New Delhi, Sep 05: What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of India?
When we speak about a nation, certain images come to our mind immediately. We connect each country with something in particular and the nation itself becomes a brand for the same.
When you say India, one can connect it with many things. A land of snake charmers, magicians, rope climbers, slums and poverty is not what anyone should be associating India with, as had unfortunately been the imagery created for India a few decades ago. Thankfully, this has come to pass.
