Indian companies were formerly privately owned hodgepodges put together, without economic rhyme or reason, over the years. The new boys have turned their enterprises into stock companies to gain additional capital and are carefully tailoring operations so that they complement one another...
Lucknow's Ved Ratan Mohan, 36, for instance, is India's biggest distiller.

Shock Corridor is the Marat/Sade of film, a moody, almost choreographed, nightmare...

The body of his book recites in grisly detail and with respectable accuracy the martyrology of a mournful century in which as many as 84 Englishmen in a single year were burned as "filthye Hereticks...
