Social networking can be this powerful! Talk about Egyptian and Tunisian cyber activism that launched revolutions? In a corner of India, there is a similar revolution happening in Nagaland. Cyber activism with a non-violent face; deeds of love and compassion extended to those in need! The Naga Blog (TNB), a popular platform for facebooking Nagas (as well as esteemed non-Nagas participants), stands out from any other group.

Shocked as Unusual
I started my life practically in the midst of a civil war, grew up in a country fighting for independence and in another struggling to end a right-wing fascist regime. Then came my post war dream, the countless times of far too many trips into an African continent in permanent strife, fighting dictators and establishing new dictators, civil unrest and countless sleepless nights and tales of horror. But nothing prepared me for the sight of Breivik on Television, reading his twenty page manifesto of how he perceives his cowardly act to be heroic and in defence of the people of Norway against Multiculturalism.He condemns Marxist dictatorships yet acts swiftly without consent of the people to slaughter … Read entire article »
Poverty In Africa
“Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity, it is an act of justice.” - Nelson Mandela A majority of the world’s poorest countries today are in Africa. Of course some African countries like South Africa and Egypt are not quite as poor as others like Angola and Ethiopia. And though in recent years absolute poverty in Africa has shown some slight falls, African income levels have actually been dropping relative to the rest of the world. So poor Africa is getting relatively poorer on average, and 2011 sees drought in North East Africa again bringing the prospect of starvation to millions in the region affecting Somalia, Ethiopia and Kenya - and in Somalia religious war has been worsening the famine situation there. The land is a major problem in Africa, with many African countries having confused land … Read entire article »
Corruption-Democracy’s failure
Corruption is such a stale issue, and yet it has not dealt with at all. People have been talking about how corrupt India is since times immemorial, and ever since over bridges started collapsing during the Commonwealth Games, the issue has taken centre stage. Then the whole 2G scam issue followed and we all thought for a second that led by Anna Hazare, this nation had actually decided to do something about it. Perhaps the government had pushed the nation over the limit and they were going to pay a very heavy price for it. However, I think it was during this phase, that debates, discussions, talks by esteemed people and God knows what not on … Read entire article »
