Recent bodo-muslim "wanna be" riot just had me back on my blog
A country's integrity which cannot be just held ransom by any sort of rumor for is not we want even after the post retirement age of India. When can we finally dream of and see a more mature India. In my opinion this tragic retreat of of the north-eastern minority group raises the questions on the failure of govt & security services in the country. Govt calls it world wild web or a digital pandora's box but it does fail to understand its responsibilities towards these internal security level issues.
Why is the regular pass-the-blame still being played and tolerated. Home ministry blames the telecom networks and social media and bans 310+ of them. But does it have to be reminded that that riots are not taken place in the social media sites, they are done on roads, and there is no point in banning as many of these if it fails to control the following action.
"Ban the hate action, not the hate speech"
A source is blocked, more emerge. Is there no other sensible option left with the authorities to stop any wrong doings and block the action. My question is why take action on the net/media/telecom services rather than the criminal individual. Is it difficult to create another source when one gets blocked?
Why is that media always gets to play the blame-it-on-him member of the society. Riots,terrorist attacks, bandhs, exam paper leaks, vital information leak etc, blame it on media. One or the other communication gets hit badly. The govt goes to the extremes in response to such cases. It either keeps quiet or goes harsh on the media.Limiting download speeds, number of SMSs and restricting data flow did only add inconvenience and complications. Many impersonation, fake and parody accounts are not taken care of till some potentially explosive contented source is detected after the heavy mobility in the nation. Was the antipole not expected in here.
Coming back to media, the telecom suffers as messaging services get held back. Social media sites suffer as they get banned for a period. Servers go down. Country faces a new lot of problems now.
This whole sequence has given a message in under current to the whole system that people neither trust the secularism of system nor the police and security services. A failure in system is followed when motion of minority cannot be provided safety where ever they settle in this over sensitive country.
Be there a real riot or an intimidating factor for one

Even for the so called "Superpowers" of the world riots can be big pain in the armpits.The biggest problem with such actions is the inabilty pin point the rootcause.Hope things are under control over there.
ReplyDeletethe problem is that no riot actually took place on streets, but the notion of a riot like situation hyped through various communication channels created chaos.
ReplyDeletei dont understand wat trai tries to do by just restricting the number of sms per day,is dat the only source.and y media is blamed always because in present days it makes sensation for minor incidents so it is focussed much,so it always takes the blame,now the social networking has also got a share,govt people need some reasons to escape so wat they r blaming on these sources.it shows the poor security sources dat our country have."The govt have to take ACTIONS but not BLAMING on any sources dat are avilable"
