There was a time, as recently as the early twenty-first century when
ordinary Indians were scared to talk about the all-powerful politicians.
We whispered our discontent to a few trusted friends behind the safety
of our own walls. Those days, hopefully, are gone for good. We've really
understood what Elie Weisel said. "Neutrality helps the oppressor and
silence, the tormentor."
Today, we don't hesitate to use online media like facebook, twitter, email, blogs, etc
to promote our favourite candidate for Prime Minister of India. To that extent our democracy is alive and
well.
