Jaishree Menon, a simple writer/blogger and publisher of The Kharghar Navi Mumbai Times. She tweeted the below mentioned tweet
This tweet was made on 31st May, 2011. And it was retweeted and blogged extensively. We still are not exactly sure about the details of this case but it was amazing with the speed at which events unfolded. The public responded with retweets and the media responded. And with the media in the fray, the police had to respond and we are all hoping that her problem is solved. That her husband is put behind bars and their daughter gets justice and the help she needs.
Twitter has recently become a huge part of the coming revolution among Indian youth. It has become indispensable with the Anna Hazare movement and now the Ramdev fast getting a lot of popularity due to twitter.
Khargar is trending in India while I am writing this. It makes you feel proud sometimes that granted we have a cattle way of thinking and reacting to our surroundings, people make things happen. The same can be said about the latest people movements in the nation. Tweets were the cause of some politicians eating their ignorant comments and face the public ire. Twitter has helped the public understand their politicians and leaders and other becoming leaders.
Let’s see what happens now. Its really our choice whether we should sit back and be mere onlookers or participate and contribute to this change in the small ways we can.
