Now, in-your-face TV!

Does the Indian youth really believe in these values (or non-values) shown on ‘in-your-face TV’? The ad-guru Alyque Padamsee says: “There is a new trend in advertising with a campaign which flies in the face of tradition, is funky and controversial. It’s like a song with a care-a-damn feel which constantly appeals to young people who today, tomorrow and forever want attitude”. However, sociologists believe that this attitude, where one doesn’t value relationships, is an illusion, where one thinks the appearance is the essence, writes Aradhika Sekhon
