As on 14th July, 1:20 pm(IST), the exchange rate for the US Dollar to INR is 74.64 Indian Rupee. That means that 1 US Dollar is 74.64 Indian Rupee.

Therefore, 50 cents = 0.5 dollar.

Since 1 USD = 74.64 INR, 0.5 USD(50 Cents) is (74.64/2) INR

(74.64/2) INR is 37.31 INR

Therefore Answer to the above question is:- 37.31 INR

India gets its 15 minutes of shame on American television

by Chidanand Rajghatta

WASHINGTON, March 22: Mahatma Gandhi may have dismissed ``Mother India,''

Katherine Mayo's hypercritical book in the 1930s on the sub-continent, as a

``gutter inspector's report.'' But evidently, the drain still stinks.

In what many Indians here found to be a painful but fairly credible depiction

of the situation in modern day India, CBS television's highly acclaimed ``60

minutes'' programme on Sunday took a scathing look at the practice of

untouchability in the country -- a degrading custom that is yet to be

eliminated despite the Government having officially outlawed it.

In 15 searing minutes, CBS cameras captured the shame of India -- the daily

ritual of humiliation that millions of so-called untouchables undergo far away

from the elite, who are in denial.

There was Narayanamma, who cleaned and carried human excreta --

euphemistically called nightsoil -- somewhere in Karnataka despite the

Government having banned the practice; Dalits in Tamil Nadu who are not

allowed to draw water from the well andwho had to remove their footwear each

time they passed ``high caste'' villagers; and the ``lower caste'' farm

labourers of Bihar rising up to challenge the landlords.

Some of the footage was truly disturbing -- and disgusting. In one horrendous

shot, a Dalit woman in Tamil Nadu is shown collecting water from a muddy pool

when she is tripped by a stray pig also wallowing in the same water.

The story returns repeatedly to an unnamed village in Karnataka where women

work to physically clear human excreta. ``If I had some other employment, I

would never do this... I don't ever want my children to do this work,''

Narayanamma cries into the camera.

The story was anchored by Christiane Amanpour, a peripatetic American-Iranian

reporter for CNN who is married to State Department spokesman James Rubin and

who works for occasional stories for CBS under a special contract. CBS 60

minutes is the most watched news programme in the United States and India's 15

minutes of shame would have been seen by some 25 millionviewers on Sunday

evening.

Amanpour mentions the fact that a Dalit has made it to the post of the

President of India (a largely ceremonial post), but nothing can erase the

stark images the CBS cameras capture. The so-called untouchable villagers

falling at the feet of ``high-caste'' landlords; Dalits being served tea

outside tea stalls; and a ``poojari'' making them wait outside a temple to

offer prayers.

``Not even the shadows of the so-called untouchables were supposed to fall on

the upper caste folk,'' Amanpour reports, falling back on one of the most-

related stories of the Indian caste system. And what does the Indian

Government have to say about it? ``They don't want to talk about it,''

Amanpour says at the end of the story.

Expectedly, the CBS piece inflamed many in the Indian community who found it

offensive and patronising. In fact, even before the story was telecast,

several people railed about it on a South Asia internet chat forum run by

Columbia University.

One angry participant arguedthat if US television networks needed to look for

``untouchables'' they could look at the suffering Iraqis or their own Black

population. Another wellknown academic hoped that Amanpour would report on the

growth of the Bahujan Samaj Party (she did not) and Dalits who made it to

leadership positions ``to make it a more balanced party.''

On the other side there were those who argued that CBS had every right to

cover the story the way it did, just as the Indian press was free to cover

race relations in America. ``The programme made the viewer more than

uncomfortable. It made us cringe with shame...Amanpour and CBS did a good job

of covering the `nonsense' that needs to be beaten to death a thousand more

the public water taps and are condemned to live in the outer fringes of

society.''

India is one of the world's leading producers of tea. The tea produced in India is among the finest in the world owing to strong geographical indications, heavy investments in tea processing units, continuous innovation, augmented product mix and strategic market expansion. The main growing regions lie in Northeast India, including Assam, the Darjeeling district and the Dooars region of North Bengal, and in the Nilgiris in South India.

India is a country with about 30 states within. old India as the british gave the name. before the british it was called Hindustan. Hindustan included India,Pakistan and Bangladesh. the british divide and conqour, as they did in Hindustan. Hindu's and Muslim's were divided by the britishers and after 200yrs there independence came with Gondi in the forfront, could not come together as one nation under god like the U.S. the country was run by a Muslim minority before the british came some 250 years ago. the Muslim minority wanted to rule again. this was not possible so they divided Hindustan into three parts. India later helped Bangladesh win its independence from Pakistan. India is much like the U.S. in that it gives there people the freedom of religion. Hindu's, Muslim's and Christians are working together in India and hold gov't posts. Hence India is secular from Hindustan.

The Indian Ocean is the nearest ocean to India. Really it is, no kidding.

Yes India does give aid to poor countries as well as receives money from countries such as UK etc.

There is actually no such language as "Indian". There are more than 450 different languages spoken in India. If you are talking about Native American languages, there are more than 700.

If you would like a translation, you would need to specify which Indian language you are talking about.

Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi was the Prime Minister of the Republic of India for three consecutive terms from 1966 to 1977 and for a fourth term from 1980 until her assassination in 1984, a total of fifteen years. She was India's first and to date, the only female prime minister. She does not have any relation to the famous Mahatma Gandhi.

The laws of India are made by many people. Although the prime minister has the final say as to yes or no, the Parliament and Legislatures of various states bring up the idea of that law in the first place.

The soul of India lives in its villages", declared M. K. Gandhi, at the beginning of 20th century. According to the 2011 census of India, 68.84% of Indians (around 833.1 million people) live in 640,867 different villages. The size of these villages varies considerably. 236,004 Indian villages have a population of fewer than 500, while 3,976 villages have a population of 10,000+. Most of the villages have their own temple, mosque, or church, depending on the local religious following.

The Best is Alto as per the mileage and handling, but it looks are not up to the mark...And coming to Santro Xing its a real car with the dashing looks and magnificent performance, Santro is a tall boy - Excellent handling best road grip, best mileage..Even though Alto gives more mileage than santro finally every thing counts...And coming back to rest of the entry segnment cars in India like palio,spark,800,indica geta etc. Even though spark is much cheaper to that of santro, its an absolute waste option as its an facelift version of Daewoo Matiz. Nothing can compete with Matiz, but its it fate that its a flop model..Spark is of the same sort, it has cheap engine, cheap body, cheap plastic and entirely an utter waste model. Matiz is far far far better than spark. And next palio, gets, swift are costlier and gives optimum mileage. And indica zeta is also a best option to choose from, but diesel versions are much better. So, the bottomline is that, if you are talking about the cheap and best pertrol car in India, then it had to be the santro....Alto lacks the dashing looks but its an excelent car running on 800cc. Older 800 are much better than alto in its look. And Zens are even much better. But later on the new Zens after 2003 and now the Zen Estilo had ruled out the name and fame of Zen. Over all Santro is perfect in its looks, performance and maintaince. And next comes alto, Indiaca..

And if there is a point that, may be afew grand more but the best would be Swift.

India has different religions like Hindu, Islam, Sikh and Christian. Accordingly the GOD is different. In total a layman in India do worship GOD of the community which is dominant region wise, THAT's Great!
