Lord Maculey's speech about India

Image
This is the Lord Macaulay’s speech in the British Parliament on 2nd February 1835 about India Proud to be an Indian.......................................... "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 caliber, 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."

Target rating points (TRPs) quantify the gross rating points achieved by an advertisement or campaign among targeted individuals within a larger population. TRPs = Reach among target audience (%) x Average frequency (Thanks to Wikipedia) If the TRP rating is high then the number of people watching the channel is high so if you flash an advertisement it will reach more people so TV channel having more TRP will cost more cash fo...

People of India had a very much attachment over media . learn more about TRP here Most people of India have the habit of watching TV and reading news paper at least weakly magazines . You might have studied of the way media played a big role in chasing British from Indian soil, many freedom fighters reached people through their powerful writings especially Bharathiyar etc So media played a major role in creating a independent India..... But now the holy media is converted into a commercial market where the war of TRP is playing the vital role. learn more about TRP here Winning in the race of TRP is the only motto of channels and hence they are hunger for flash news everyday and my their luck they are getting a sensational news everyday at least once every two days.
