*Green youth is becoming yet another platform to Make fun of each other.???????* *Please stop it!*
http://venkiteswaran.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html *2 years b4* this what Dr.CSVenkiteswaran had to say *about Net discussion and green youth related site.* Pls see. I don't know whether he subsribes to this theory 2 years later. Anyway this is also a paltform for manythings. However, I think no body here will apply too much "idealism" to ourselves unlike our media warriors and academics think/reflect of themselves and thier conception of themselves as great holders of '*authentic *ideas and truth'!! *Similarly, political and other discussions about various aspects of life and society are also becoming more and more vibrant in the web world. Various issues that do not get space in the 'mainstream' are active here. For instance very disturbing questions and issues realting to dalit life and struggles, sexual minorities, environmental and other new social movements etc are in fact more exhaustively debated and discussed in this sphere. There are mailing lists like Greenyouth mailinglist which is an activist-support mailinglist for Kerala run by Global Alternate Information Applications (GAIA), which discusses vital issues concerning Kerala life and society. Sites like http://www.countercurrents.org, on the other hand is one of the most vibrant sites that provide comprehensive insight into anti-imperialist struggles and ideations from all over the world. Another site that provides detailed information about Kerala is http://www.grass-roots.in that gives links to all the important news items relating to Kerala. Among the communist parties, it is the CPI (ML) that maintains a more active website ( http://www.cpimlker ala.com/) compared to the established ones. This once again proves the primacy of the marginal in the net sphere. At the other extreme are sites like www.haindavakeralam.orgthat provides the Hindu fundamentalist view of our times. One interesting feature of this site is the section Media Watch which spells out its mission thus: " Most of the visual / print media in Bharat today are anti Hindu, both in intent and temperament. Haindava Keralam prepares to expose the hidden agenda of Pseudo secularist media / journalists in Kerala and other parts of the country. We seek support of all nationalist journalists across Bharat to join us for the success of this mission" . Obviously there is a churning process in progress at a subterranean level of Kerala society that at the surface level seems to plunge its head into the loud and banal sand of mainstream media. The new media expressions are important not only because it voices the voiceless and the marginal, but also because it is predominantlay the domain of the youth. Unless our conventional media which feigns to be 'the mainstream', wakes up and listens to these voices, it wont be long before they actually 'realise' their obsoleteness, both in form and content.* On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 3:18 PM, shanoj poduval <[email protected]> wrote: > Dear all... > > > regrds > Shanoj > > On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 2:28 PM, damodar prasad <[email protected] > > wrote: > >> Let me refer to collected works of Kuttichathan and find a way out for >> myself :-))) >> >> On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 2:24 PM, Anil M <[email protected]> wrote: >> >>> Damodar, u estimate or not but u have to help him find out which is >>> true...* Everything is possible or Nothing is impossible.* (The Mumabi- >>> Pune route is tricky.
