Soon after the harrowing experience of two Mumbai girls who expressed
their opinion on Mumbai bandh on Facebook came to light, young poet
Meena Kandasamy wrote on Twitter: "Indian police can convert nation into
an open prison bcoz lots of us hate a man who adored Hitler #Arrest Me." Following this tweet,
Meena posted several thoughts, venting her anger on the system. The
last in the series of tweets said she felt sorry for the Indian
tricolour.
Meena was one among thousands of angry youngsters who
were seen waging a war for freedom of speech on the internet on Tuesday.
If Shaheen Dhada was arrested for criticizing the bandh observed in
Mumbai following the death of Bal Thackeray,
several active users of social networking sites in Kerala committed
graver crimes by the scale of Mumbai police. Comments cheering the death
of Thackeray and portraying him as a merchant of hatred are still being
shared actively by Malayali youth.
