...Rajiv Gandhi, the eldest son of Feroze and Indira Gandhi, was born on August 20, 1944 and the youngest person to become the Prime Minister of India at the age of 40. He was India’s 9th Prime Minister and 3rd among the Gandhi family. He held his position after her mother’s death on October 31, 1984 until he resigned on December 2, 1989 after an election defeat. Though having no relationship to Mahatma Gandhi, his leadership brought substantial influence in India’s external political relationship. And even though his character was questioned in a controversial scandal which was actually served as his political downfall, he remained one of the respected Prime Minister of India. Rajiv Gandhi belonged to one of the famous political family in India. His grandfather, Jawaharlal Nehru, was an Indian leader of independence and subsequently became the first Indian Prime Minister. Rajiv, together with his younger brother Sanjay, was raised in Delhi and Allahabad. He was educated at an exclusive school for boys at the Doon School and at the Welham Boy’s School then later sought education at a university in United Kingdom, University of London, University of Cambridge, and at the Imperial College London, but none of which had he received any degree. He met his wife, Sonia Maino at Cambridge, and though greatly opposed by Maino’s family they got married at India in 1969. He began his career as a professional pilot for an Indian Airline even though her mother was India’s Prime Minister...

...Kuwaiti Kickbacks, India ink, Syrian Scandal, and Mounties and Bank. For sure, all of decisions were made for the company’s profit but, at the same time, the company also suffered too because of the problems inside their decision. All the competitors were benefitted somehow while Airbus was suffering. Firstly, in Kuwaiti Kickbacks, El Fekih (ALAFCO) and Al Mishari (KAC) benefitted through this case, for sure Airbus was benefitted too but only for the first few deals at the beginning. However, Bader Mallah, the chief financial officer, sent people to monitor and provided Ministry of Finance ALAFCO’s orders for the cargo planes. This made them lose whole deal. With the deal from India Ink., Rajiv Gandhi and his Indian Airlines associates and again, Airbus Ind. were benefitted. Rajiv Gandhi got Bribes from Airbus for the deal in 1985. However, Airbus had a crisis when they lost a deal with 43 planes which worth $2 billion. In the Syrian Scandal, Airbus was the only benefitted one who earned $240 million through that and denied the deal between the company and Syrian officials. Syrian Air had big financial lost and people, who were in charge of the case, were fined $268 million and sent to prison for 10 years. Mounties and Banks case had IAL and the Canadian PM Brian Mulroney benefitted. Air Canada suffered. Since the case was pretty complicated because it was related to the prime minister of Canada, the investigation took a long time. Therefore, they need a long time to find...

...The period of time including and following Operation Blue star is considered a dark time in India and black spot in Indian history. It is a time Indian would rather forget, yet still to this day debate about. Was Indihar Gandhi correct in instating operation Blue Star, inflicting damage to the Golden temple, and being responsible for the killing of anywhere from 492 (official reports) to 1500 (estimates run as high as) civilians, which lead to an additional 5,000 Sikh deaths following, due to anti-Sikh riots? Was Indihar Gandhi’s actions justified, and could her problems with the Sikhs have been solved in any other way? These are all question India still debates to this day. We will look at who exactly Indihar Gandhi is, what is operation blue star, why she invoked Operation Blue Star, how did her actions eventually lead to her assassination, India’s Sikh population afterwards, and how Indihar’s actions affected the Gandhi dynasty? On June 3, 1984 Indihar Gandhi gave the executive decision to invoke Operation Blue Star, a military attack on the golden temple in Amritsar, Punjab. The Golden Tempe is considered one of the most sacred and religious places in the world, in what Indihar Gandhi taught was a necessity following a chain of events. Sikhs, involved in the Khalistan movement wanted Punjab to be an independent state, and felt they were being oppressed. The Khalistan movement led under Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale used tactics to express their views and desires in a very...

...A problem of perspective Over the past two centuries the developed world has evolved a single dimensional worldview. Advances in technology and living standards have glossed over and in many places erased, the regional and class differences that characterised the world for previous generations. This is particularly obvious in countries like Australia where the national ethos has an ingrained commitment to egalitarianism. A view compounded by the dominant Christian belief system with its underlying conviction of personal and social equality. Westerners react to India as a paradox, an enigma, an absurdity. India is a complex, multidimensional and truly multicultural society which outside observers with their one dimensional worldview become completely confused. A population of almost one billion and a history of over 4000 years has developed with a belief system that institutionalises social difference and inequality yet underpins the world's largest and most vibrant democracy. The western visitor sees the complexity and confusion, the high rise apartment blocks being built next to the slum but fails to comprehend the rich and important connections between these seemingly irreconcilable establishments. To appreciate India a good starting point is any intersection on any day in the city of Jaipur1. The traffic will come to a halt at a red light and wait. Vying for position are hand carts, cycle rickshaws, auto rickshaws, bullock carts, camel carts and a plethora of buses...

