Dehradun, Feb. 3 -- Social media and 'fashionable' activism is often so removed from the actual ground conditions that the occasional reminder of the hazards involved in taking on the government or other powerful interest groups proves an unpleasant experience. Not just that, the entitled activists are persuaded to feel in the interactions online that they are above the law - which applies only to ordinary people. These activists freely advise Prime Minister Modi how to run the country and to be 'strong' and 'courageous' when facing Chinese aggression, but should a neighbour misbehave, they immediately call for help from the same police they spend most of the time berating as an instrument of oppression.
All of this is seen in the reaction...
