On why not to shop at Select CITYWALK, Saket

Special Disclaimer : This post is not suitable for Select CITYWALK fans, so they are requested to kindly refrain from continuing reading this post. Any comments (positive or negative) from the concerned parties would not be appreciated.

Neither does this blend with the spirit of India nor does it make economic sense because of the
1. Skewed sex-ratio
2. Patriarchal society


PS: I so hope that the Left comes across this piece of information.
