2G Scam and Moral Scarcity

The marquee of Indian growth has been the Telecom sector. While it has been the necklace of the growth of India, the 2G scam has unfortunately shown the decadence of Indian value system. Social scientists often debate on the influence of the western culture on the Indian value system, what we see today is nothing close to it. The huge flow of money has eaten the Indian political leadership with ministers such as A. Raja and Kanimozi suffering from what can easily be called moral leprosy. Surprisingly it is being catalyzed with outbursts against seemingly harmless comments made by celebrities such as the one made by Jay Leno which showed golden temple as a vacation home.

Twitter and the world of hate - Delhi Gang Rape

Common wisdom says that venting out reduces frustration. Twitter, Facebook, and blogs help us achieve the same. While what normally starts as a "venting out" experience, I suspect is turning out to be an anguish enhancer. When I look at trending topics on twitter all what I see is a world of "Hate". Small pieces of hate messages turn out to be a big collective bunch of hate. Take the case of Delhi gang rape and some ill-minded comments of politicians and spiritual gurus. What started as scattered bickering remarks against a comment made by "Asaram" has now become a full fledged ball of rage. This rage was "non-directional", had no agenda and was oriented towards sarcasm and wit. While Delhi gang rape highlights poor governance, societal problems and problems of law and order, venting out on a forum that accumulates the frustration by many such people only adds to the low well-being.