...Nehru’s household in Allahabad, was able to draw close to her. The then Governor of Maharashtra, Dr. Shriprakash warned Nehru, that Indira was having an illicit relation with Feroze Khan. Feroze Khan was then in England and he was quite sympathetic to Indira. Soon enough she changed her religion, became a Muslim woman and married Feroze Khan in a London mosque. Indira Priyadarshini Nehru changed her name to Maimuna Begum. Her mother Kamala Nehru was totally against that marriage. Nehru was not happy as conversion to Muslim will jeopardize her prospect of becoming Prime Minister. So, Nehru asked the young man Feroze Khan to change his surname from Khan to Gandhi. It had nothing to do with change of religion from Islam to Hinduism. It was just a case of a change of name by an affidavit. And so Feroze Khan became Feroze Gandhi, though it is an inconsistent name like Bismillah Sarma. Both changed their names to fool the public of India. When they returned to India, a mock vedic marriage was instituted for public consumption. Thus, Indira and her...

...Virat Kohli set to beat Dhoni, Tendulkar in endorsement earnings Team India's batting sensation, Virat Kohli, has been a huge hit with the youngsters - thanks to his quick rise in the international cricket over the past few years. An eye candy for the domestic and international brands, the Delhi lad is all set to surpass the incumbent Indian skipper MS Dhoni and master blaster Sachin Tendulkar in the endorsement earnings. Team India's vice-captain, who seems to be the most comfortable young gun on screen, has reportedly signed a Rs.10-crore per year deal with German sports goods giant, Adidas. The 24-year-old cricketer will be seen endorsing Adidas' apparel and shoes as per his three-year contract. Sachin Tendulkar was the face of Adidas shoes for quite some time in India but it seems that the master blaster's age is finally catching up on his endorsements. According to the TOI reports, the right-hander has also struck a Rs.6.5 crore a year deal with a popular tyre brand that had Tendulkar and Steve Waugh as its ambassadors. The new deals will help Team India's probable future captain to beat the likes of MS Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar in terms of annual earnings per brand endorsement. With these two deals in his kitty, Kohli is set to take on the big players with an increase in his annual earnings from last year's Rs.40 crore in endorsements. He is currently the face of 13 brands including Pepsi, Toyota and Cinthol deodorants. The Indian skipper MS Dhoni...

With campaigning for the high-profile contest coming to an end at 5pm on Monday, both the BJP and Congress have lined up their arsenal in full force for a fight to finish. While BJP's charge will be led by its PM candidate Narendra Modi, Congress will have Priyanka Gandhi leading from the forefront. While Modi is defying tradition to storm into the constituency of his chief rival, Congress insiders say that even party chief Sonia Gandhi might join her razing army on the front on Monday to give the prospects of her son one last push. The Aam Aadmi Party, too, will have its star campaigners bolstering the campaign of Kumar Vishwas which, of late, has got mired in the tangle of attacks and FIRs. Even BJP top brass in the state was taken unawares when word reached them on Friday evening about Modi's rally right in Amethi. When TOI reached the rally ground on Saturday, top state BJP leaders were found running around to make arrangements.

Attrition leads to loss of key employees who have thorough knowledge of the company and its practices. Appointing new employees in place of old involves cost of recruiting and training them. Experience in a field is very important for better performance. New employees lack this and this might lead to some pitfalls during their work. If there is high attrition, it also results in a negative impact on new employees about the work...

...The first I heard of the 21st Century was about a quarter of century ago when the-then Prime Minister of India Rajiv Gandhi said – "Here I come, the bare foot prime minister marching into the 21st century. I remember asking my dad, what 21st century meant. Like always, he answered me in a way that made me understand what exactly it was that the scion of the Gandhi family meant. Unfortunately, Rajiv Gandi did not make it to the 21st century. I am sure had he been there he would have been amazed to see where Indians have marched (not barefoot I might add!). Many of them, like us, have marched into foreign countries, making a life for ourselves and taking our national pride with us. This essay is being written as a mark of that national pride that still lingers with us. We have witnessed India go from just another developing nation to a force to reckon with in the 21st century. We have watched as India and Indians have come to dictate the policies of major nations. We have seen what was once deemed as a major setback for India’s development – our population – become one of the reason’s for our advancement. As the purchasing power of our populace has grown stronger, so has the market for outside companies who vie with each other to get a fair share of this burgeoning market. This has led to an increase interest into India’s psyche and culture and in turn allowed Indians make their mark internationally with their talent, intelligence, art, engineering and more. It would be no exaggeration...
