In The Age Of Free Expression And Lost Mind

A lot is happening these days. JNU, Rohith, Parliament, Beef, GST, Intolerance….the list just goes on. There are slew of speeches that appear in my FB feed every day.  Modi, Arvind, Rahul, Kanhiya, Smiriti, Anupam, Barkha, Ravish…. again the list goes on. People slam each other as bhakts, pseudo, anti-nationalists and what not. Everyone seems to be having an opinion on everything and they don’t hesitate to express it on social media and other places. Social media has become the thrash bag where everyone who was never heard have a voice.
