Unilever v/s Procter & Gamble

These are some very interesting links related to a recent Price war between Unilever’s Indian subsidiary(HLL) and Procter & Gamble for market share in the Indian subcontinent. Think it might be of some interest from a Business strategy and Marketing perspective as the Indian market is just emerging.
