Fighting for India from our homes
3rd June 1999 Aseem Asthana @bom4.vsnl.net.in
Hello everybody, The Indian Army has been bravely countering the attacks of the Pakistanis in Kargil. They are doing a great service to the nation. It is time that we too do something, anything that is in our hands to support our nation. And in these times of electronic communication it is simple enough to do so. And very important. Important because if our view point is not sent across to the people the world over the Pakistanis view will. This is information war. I have been visiting various Indian and Pakistani usenet groups and seeing what is going on there. When ever I found any statement to the detriment of India I countered it with a reply. But I can not keep track of all the Indian threads. The Pakistanis are obsessed with India. (Their identity seems to be based on India. They think of India more that they do of Pakistan. ) So we should make it an attempt to counter these anti India messages on usenet. And volumes will certainly help. I have also written to the BBC about what is the Indian side of the story. Again volumes will help. They might start thinking a little more pro-India. Letters to the editors of foreign newspapers will help put across the Indian view point to them. We might even start monitoring Pak newspapers on the web to see what vilification they indulge in and think of some means of countering it. For starters here are some results of a little research I did on the web today. BBC Email - mailto://feedback@bbc.co.uk http://www.bbc.co.uk New York Times Email mailto://letters@nytimes.com http://www.nyt.com Some Pakistan Newspaper The Dawn http://www.dawn.com Pakistan Today http://www.paktoday.com So freinds, let us do it for India and beat the Paksitanis at this game. And if you agree with me do forward this email to your friends. Aseem. Aseem Asthana, 239 A, New Swarg Mandir, Mhow 453441, MP, India. Tele - 91 7324 74603/78236.
