It is really matter of great concern that Mainstream Media has been on a toss post the shocking nexus of Corporate , Media & Lobbyists, more importantly, trying to dictate in world’s largest Democracy ( India) of its crucial cabinet formation to please the biggies. The year 2010 was a milestone year as far as development & bi-lateral ties are concerned. India’s GDP is also on a constant high. Stock Markets are showing great resilience while political dramas are reluctant to depart. It indeed is a tragedy that Indians have a short memory.
