In 2007-08, regional advertising grew 22.7 per cent according to the India Media Exchange (the media specialist of Starcom and Zenith Optimedia combined). National advertising grew 14.6 per cent. Clearly, the regional markets are growing rapidly as television audiences shift from national channels to the local language channels. Mona Jain, India head, strategic investments, India Media Exchange, says: 'May be a bit late, but the Star Network has realised that there is nothing called the Hindi belt or a pan-India coverage. Zee, its nearest competitor, already has a headstart due to its regional channels in Marathi, Bengali, Telugu and Gujarati, among others. These are well-established and tr...

Facts about "Jana Gana Mana" - Just a thought for the National Anthem! How well do you know about it?     I have always wondered who is the "adhinayak" and "bharat bhagya vidhata",    whose praise we are singing. I thought might be Motherland India! Our current National Anthem "Jana Gana Mana" is sung throughout the country.   Did you know the following about our national anthem, I didn't.   To begin with, India's national anthem, Jana Gana Mana Adhinayaka, was written by Rabindranath Tagore in honour of King George V and the Queen of  England when they visited India in 1919.   To honour their visit Pandit Motilal  Nehru had the five stanzas included, which are in praise of the King and  Queen.
