4. Everyone Seems
to
It.

10. The Biggest Credit Goes To this Guy
The Man Who Revolutionized the our
Online Social Experience

21. 2012

22. What's the USP of the social media?
Facebook has more than 65
million active users here,
putting the country among
the top five worldwide in
terms of users.
On this platform, free
speech is unhindered.
It's a virtual
megaphone with a
global reach, as the
numbers show.
Whether it's Twitter or
Facebook, India is a
huge presence.

23. Facebook and
Twitter started
off as friendship
and networking
tools. But, they
have evolved
into potent
weapons of
social
mobilization.
In a way, India
Against
Corruption can
be credited
with starting it
in mid-
2010, during
the Anna-
movement.

24. The Anna Hazare agitation
which was largely powered
by Social Media Driven
Youths, and the India
Against Corruption FB

25. The networking tool that's now a weapon

26. India might have tasted the
power of the smartphone first in
2011 when Anna Hazare's
stinging anti-corruption
message rode the social media
wave.
But this year saw
social media
creating a new
phenomenon — the
rise of the virtually
connected Indian
youth — which is
likely to redraw the
terms of
engagement
between the state
and its urban
population.

27. Social Media may have been started as a new platform for socialising
but now it has become one of the basic medium of realizing our
Freedom Of Speech. And any curtailing of which leads to mass
protests.

28. Look at it any way, it is
here to stay.
So, it's time for the
state to learn to
deal with the new
power of the
ordinary citizen,
instead of finding
means to curtail it.

29. For the Present
lets bask in its
glory..
