Beware with online shops like flipkart and its rigged reviews.

Apart from online shopping being eco-friendly and a whole lot beneficial it has some cons too. literally!!!. Today I was checking out some organic soaps and accidentally noticed a strange thing. Some soaps from some company called soulflower are all rated 5 stars and mostly by some users repeatedly on the same day. Well if it was amazon then i would have thought for a second and felt that, well may be the promoters of this product are trying to con buyers with rigged reviews  by writing review about their own product but it is flipkart where not anyone can create an account and sell like ebay, amazon etc., but you create an account to buy. Flipakart is its own seller where it partners with vendors to sell products thus it becomes equally responsible for what it sells.
It's about the reviewer named shilpa bindhish

probably another hired reviewer who has no other reviews but for this company's soaps and that too all on the same day. I wonder how one can use 6-7 soaps a day from the same company at the same time and write the reviews for them at the same time and has no reviews about any other products of any other brand.






Of course, i will never buy any products from that soulflower company which i never heard of anyway but what bothers is how can they get away with it? how could the a no.1 online shop in india let them get away with it? unless there is a close nexus between them or flipkart is trying to tell us that they are not that sophisticated to check the rigged user reviews....lol.
When I complained about it to flipkart with a review this is what they had to say apart from removing my review.

stackexchange: Why do many Hindus eat meat and fish? Eating meat and fish directly violates the principle of Ahimsa

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. The meaning of ahimsa today unfortunately has been equated to non violence due to the lack of equivalent word in english. Just like atma is not sould, ahimsa is not non violence. It is a state of being. Meta is discouraged and not forbidden in hinduism. Today unfortunately meat has been associated with health and fitness. Let us have a look at the animals in the jungle. Elephant - biggest animal, most powerful animal, heaviest animal Rhino, hippopotamus, wild buffalo - big, powerful, heavy deer - fastest animal giraffe, camel - tallest animal tortoise - lenghty life horse - speed, vigor donkey - most hardworking Many of these vegetarian animals (elephant, rhino, hippopotamus, wild ox, wild bull) can easily defeat any tiger, lion. In fact no lion or tiger ever dare to do a one on one with any of them. You will notice

stackexchange: Are shudras and women not allowed to chant Aum i.e Pranava?

since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. Chanting and reading are different. Vedic Chanting has two parts - Tone and Recitation (Patha). It further has four different tones - Udatta, Anudaatta, Svarita and Deergha Svarita. Pathas are the styles of hymnal recitation. So unless your are are well skilled in these and your pronouncination, enunciation is accurate, you are not supposed to chant. Chanting the same mantras in different way produces different effects, different vibrations. Many a times a slight difference in spacing, intonation, pronounciation, enunciation produces different meanings. So unless you are classically trained to chant these, one shall avoid it but can read them with sound without making a sound, silently. Ex: Many in north india swap va & ba. Ravindranath tagore becomes rabindranath tagore. Many in north india also swap ra & da

stackexchange: What does the demon kali staying in gold mean?

 since stackexchange is becoming like reddit and wikipedia where unknown , behind the mask moderators run these sites like dictatorship, I have decided to add answers here. I think you are taking it in the wrong direction. Many of hindu texts have sub layered meanings.So the parikshit permits him to stay only in places where there is prostituion gold (riches, display of riches) Alcohol (intoxicants which will affect your moral judgement) Gambling As you might have already figured out from the story, kali is non physical in nature and omnipresent. He can not only be present in many places at once but also many kalpas at once. So for easier understanding, think of him as the biggest influencer of immorality. Wherever these 4 things are there, there is a high chance that, the place and the people in it are immoral, unethical. Here are the same 4 things in islam and how it is restricted. Prostitution is prohibited in Islam. It is considered a form of zina, or adultery, which is a major sin
