The humble radio is now at the centre of a storm in Jharkhand. Members of the Tana Bhagat community, a tribal community in Jharkhand, were given FM radio sets to listen to the Prime Minister's Mann Ki Baat. Close inspection showed that these radios were manufactured by one Phillips – mind you, not the Dutch technology company Philips – which is an assembler of brown goods with parts sourced from China. At a time when there are campaigns seeking boycott of Chinese-made products, these radios have become a source of embarrassment for Bharatiya Janata Party's Raghubar Das-led government in the state. But while opposition parties are crying foul, the state government has decided to maintain radio silence.
