'Prostitution' is the act of using physical body for lewd purposes in return for payment. It is a service in any form indulging a body for the shake of profit. One may also refer to it as a 'Barter System' in which there is a exchange for food or clothes. Prostitution was synonyms to the women, but in recent times, men are also involved in providing service to this industry. If we consider 'prostitution' as the part of the service industry, it is more than a $400 million industry. In recent time, it is a burning issue that can we legalize this world's oldest profession in India? If so, then what will be the consequences, weather it will help to stop illegal trafficking and add to taxes or it will have ill effects on the Indian society. I don't want to discuss the social impacts, though I know it won't have, but taking financial aspects into consideration, it will add more to the growing economy like India. If we take it as the part of service industry and people working in it simply as 'sex workers', we will get positive potential out of this industry. It should be taken care of that each process has a class and service rendered should be in legal and hygienic way. Thus if we treat this industry as sophisticated, have a right look towards it and aware that it should have wrong impact on our Indian society, it will create better and positive option for our economy.

www.socialize.com- election campaign
In India, the forthcoming general assembly elections have seen many local politicians follow Obama's footsteps, and the Internet is poised to play a larger role in these elections--to held in five phases on Apr. 16, 23 and 30, as well as May 7 and 13.
With nearly 700 million people eligible to cast their votes, political parties are busy wooing first-time voters and the country's tech-savvy middle class. Indian politicians have turned to YouTube, Facebook, Orkut, podcasts, live chats, Twitter and other Web 2.0 tools, to reach out to the electorate.
Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) octogenarian prime ministerial candidate, L. K. Advani, is reaching out to youths through live chats and his Web site(blog.lkadvani.in). Advani is also on Facebook, Orkut and YouTube, while his colleague and Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi, uses tools such as podcasts, Twitter, Google SMS and widgets.
Supporters have also created groups on social networking sites such as Facebook and Orkut, to rally voters. Ruling party Indian National Congress' youth wing leader, Rahul Gandhi, for instance, currently has over 3,000 supporters on Facebook. Several politicians are also on Twitter, including Congress' S. M. Krishna and BJP's V K Malhotra.
The country's largest opposition party, BJP is undoubtedly the most active on cyberspace, and has banner ads--spouting "Advani for PM" messages--running on a plethora of Web sites.
The Internet, however, provides a way to appeal to the youth. Over half of India's 1.15 billion population is younger than 25 years, and 50 million new voters are estimated to have entered the electorate since 2004. Many first-time voters are likely to be connected via Internet and mobile phones.

India is being heavily wooed by the giants of the internet, with both YouTube and MySpace having just set up dedicated Indian sites.
But both sides have the same audience firmly in their sights - young, internet-savvy Indians. Compared with the West, internet take-up in the subcontinent is not high but capitalists are taking it as a matter of investment. If we take infrastructure for instance, a huge investment was made in this field which it is paying now! YouTube has signed up a string of local media partners to put their content online - from Bollywood producers to Institutes of Technology.
In the meantime, internet users in India may have something of a golden age to look forward to.
Companies are falling over themselves to highlight what they can do for India, not what India can do for them.
All this competition will ensure that home-grown sites keep innovating - while the deep pockets of both YouTube and MySpace will mean more choice for web-surfers.
