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.

Reservations and Appeasement: A conspiracy to destroy India

The best way to destroy a country is to make it destroy itself by its own people who feel righteous about themselves when they do it. The western countries like USA and other European countries need talent to drive their countries, corporations forward so that they stay ahead of the curve and this can be achieved only real talent. When in countries like india bring forth laws which will make sure that the important key positions in the government sector are based on discrimination, color, caste, language, creed and origin the real talented youngsters will obviously turn to the private sectors and a lot of these youngsters and talented youth is being grabbed at a high price from many western institutions and corporations like NASA, Google, Microsoft etc., which will only benefit the west and its interests because now we have indians working for western companies and countries in competition with india. It is in the interest of these western countries and private corporati...

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...
