‘Keep West aSide’!

Seems the king of discounts is also in the mood of some fun these days. Bundled in three installments, Kishore Biyani-promoted Big Bazaar has unleashed some very suggestive print ads. One of them reads “Shoppers! Stop. Make a smart choice! Sarees Rs...”, while the other two urge the reader to ‘Change their Lifestyle’ and ‘Keep West aSide’!

A little while before this controversy engaged India, a judge of the Allahabad High Court in UP delivered a stunning verdict that basically said that Muslims are not a minority community.
