| Geek Girls just
wanna have fun! |
 For
girls, the option of whether to study further
i.e. a degree, will determine not only your
future pay packet, but the subject you choose
will determine the "pay gap" between you and
your male colleague. So choosing wisely at
this stage is crucial. Little wonder that
the Universities and Science Minister David
Willetts spoke only the truth when he said
that state schools frequently advised children
wrongly about exams. But with advice currently
on offer do we have the right choices for
'Geek Girls who just wanna have fun!'?

| Asians are better
at 'Big Society' |
 The
UK Prime Minister, David Cameron, wants Britain
to embrace the concept of 'Big Society' where
members of the public step in to provide services
that have previously been supplied by local
councils, central Government or paid contractors.
Asians are, of course, better at 'Big Society'
than most. This is no idle boast. National
Sewa Day, 21st November 2010 is a great example.

| Britain's
Education Cloud |
 "I
wandered lonely as a cloud that floats on
high o'er vales and hills, when all at once
I saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils",
the lines from William Wordsworth’s poem have
been haunting me lately, although in the context
of an education 'cloud' rather than the literal
one. The need for a British Education Cloud
has never been greater.

| Is
Islamophobia stopping aid to Pakistan? |
 With
nearly a third of country under water, 14
million people displaced, a 1600 death toll
(and rising), Oxfam have called Pakistan's
floods a "mega" disaster. And yet
the Disaster Emergency Committee (DEC) appeal
has raised a paltry £10.5 million after 10
days, despite high-profile TV appeals by Boxer
Amir Khan and actor Art Malik.

| Anil
Ambani's Reliance Group should buy British
television channel ITV
|
 Indian
business mogul Anil Ambani's company Reliance
should buy British television channel ITV.
This would fulfill Ambani's dream to be a
global media baron and deliver Indians in
Britain the presence they have long craved.
The fact that Rupert Murdoch's Sky TV has
been forced by UK regulator Ofcom to divest
part of its 17.9% in ITV leaves the field
clear for Reliance.

| Why
the BBC is right to close Asian Network |
 In
a post that is likely to 'lose me friends
and alienate people'*, I agree that the BBC
should close its digital radio station BBC
Asian Network. The station has been losing
listeners and has cost far too much. The Asian
market is already well served with a commercial
radio and TV stations and print & online
media publishers will also be relieved when
the BBC no longer distorts markets.

| Iconic
Indian Ads: Can India's Ad Industry take on
the world? |
 India's
entertainment industry is likely to create
global opportunities for more than films,
video games and TV shows. Its advertising
industry, drawing upon the iconography of
Bollywood, is also set to take on the world.
The move was brought to light this week when
a twitter trend on the subject became the
2nd most popular topic on the site.

| The
'Asianisation' of British Advertising: Asians
in Adverts |
|
 There
are so many Asian faces in British adverts
that it is hard to believe that Asians are
still an ethnic minority in this country.
But how successful are these portrayals?
Are advertisers really trying to target
this increasingly affluent ethnic community?
Or are they simply latching onto the wave
of Bollywood fever that is still sweeping
the country? Whatever the 'endgame', why
do so many advertisers get it so badly wrong?
