I have been with rediff for last 4 years reading almost all articles they show here. But off late rediff's standards have come down to that of a PR agency. Posting advertisements other plugs under news column is cheap trick and you are trying to fool all of us readers.
I guess I should leave rediff and never come back. Rediff sucks.

I do agree with u. Its not the only rediff doing such things, whole of the media is involved in marketing now a days. This is become the part of life. We have to live with this.

You could leave (I doubt if you will). It's about how ITC is marketing its product. If you see the ads, they are well made.
You can always chose to buy or not buy. Media always have the right to publish these kind of articles.

If you had read the same article in ET or Business Line... you say it is Corporate gyaan... if it is in Rediff, it is called a PR trick.. Kudos to Rediff for putting varied news coverage.. much better than the TV news channels where the focus is only on movies and cricket
