The Orkut War

Yesterday while orkutting [which is quite in-fashion these days and the only thing I joined b4 it goes out-fashion], I came across a community named, “I hate India”.

It reminded me of a reference on the web which says,“The origin of the word "community" comes from the Latin munus, which means the gift, and cum, which means together, among each other. So community literally means to give among each other.”
lemme guess …
okie I got it ....so nowadays we are gifting hate that is why named it over Hate
Coooooool …

It was new to me, so I hit the return key to find more on “hate India”.I found few more,”I hate India and her people”, “I hate F**king India”,“I hate the community, I hate India”, “I hate those who hate India.”

I found myself wet with the peoples’ emotions. So finally, I have found hundreds of people who really love their nation, their entity, their freedom that they have the courage to stand against a whole nation. Aha finally I have found the freedom fighters….Rebel,Patriots …..of the century???

But I could not find the motive of double pointer like “I hate those hate India”. These double pointers always make others confused. Is it counterattack, or mutual-inductive patriotism??Anyways everybody is free to express itself according to article 14; I am no one to raise any question. Infact Airtel in their ad campaign also is encouraging for freedom of expression.

Curiously, I checked few threads there to know about the people and their psychology, their complaints, intensity of hate and the message and motive for building a community on the base of hate. I came across messages full of desi-slangs which made me nostalgic about college. I found it an arena of Indo-Pak verbal war. Good finally I found that what has kept India and Pakistan kept away from using nukes on each other. Orkut.com has become the best battle field and I salute the people who are fighting with such an enthusiasm and patriotism making even soldiers shameful who are just having fun on the snow clad peaks.

Cool, really Information technology has redefined everything on the planet. Imagine, we in future may be having war with aliens also on Orkut’s verion 11Beta or something like that. Scrapbooks having scraps from both battalions:

Homo Sapiens: “Hey you Martians, we are so much in number that if we piss off at ur planet, you will be flown away in the space….you senseless creatures.”

Martians: “you bloody humans, don’t forget once this blue planet was also our part. You are living on our mercy.”
Wow!!! Wonderful …similar kind of fight but with aliens.

Some people complained that these communities are spreading message of hate. But I have different view on such things. I am not defending anybody. But building such community has at least provided a proper channel and platform where people can release their frustration, anger, dismay, hate and failure. At least they have not united together to form any terrorist associations.Atleast few more people have not been died in serial blasts or riots. I found the threads full of abusive language and slang. In an internet article on slang psychology; I read that most of the slangs originated from jails. Can you think why???Yeah it were the same people who were kept behind bars and given emotional, psychological and physical torture. While seeing profiles of the people at these communities, either these people are full of time and nothing to do or they have witnessed some kind of ill treatment by conditions, people, religion or the system.
And now they are yelling at such forums so that others can listen to their crap which is totally not related to whole mass. They suffered due to single entity but now blaming the whole system and making it responsible for their disaster. And I think they will stop raising their voices as soon as they are done with their so called “cyber-revenge “or “cyber-zehad”.

In fact I myself many times have yelled all “Maa-Bhen” chants when got frustrated waiting in any queue or system failure. Many times I myself have abused the whole administrative system due to rudeness and ego of “sarkari babus and clerks “.

Now if we talk about” Hate India”,” Love India” or “hate Pakistan”, I will say that I m not hurting anybody’s emotion but please let me know how do you define Your India or Your Pakistan. India is not 100 crore people, its not only old civilization, historic monuments, Rivers, Himalayas, Ayurvedas, Temples, churches, mazjids, mixes-ins of cultures , Curries , cuisines. It’s not only Corrupted System, its world’s largest software market along with BPO also. It has millions of ingredients, it's not a single entity. Similarly for Pakistan, it’s not only ISI or their spinners or terrorist training camps but a lot of beautiful things. So hating India means one just hates to keep its ego at the peak neglecting the beauty of all those millions of its ingredients. I too love my nation but I don’t need to prove it. Its in my thought, flowing in my veins. But it’s really true that I hate few of its rotten things and love a lots of others.Better to find out that entity which has aroused those strong emotion of hate or love instead of the whole nation or group.

Finally I strongly believe only love can be spread. Hate is so inflammatory, that the carrier itself can’t carry it longer, to pass it on to others.Ok enough gyan!!! Meanwhile you can explore other dimensions and reasons of such cyber psychologies. Here is another link
