Today on television I saw some debates and discussion on the forged mark sheets produced by pilots to get their licenses. This piece is however not about that. I went back to net to read more about the news item and casually scrolled down to the comments section. Surprisingly there was none!!
The Tendulkar getting angry with his team mates had 184 comments. The Mao Killings had zero comments. Narendra Modi being praised by an army official had 39 while the Japan earthquake had 27.
I was quite amazed by these facts and it does reflect on us and who are we as people. The icing on the cake was of course when I read the comments on Japan. There was hardly any sympathy or concern in most of them. Rather everybody was talking about how Japan will recover in 2 years. No comments on the dead and missing now, the crazy humanitarian efforts required to battle the issue, etc.
The serious issues had less comments and whether Vidya Balan should sue for the bikini pics had more than hundreds of hits with a sizeable percentage being derogatory in nature.
And we talk about culture. Have we lost it already or are we losing it rapidly?
