Yesterday Indian Home minister gave this statement that he wants to curb electronic media; though today he made a U-turn by saying that he was referring to social media. It is shocking that the home minister of a free and democratic country thinks this way. Electronic media and social networking tools have helped millions of Indians to express their view freely.

In the last decade, the media and especially electronic media have become very strong in India. Thanks to smart phones and small computing devices, electronic media is now touching more numbers of people. Some of old fashioned leaders are not comfortable with it and want to curb it.
Some data are very shocking and unbelievable. One similar data is about around 15K deaths in India because of potholes.

Despite so many efforts, the condition of Indian roads is not good.
Even in big cities, it is very common to find potholes and bad roads then who cares about the small cities and villages. The main reason behind such problems is that there is no system to make concerned authorities accountable. The officials involved in road construction don't do their jobs properly and high corruption is another reason which fuels such probl…
