from Victoria's England to everybody's India

HAD to share this little gem I found prowling around the 'net for kinderculture and consumerism in the Indian context through nursery rhymes. I especially appreciated the Prakash Karat, Mamata B and Hoysala indexing of current affairs in the mad capitalistic globalization of contemporary India

This on the other hand, wierded me out and is puzzling, if read while pondering notions of the postnational, transnational, global, national and local. Note the focus on patriotic and religious songs for children.
