The power of the net was recently seen in the Jasmine revolution brought about through the Tweeter & Face Book. Tunisia, Egypt and now Libya have either changed hands of power or they are about to change.
I keep on thinking if this powerful tool would ever be used in our country to put pressure on the government, a non performing minister or a bureaucrat to take action, be it against corruption, rotting food grains outside FCI Godowns, water logging during rains, etc or even for change of government.
This, then, would certainly a Gandhian Way of fighting for the rights. Unless the youth decide to join this struggle, a few Anna Hazares, Megha Patkars will not make a change.
