"The fact that we can be so confident without owning an inch of the research that brought that ad alive is one of the key reasons why none of the Indian universities featured in the top 200 universities of the world in the recent survey (nor that we should confide in the ranking business) or that our recent submission ‘Barfi’ will not (should not) make it even to the short list of the Oscars."

Seriously, Priyanka Chopra does absolutely "nothing" in the entire ad, and only struts around while everyone's looking at her. What's wrong with that? When I look at the ad from a purely objective point of view, I see nothing wrong.

The advert says something, not about 'India', it says something about, the 'upwardly mobile, metro centric, youth'. I am sure, with more activism, say a PIL (or persuasion), Indian media, can start 'self censorship' and possibly save the innocence of its children. In my opinion, a small circle at the bottom left corner of the screen, should show the rating of the content U/PG/16/18. This should be applicable to web content also. ISRO, regularly provides genuine pride to Indians by its consistent delivery of path braking technology. e.g. recently 100 trips of PSLV, India's heaviest satellite, and next year an air navigation system for airports in India.
