Sony Music India

...Sony Music (India) February 2012. Vivek Paul, Director of Digital Media Initiatives at Sony sat with Shridhar Subramaniam, President, India and Middle East, Sony Music Entertainment, in his Santa Cruz, Mumbai office and mulled over the remarkable changes that the music industry in India had witnessed over the past few years. With the rapid growth in Internet penetration and usage, technology was driving music production, access and consumption. Sales from digital platforms had surpassed sales from traditional physical formats, such as CDs and tapes. With the distribution of digital music in India largely skewed towards the telecom business, music was increasingly being accessed via mobile devices, including smartphones and tablets. Artists were reaching out to consumers directly through many innovative platforms, and live performances were gaining more traction. Independent (“indie”) artist business models were rising in popularity and creating further fragmentation in the market. Overall, the role of the recording company seemed to be diminishing. While some of the leading companies in the music industry were testing the waters in the digital space, new players, including technology companies, were quickly entering the market with various new platforms and services. Distribution, in the form of music streaming services and e-commerce sites, was changing the way music was being bought and consumed. As Head of Digital Media, Paul reflected on the role of Sony Music India, a large...

The God of Small Things

...TEACHING THE GOD OF SMALL THINGS IN WISCONSIN: BACKGROUND AND CONTEXTS INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW Vinay Dharwadker Kerala and India are woven into the fabric of Arundhati Roy’s The God of Small Things. The novel assumes that its reader is familiar with many basic facts about these two places, especially their history and geography, society and culture, economy and politics. Roy grew up in Kerala, where her mother’s family had a home in the village of Aymanam, located on the outskirts of the town of Kottayam, on the other side of the River Minachil. Most of the action of The God of Small Things takes place in a village called “Ayemenem,” set near a river called “Meenachal.” Roy’s fictionalized village and river strongly resemble the real-life Aymanam and Minachil, and her narrative contains numerous references to the actual landscape of south-central Kerala, its people and their common customs, their music and dance, their religions and social organization, and their economic and political activities. The narrative also mixes its fictional elements with factual elements on a larger scale. Some of the novel’s “imaginary” episodes occur in the real town of Kottayam (about 2 miles from Ayemenem/ Aymanam, across the river) and in the historic port-city of Cochin (now Kochi, about 50 miles away to the northwest). The novel’s political discussion frequently blends fictional characters and organizations with real politicians and political parties: Comrade Pillai, for example, is an...

Indians and Americans

...lives in America. From religion to fashion there is a big difference in Native Indians and Americans. They have adapted to a lot of America ways and enjoy their lives here yet some miss their Indian customs. India is acknowledged as the origin of Hinduism and Buddhism which are the third and fourth largest religions in the world. According to the “Handbook of Research on Development and Religion” Edited by Matthew Clarke (Edward Elgar Publishing, 2013). There are differences of Hinduism and four predominant sects, Smarta, Shakteya, Vaishnava, and Shaiva. With around 13 percent of Indians being Muslims it makes India one of the largest Islamic nations in the world. Sikhs and Christians make up a small percentage of the India population, with even a smaller percentage of Jains and Buddhists (Indian Culture, 2016). In contrast, just about every religion known is practiced in the United States of America. Around 83 percent of Americans are identified as Christians according to the ABC poll, unlike the small percentage of Christians in India. Judaism is the second most religions identification and only .6 percent responding to being Muslim. India is almost opposite in comparison with religion in America (American Culture, 2016). Traditional clothing for men in India is the dhoti. It is an unstitched piece of cloth they tie around their waist and legs. Men also wear a kurta, which is a shirt that is loose and worn about knee-length. And for special occasions the men will...

Can India Become a Superpower

...INDIA has a multi-ethnic, multi-religious society living together. India, with its diverse & fascinating history, arts, music, culture, spiritual & social models has become a matter of proud for all of us. Also it can become a superpower in future by working hard in many fields. We all know that India is a developing country, but still to become a developed one or to become a superpower, lot of work has to be done. First of all, our goal of superpower has to be unique and not just what other countries like USA did. We have to redefine what superpower actually means.         A superpower is a developed, self-reliant and a truly independent nation. It is a country with a dominant position in international issues and has the ability to exert its influence and project power on a global scale. The term superpower first applied to the British Empire, the United States and the Soviet Union. Now india is also moving its steps towards it. India can become a superpower being like an elephant that neither eats other animals nor gets eaten by them. Similarly we should neither threaten nor defenceless.          It is known that India is a country that occupies greater part of South Asia. If we talk about area, India ranks as the seventh largest country in the world. Though India is the world's biggest democracy and has a strong political system, yet to become a superpower it is a bit away. We should strive to be a superpower in technology, education and ideas just as we did from the start...
