Show you an India like never before
Well that’s the tag line for the new train launched by the Indian Railway minster, Mamata Banarjee. Well it’s not new to launch a new train or market it, but the reason why it is in the headlines is it shows the capital of India, New Delhi in Pakistan! and Kolkata in the Bay of Bengal. Well this could be very well be a one off mistake but it’s not so.
Both Indian and Pakistan governments have been red faced in the last couple of months for errors in ad posted in the print media. Another such goof up happened yesterday when Pakistan Police put up an ad in the newspapers with the Indian Panjab Police logo on it.
Again, not so long back India had another goof up with Pakistan Air Force chief along side Indian leaders like the Prime Minister.
Thing to note here is that all these ads have been by the government of respective countries and were for the public viewing. 3 such ads by the respective governments in the last 2 months! Guess both these countries need a new centralized PR and Marketing team to make sure these are not repeated.
For few years my roots and boots were continents apart, now they both are together.
