How are we supposed to react to Sun’s “undercover” operations executed on one Kkaran Bahree (sure there isn’t that usual often deliberate misspell?)? Hang our heads down in Shame? Yell International conspiracy? Or ask our desi counterparts Tehelka to take it up as an A+ emulative case study?
What is The Sun and its ilk trying to prove? Call centers in India aren’t safe for confiding Britons? Fair enough… except tangible theft executed by ancestors of Oliver Harvey & Co, hadn’t had any The Surya to record & report…. but history is for historians these days…so be it.
This ain’t any supporting document for Bahree…however that’s pronounced or whoever he is…But for heaven’s sake, how does the prick’s ex-public school credentials come into the picture? Is this passing judgment on public school graduates in India? Should we extol the effort in attaining this valuable data given to our education watchers & administrators? Does Harvey & Co have plans to extend their research to public schools in Britain and their brothers in arms in Northern America? My experience with public school goers in that region says that this just might yield results that might be a trifle uncomfortable for Harvey, Craig et al to gulp.
And amigos… the fella’s virginity? Is this some kind of creating the groundwork for a brand new parameter in competency mapping for employees of corporate houses? HR consultants take note. What is The Sun suggesting: hiring henceforth those with THE experience… Validated in varied versions in Britain especially in media and sport bodies? Adherence to the confidentiality clause and virginity…excellent! This investigation shall surely make its readers take The Sun more seriously than ever before…. investigative journalism of the highest order.
And finally, his Brahmin credentials…how are we supposed to interpret that…a guideline for lawmakers in India- a validation of our social justice system a la Mandal by our British brethren? Should not this research be commended? Should we not nominate Messrs Sun to Halls of Fame for fostering the cause of internationalism?
By the way when exactly did national newspapers in Mother India start running syndicated columns of British tabloids (sic) on its first page….
