Facebook seems to have become more of a threat than I'd ever imagined.. Madness can spread across it like wildfire...
The jallikkatu thing is something I'm still not very clear about, but it is very clear that some anti national statements were made with ease, sprouting State-istic (read: Nationalistic towards State) feelings in a manner that it threatened the linguistic and political secularity of the country..
Faceless meme makers of popular sites have received enormous public support and do not understand its value.. It is always the norm that when one finds people listening to them, they think can get away with saying anything..
Perhaps the sound of applause injects madness into lesser minds..
Meme makers are supposed to be comedians, not leaders. I wouldn't have used the term "lesser minds" if they had made good use of their popularity..
There is a difference between using freedom of speech to criticize a politician and merely speaking against the government.. The government is more than a political party. We, the governed, are a part of it. It is a system that can work only if we cooperate. Along the lines, it was blasphemous to speak against the PM. Criticism during the tenure must be constructive. Such maturity is expected from people of a democracy and ours send to have become demo-crazy..
We may be mature as individuals but we are childish blabbermouths and utter idiots as a society..
If memes are going to be the next youth inspirers, so be it, but we want a self conscious, aware bunch of leaders who know the repercussions of each step they take and are sensitive to the interests of the country at large and specific regions too.
We have forgotten that the Indian Army helped us during the floods - which state does each of those soldiers belong to?
