Two thought provoking articles, taken together give an Interesting and powerful message. One echoing well understood thought that Indian startups need a Desi angle to make web2.0 work in India, and the second, airing outrage at Shiv Sainiks' voilent protests against free expression on Orkut and Youtube or vandalizm by Ambedkerites at first instance of criticism by free minds.
This brings up a very interesting dimension to Web 2.0, especially in Indian context where democracy is an import rather than a home grown phenomena. Web 2.0 has given populace a medium to take potshot, from a safe distance, at people staunchly blinded by ideology.
A larger than life cause is always a bigger motivator and can move nations. The social democratic dimension gives web2.0 entrepreneurs a new vision to fight for.
Web 2.0 paves an interesting way to a big democracy 2.0 revolution led by thinkers, technocrats & entrepreneurs.
