...Delhi in recent weeks, Hindu nationalists have smashed cases of Pepsi-Cola and disfigured billboards for the soft drink, all the while chanting "Pepsi go home!" Not to be outdone, a socialist party has for more than a year held daily rallies outside Parliament against both Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Protesters have demonstrated inside as well: opposition lawmakers stormed out of Parliament last month to challenge a new agreement to share programming between the government-owned television network...
