Safety valve.

I read the hard hitting blog of Tarun Vijay ,about the miseries of Manipuri's and the sordid state of affairs in the North East of our country.

I was aware of Manipuri classical dance form and also knew that Manipuri's fete Arjuna as their son- in- law since yore and that they worship Vasudeva.

But I wasn't aware of their miseries and the writers cry from the heart at the shabby ,shameless and step motherly treatment meted out to them as well as the other states of the seven sisters , by the Indian govt, and the indifference and apathy of the mainland population and the media at large to their conditions, is stirring and effective.

The spontaneous out pourings of comments to Tarun Vijay's write up , the calibre and vocabulary ,is amazing and a eye opener!It strengthens a journalist Kanchan Gupta's observation on the 'Internet Hindus' inter alia 'Internet Patriots.' Young , technical savvy ,highly educated and well employed Hindus ,feeling stifled ,slighted and ostracised by news papers and news channels controlled by middle aged editors and anchors who tailor the news content to suit their 'Super secularists' image , are giving a free run to their pent up views , emotions and rumblings , spraying it like molten lava on the no holds barred Internet!

Woe may betide us, if those living in ivory towers , not in sync with the current generation ,attempts to stem [ block ] this torrent . This is a safety valve.
