Why debate about intolerance is about loss of privilege and social media is responsible for it

Firstpost  

What has Facebook or Twitter got to do with the machinations of India which is now allegedly on the throes of an “intolerance” wave? And just about 3 years later, in the summer of 2006, a few New York University undergrads led by Jack Dorsey wrote a code for Twitter, the online 140-character messaging service that has since become another Fortune 500 company. And this churning which has placed India at the crossroads of a political, ideological and societal change wouldn’t have been possible without the power of social media. The amorphous group of authors, filmmakers, activists, thinkers, members of the academia and journalists, people who like to call themselves ‘intellectuals’ in India are suddenly confronted with a situation where the silent majority, instead of consuming and internalising the narrative handed down as part of a sticky colonial legacy, now stands up and asks questions, calls out the hypocrisy of public figures, challenges them with facts and figures, digs out uncomfortable truths and remains stubbornly unconvinced of hand-me-down wisdom. Narendra Modi is a crafty user of the new medium that enables him to communicate directly with citizens and take instant feedback on a range of issues, almost totally bypassing the traditional media that understandably needs to find a way to battle an increasing irrelevance.
