There is something to be said about the quality of debate one gets on the rediff board. Its immature and sometimes down right offensive. Let me list some of the key words that form the crux of debate on this board:
1) north indians Vs south Indians 2) Hindu Vs Muslim 3) Pro and Anti reservation 4) Pro and Anti 'leave India for a better life' 5) India is crap place or not 6) SC ST OBC 7) Pakistan Vs India 8) Pro and Anti america 9) MC / BC and other explicit short forms 10) Anything that can be made out to be personal affornt 11) Lewd comments about girls and more than likely white skinned girls
Any of above, in any combination can be found on discussions on any topic on Rediff.
Hardly reflects on an intellectual nation and a kowledge based economy we proport ourselves to be.
