"Paranoid Society"

The right to freedom of speech as one of the basic human rights is in  main international human rights documents. As the reach becomes greater so does the government's paranoia .
They have used section 66 (A) to turn online communication into a virtual minefeild. The government has chosen to stand by as a mute spectator.The users of social media have become cautious. It's not clear what is the purpose of section66 (A).
 It's like having a single provision covering murder, assualt and nuisance and prescribing the same penalty for all of them. Laws needs to be very clear about what they want.
As a country we look to imitate the west, and often copy it badly.
If someone out there speak his/her mind being a part of this country has a right to express.
The people who think that India is so fragile that it can collapse under the weight of  140 characters of a tweet are mistaken.
Speak out your mind so as not to be  called cowards by our coming generations and bring the change for  better India.
