WILL INDIA STILL REMAIN A DEVELOPING NATION

There is criticism of the use of the term ‘developing country’.[citation needed] The term implies inferiority of a 'developing country' compared to a 'developed country', which many countries dislike.[citation needed] It assumes a desire to ‘develop’ along the traditional 'Western' model of economic development which a few countries, such as Cuba, have chosen not to follow.[citation needed]
The term 'developing' implies mobility and does not acknowledge that development may be in decline or static in some countries, particularly in southern African states worst affected by HIV/AIDS. In such cases, the term developing country may be considered a euphemism. The term implies homogeneity between such countries, which vary widely. The term also implies homogeneity within such countries when wealth (and health) of the most and least affluent groups varies widely.[citation needed]
In general[citation needed], development entails a modern infrastructure (both physical and institutional), and a move away from low value added sectors such as agriculture and natural resource extraction. Developed countries, in comparison, usually have economic systems based on continuous, self-sustaining economic growth in the tertiary sector of the economy and quaternary sector of the economy and high material standards of living. However, there are notable exceptions, as some countries considered developed have a significant component of primary industries in their national economies, e.g. Norway, Canada, Australia. The USA and Western Europe have a very important agricultural sector, and are major players in international agricultural markets. Also, natural resource extraction can be a very profitable industry (high value added) e.g. oil extraction.

TOMATINO FEST IN HYDERABAD-FRIENDSHIP DAY SPECIAL

After the film Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara, a group of Hyderabadis have organised their own version of the Tomatina Festival which is popular in Spain.

It is being called the Tomatino Festival instead of Tomatina Festival.

A first in Hyderabad, the organisers hope it will become an iconic event. “People in Hyderabad are always looking for unique things to do and this is a perfect opportunity for them to do so,” says Puneet Arora, one of the organisers and excited attendees.

A huge amount of 15 tonnes of tomatos have been ordered from neighbouring states and districts for the event. One would expect people would mind the spectacular waste of tomatoes, but nobody seems to mind at all. In fact, most people are quite excited about the event.

“I originally wanted to use Spanish tomatoes, but they are Rs 65 per kg. So now we are just using local tomatoes,” says chief organiser Bisket Srikanth.

Tomatoes are being sourced from Chittoor, Bangalore as well as neighbouring districts of Hyderabad. The most obvious question that comes to mind for any layman is the quantity of tomatoes that will be wasted at an event like this.

Bisket says, “Even when we buy for household consumption, the shelf life of tomatoes is not long so we throw them into the garbage. We did have people saying why are you wasting food, but the flipside is, we are using it for fun.”

Two dumpsters filled with tomatoes have already been set aside for the festivities. Participants at the Tomatino festival are also encouraged to get their own tomatoes to add to the fun. College-goers are really excited by the festival.

“Not all of us can go to Spain to take part in the festival. This is the closest we can go to taking part in something like this,” says Sayuktha M., a second-year media studies student.

Since most of the registrations have come from students, the entry fee for them has been reduced to Rs 2,000. The regular fees for couples being Rs 3,500.

“I don’t mind spending that much because it will be a unique experience and that’s the amount you end up spending on a nightout,” says Akshay Babu, a second-year engineering student. With most young people in the city looking forward to the event as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, they don’t seem to mind the waste.

The Da Vinci Code is a 2003 mystery-detective novel written by Dan Brown. It follows symbologist Robert Langdon and Sophie Neveu as they investigate a murder in Paris's Louvre Museum and discover a battle between the Priory of Sion and Opus Dei over the possibility of Jesus having been married to Mary Magdalene. The title of the novel refers to, among other things, the fact that the murder victim is found in the Grand Gallery of the Louvre, naked and posed like Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawing, the Vitruvian Man, with a cryptic message written beside his body and a pentacle drawn on his chest in his own blood.
The novel is part of the exploration of alternative religious history, whose central plot point is that the Merovingian kings of France were descendants from the bloodline of Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene, ideas derived from Clive Prince's The Templar Revelation and books by Margaret Starbird. Chapter 60 of the book also references another book, The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail though Dan Brown has stated that this was not used as research material.
The book has provoked a popular interest in speculation concerning the Holy Grail legend and Magdalene's role in the history of Christianity. The book has been extensively denounced by many Christian denominations as an attack on the Roman Catholic Church. It has also been consistently criticized for its historical and scientific inaccuracies. The novel nonetheless became a worldwide bestseller that sold 80 million copies as of 2009[1] and has been translated into 44 languages. This makes it, as of 2010, the best selling English language novel of the 21st century and the second biggest selling novel of the 21st century in any language. Combining the detective, thriller, and conspiracy fiction genres, it is Brown's second novel to include the character Robert Langdon, the first being his 2000 novel Angels & Demons. In November 2004, Random House published a Special Illustrated Edition with 160 illustrations. In 2006, a film adaptation was released by Sony's Columbia Pictures.
The book has been translated into over 40 languages, and adapted into a 2006 film of the same name.
