India on the internet.

Save Paper - Save World

This simple advertising stunt is extremely effective in passing across the message as to how the rain forests of Amazon are being depleted by our thoughtless usage.

This is what Saatchi & Saatchi, Denmark had to say:

To make people realize that saving the planet starts with them saving paper, we took a standard paper dispenser and made a simple modification with green foil and the silhouette of South America. This allowed us to prove that the survival of the forest is directly connected to what people consume.

Help thy enemy

We have always thought that competitors in market will do anything to kill each other off. I guess we in India will never be the true capitalists...

Here a couple of example that I came across:

1) www.airtel.com : Expect Airtel's website to open up...

2) Try booking a ticket online at IRCTC i.e. Indian Railways.
