A court in Aurangabad has issued a notice to Google asking why it's hosting an anti-India online community in its networking site Orkut.
Frankly, I think it's atrocious that such haters of India are allowed to express their hatred so openly. It's even worse that an entity is providing them safe haven. Our courts, which are already in a complete mess, will take ages to put the fear of our justice system in the culprits. Also, you can't trust the judges; in spite of their initial bluster, they may turn around and say India-haters are protected by our Constitution. There is only one viable, morally defensible course of action, and our government should pursue it vigorously and unflinchingly until the world is rid of this threat to freedom and liberty.
We should invade Google.
Heh!
ReplyDeleteOn the way to google can we please invade some other threats too? Like Kimberlyblogspot and such?
ReplyDeletePlease?
Whew!
Abi,
ReplyDeleteShocking that this should come from you!
After all these years of defending free
speech, etc.! Don't you think India is
robust enough, resilient enough, tough
enough, great enough to weather a couple
of anti-India hate mongering sites? How
often do we hear talking heads on TV
taking pot-shots at Pakistan
calling it a 'failed state', 'something
based on a failed ideology, etc.'?
This is intellectually incendiary
activity, which is as crude as putting up
pictures of burning tri-colours.
I pity those who burn tri-colours as
those who burn cresent flags.
Where is our righteous anger at targeting
another sovereign country and
a sovereign people?

Abi,
ReplyDeleteI am surprised at this post. But I have not seen the site you mentioned.
Neha, Confused, Anant, Swarup: Thanks for your comments.
ReplyDeleteSwarup: You should visit Orkut, just for the fun of it. I became a member there just a couple of weeks ago, and it's a happening place, with all kinds of 'communities' and 'groups' and 'friends', and so on.

ReplyDeleteWhoa! I never thought that professors would be memebers there!
Vishnu: I never thought that professors would be memebers there!
ReplyDeleteMe neither! You have to blame Kuffir for convincing me that the place is not that hostile to people in their forties ...
Nice post... But watch out, the Bombay High Court may also ask to cops to invade your home (or IISc)
