You can use it in politics (youth politics), election (awareness created by kaizad bhamgarh, read my post on India is socially responsible), bollywood, IPL, Managment studies, education system etc.

Hey rinkesh,
ReplyDeletethe golden figures that u gave are relly excellent...
one can easily relate it with maximum gd topics yaar....
thanks a lot for such a valuable information...
Thanx a lot for the article. Could u please tell me some points for India as an emerging superpower? I am not very sure about it since we still have so much underdeveloped population, corruption and unemployment. I feel that we are only looking at our cities and metros and then judging. But as Gandhiji said, the true development of the country can come about only if the villages are develpoed. What do u think i should say during GD if such a topic arises?
ReplyDeletei ll giv u da details giv me a day
