Orkut
by surya rao on Jun 12, 2007 02:12 PM

I am a south indian born and brought up in Pune, worked in Mumbai for almost 27yrs. But now and nri since 9yrs, and settled in my home town in AP. but, i still retain my strong ties with Maharashtra, and my single biggest icon is Sivaji. I have been at the receieving end of the influence of the sena many a times, at college, at work, etc, and allow me to tell u, that, there fears and argument r not w/o reason.
anyways, coming back to Sivaji. if there r 2 hindu kings who reflect our greatness, they r Sri Krishna Deva Raaya, and Chatrapati Sivaji. and, no self expression sites should be allowed to become platforms for hate content towards our icons.
there was a website which displayed inflammatory content agaisnt Rahul Gandhi. The Congress party(OFFICIALLY) took the portal to court. What if the same thing is done with Sonia Gandhi??
And, to people who equate this situation with rubbish written on Public Toilets, r they admitting that Orkut is like a Public Toilet?? r they admitting that everybody who visits orkut r actually visiting orkut to p-ss from his mind, there, including the person who has equated orkut to a public toilet??
IF GOOGLE COMES OUT WITH A STATEMENT THAT ORKUT IS A RUBBISH/TRASH SITE, SIMILAR TO A PUBLIC TOILET THEN I GUESS, EVEN THE SENA WILL SHUT UP.
Orkut is giving a platform to socialize and network. The Indian govt is allowing everybody to have access to such sites because of the democratic freedom in our country. THIS SHOULD NOT BE MIS-USED. this
