Congress versus Cyberspace

· Dear Government,
Trying to get the Internet constipated?
You’ll only end up with a full blown case of diarrhea attack upon you!

·The 4Cs that are Cutting the Congress: Cyberspace. CAG. Civil Society. Courts.

·We will eradicate Partition pain: Nehru.
We will eradicate poverty: Indira.
We will eradicate Twitter, Facebook: Manmohan.

·When there’s a war, cities undergo blackouts.
The Government wants blackouts in cyberspace before it attacks further.

·Advisor: There is a real problem of Bangladeshi illegal immigration into India.
Government: We are more worried about the problem of Twitter &FB’s illegal immigration of ideas into Indian thought.

·1975: When the media was asked to bend, they crawled.
2012: When the Government looked, the media (MSM) were already crawling in the first place!

·Congress: Twitter has 140 shady characters.
Twitter: Congress has more than 140 shady characters in its ranks.

·Many countries have a Sense of Humour.
India has a Sense of Tumour, a cancer which is eating away at humour, creativity, free speech and expression.

·MMS is a chuha in real life (doing nothing) and a Singham in cyberspace (banning everything left right and centre).

·Quota Politics. What after 5 SMSes a day limit? 5 status messages a day limit? This current government exceeded its quota of good ideas years back.

If newspapers marketed themselves like websites…

The world’s No. 1 paper has a circulation of 3 million plus.

That’s 3 million Unique Visitors a day!

That makes it 90 million Unique Visitors a month!

Every newspaper is read by four people.

We could call that 360 million total Visitors a month!

Now every Visitor flicks through almost the whole paper and therefore sees at least 20 Pages.

That’s 7.2 billion Page Views!

(Now isn’t that the more than the population of the world?
Note: Take Web Statistics with a pinch of salt.)

A farfetched comparison…

Hitler was democratically elected but still became intolerant, arrogant and fascist in outlook and wasn’t interested in what other parties and people were thinking. His Minister of Propaganda was Goebbels and they banned a lot of books. Their most shameful episode is the Holocaust. Hitler had the numbers to introduce an Emergency like situation.

The Congress was democratically elected but still became intolerant, arrogant and fascist in outlook and isn’t interested in what other parties and people are thinking. Its Minister of Propaganda is Sibal and they have banned a lot of websites. Their most shameful episode is the anti-Sikh riots of 1984. UPA don’t have the numbers to introduce an Emergency like situation.
