My comment was not a generalization about corporate campaigns. There are many good ones. I am being very specific. The group in question says one thing on it’s campaign – but perpetuates exactly the opposite elsewhere and away from the urban gaze.

I respect your right to differ, but we must at least be supportive of the positive by-products of corporate campaigns just as we are quick to denounce their negative implications.

I appreciate the sentiment behind the post. My comment is not meant to take away from the purpose of your post or blog.

I would like to express a divergent opinion about one particular name that you have listed – Tatas.
I do not feel that they merit a mention on this post. Their history is reasonably well documented. Any CSR campaign that they have is towards diverting the attention of their consumer base to what they are up-to in other parts of the country.
A good example of the available documentation can be found here

Another example is the recent prime ministerial endorsement by the head of the Tata Group.
