  • Trends in Celebrity Brand Endorsements on Indian Television
    International Journal of Marketing, Financial Services & Management Research Vol.2, No. 1, January 2013, ISSN 2277- 3622 Online available at www.indianresearchjournals.com TRENDS IN CELEBRITY BRAND ENDORSEMENTS ON INDIAN TELEVISION DR. SUSHIL KUMAR RAI*; ASHISH KUMAR SHARMA** * Assistant Professor, Department of Commerce, Faculty of Arts, Science & Commerce, Mody Institute of Technology & Science, Lakshmangarh, Distt. – SIKAR (Rajasthan) INDIA ** Assistant Professor, Department of Commerce, Faculty of Arts, Science & Commerce, Mody Institute of Technology & Science, Lakshmangarh, Distt. – SIKAR (Rajasthan) INDIA __________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT There has been a tremendous growth in the impact of Television (TV) as a source of revenue for advertisers around the world. As shown by various recent reports, TV has emerged as one of the most effective media for popularising brands owing to its wide reach. Purchasing power of people in most countries including India is moving in an upward direction and this trend is expected to continue in the next few years. Both men and women are no longer averse to buying branded products and services endorsed by well-known celebrities and advertised through TV. The TV is no longer an idiot-box, and, with its „audio-visual‟ feature, is enabling the aam aadmi (common man) to peep into the glamorous world of celebrities. Living a seemingly luxurious life as that of a celebrity is everybody‟s hidden desire, and by adopting the same product/service as endorsed by one‟s favourite celebrity, the consumers „feel‟ like being in the same league as the celebrity. It is but obvious that marketing firms are aware of this inherent desire of people, and so, more and more Indian firms are competing to showcase their celebrity-endorsed brands on TV.

  • Animals in the Public Debate: Welfare, Rights, and Conservationism in India
    religions Article Animals in the Public Debate: Welfare, Rights, and Conservationism in India Daniela Berti National Centre for Scientific Research, 75016 Paris, France; [email protected] Received: 16 June 2019; Accepted: 5 August 2019; Published: 13 August 2019 Abstract: This paper proposes a survey of the many ways in which people look at and deal with animals in contemporary India. On the basis of ethnographic research and of multiple written sources (judgments, newspapers, websites, legal files, activist pamphlets, etc.), I present some of the actors involved in the animal debate—animal activists, environmental lawyers, judges, and hunter-conservationists—who adopt different, though sometimes interconnected, approaches to animals. Some of them look at animals as victims that need to be rescued and treated in the field, others fight for animals in Parliament or in Court so that they can be entitled to certain rights, others are concerned with the issue of species survival, where the interest of the group prevails on the protection of individual animals. In the context of a predominantly secularist background of the people engaged in such debates, I also examine the role that religion may, in certain cases, play for some of them: whether as a way of constructing a Hindu or Buddhist cultural or political identity, or as a strategic argument in a legal battle in order to obtain public attention. Lastly, I raise the question of the role played by animals themselves in these different situations—as intellectual principles to be fought for (or to be voiced) in their absence, or as real individuals to interact with and whose encounter may produce different kinds of sometimes conflicting emotions.

In our Eminent Women Series , which is our Learning Platform , we met with Dr Sunitha Krishnan, activist for trafficked women who has shaken our collective conscience.
