HOW MODELS USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO GET FREE GIFTS?

The closure of lads'mags has hit the glamour model industry hard. Several ceased to exist over the past couple of years, as young men increasingly turned to their phones and social media. As a result, glamour models have had to diversify their work - some now have thousands of fans enjoying their sexy selfies on Snap-chat (for a premier price), while others have turned to Amazon to keep them in the lifestyle to which they are accustomed. Glamour models - including well-known lad mag names - are increasingly making their Amazon wish lists public so their fans can buy them presents.
"I will usually receive two or three items a week. My list ranged from 2,500 Pounds (Rs. 2.08 lakh, for shoes) down to about 20 Pounds (approximately Rs. 1,700)", Sophie (name changed), a published glamour model, said, "Most things come from the lower end of the list, but I have had some really expensive gifts arrive out of the blue". The models share links to their wish lists on their social media accounts - lots of whom have hundreds of thousands of followers. 
But what's in it for the men? "I think it turns men on. There's a fettish called financial domination and this is like a passive version of that", Sophie said, "Anyone expecting anything more than a heartfelt 'thank you' will be disappointed. I am genuinely grateful for what I receive, but...I won't sleep with your because you sent me something from Amazon...".
Not everyone, however, is a fan of the concept. One mother explained on Mumsnet how she discovered her 17-year-old son had saved up and spent 170 Pounds (Rs. 14,000) on boots for a model who did included them on her wishlist. She said that the model "just seems to manipulate young horny boys into buying gifts or sending for nothing".

VIEWS OF MANU AND KAUTILYA ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE.

The state performed its duty of protection of society and the individual through coercive enforcement of the standards of justice based on the concept of ' Dharma '. From the Vedic period onward, the perennial attitude of Indian culture had been justice and righteousness. Justice, in the Indian context, was a human expression of a wider universal principle of nature and if men were entirely true to nature, their actions would be spontaneously just. Men experienced Justice, in the sense of a distributive equity, as moral justice, social justice, and legal justice. Each of these forms of justice was viewed as a particularisation of the general principle of the universe seen as a total organism. Impartial administration of justice was always regarded as one of the main duties of the King and he was considered to be the fountain of justice. The ethical code of society and its cultural standards were inter-related. The cultural maturity and social amicability and even their det...

ANCIENT INDIA'S LINKS TO TODAY.

You may not have heard of Shu-ilishu but he is a man of great significance. He reaches out to us from almost 4,300 years ago, through a small Akkadian cylinder seal now housed at the Louvre Museum in Paris. On the seal, you will find an image of him talking to two men. The inscription describes Shu-ilishu as the interpreter of the Meluhhan language. 'Meluha' was, in all probability, the term used by ancient Mesopotamians for the Indus Valley region, and the presence of an oficial 'interpreter' there indicates just how important the steady flow of good from the Indian sub-continent was.  Precious and vibrant lapis lazuli stones, carnelian beads, wood and even dogs would go across via old trade routes and ports like Lothal (in modern-day Gujarat) to Akkad, capital of the Akkadian Empire (03rd millennium BCE) and now in modern-day Iraq. There are also references to a settlement of Meluhhans in the city of Guabba in Sumer, in Mesopotamia.  The story of Shi-ilishu and ...
