in protests today:
Protest against a nazi name by mumbai's jews,
by docs against reservations - i support thier cause btw

for every valid protest like the one against Reservations, there seems to be 10 for causes like change the name of the restaurant and apologize by the Jews of Mumbai,
Ban omkara for it has abuses,
Censor movies, because people are not sensible, they dont know what to watch....

list goes on

After a long hiatus I am back with some more abhorrent thghts
yesterday, the social wing of the police raided some cable guys,

They did not raid the DTH segment

The reason was that channels were airing adult content

Hmmm

All very nice

First we, in a democracy, have and I&B ministry, ever wondered why?

Second we have the police and people complaining and protesting everything that happens

And thirdly the sensible part of the nation remains mum, sensibly some say.

What is the problem with a democracy having a ministry that controls Information and Broadcasting?

Why should they, a democracy runs on the principle that people can make their own choices, right?

Well this simple fact is lost on the power hungry anal government.

The incessant protesting that goes on also amply reinforces this. I have made a choice now I want everyone else to live with it types.

See what happened to Da Vinci code, to salman rushdie’s books and now latest is Omkara.

Coke is another thing altogether. Government cannot do anything about the water that everyone drinks, but wants to ban cola that is consumed by so few (in India per capita consumption of colas is among the lowest in the world)

If the assumption that people can make informed choices on their own is wrong, then this democracy is all wrong, we need a dictatorship imposed on us. If they can choose their own leaders and this proves that they can actually make choices, then shouldn’t the people decide what they want to watch (adult, porn, davinci code etc), what they drink (cola, spirits, mahim sea water)… I don’t get it.

How come there were no bans on drinking the polluted mahim seawater, I wonder!!!!!

Indian’s love complaining and protesting, this is what the late pramod mahajan used to say, look how true it is. Some bugger is now complaining about abusive language in Omkara, just don’t watch, it used to be a free country, other people may like it

Hmmmm!

Guess have raved enuff for a day
