Mumbai: Cricket in India is a religion that begets utmost excitement and unifies the whole nation. From a school kid to a retired man, men in blue have millions of ardent fans. The charisma of cricket is such that every victory is celebrated with as much zeal as that for any other festival in India. But one never thought that dark days would return to haunt Indian cricket again. Gone are the days when Indian cricket team brought laurels to the country by winning trophies, particularly post the World Cup. In the recent times, the continuous defeat of Indian team has left the fans in dismay leaving the stadiums empty. The 4-0 clean sweep in England was bad enough given the Indian team‘s lofty reputation. And just when one thought it couldn‘t get any worse, comes another disaster down Under. Eight straight away defeats outside sub-continent. It?s a roller coaster ride for the cricket fans!!

The panel debate will take place on Friday, 17th February,2012 at F2 auditorium, Amity College, Sector-125, Noida.

Mumbai: NewsX has launched a brand new series titled ? The Insiders With Kalyani Shankar? further boosting its programming lineup . ?The Insiders? is a series that provides viewers with an Insider?s perspective on events and people who have shaped the discourse and direction of India. Hosted by ace political commentator, Kalyani Shankar, this series will provide groundbreaking insight into certain events of the past that shaped India and changed the course of our collective histories.

The "Insiders" featured in this series are no ordinary people and have held key positions of power and have been involved in policy and decision making processes.

From Pokhran-II to the 1971 Bangladesh War; from Kargil and the IC-814 hijack to the inception of insurgency in Kashmir; from the road to economic recovery in 1991 to when democracies collided with Mrs. Gandhi taking on the might of Nixon and the USA, the show throws light on all these incidents that shaped our nation?s history.

Commenting on the launch Mr. Jehangir S. Pocha, Co-Promoter, NewsX said : " ?The Insiders re-examines key events that shaped modern India through Kalyani Shankar?s free-wheeling and frank interviews with the key players involved in those events. The show brings new light to these stories and gives the nation a greater understanding of the issues and decisions behind the events that shook the nation. "

Mumbai: For the last few days, people across the nation have been anguished by the traumatised condition of the two year old abandoned and battered baby Falak.

Commenting on the initiative, Mr. Jehangir S. Pocha, Co Promoter NewsX says ?We?ve brought people Falak?s story and now we want to help people help her. It feels great for all of us at NewsX to use the power and outreach of media for good."
