Remember my previous post about the cast based communities on 'orkut'?
Well the response to it was shocking, disheartening...there's is no place to say all this than this...

Here are the responses:

* 'Marathi' community on 'orkut' :

only one guy responded saying my friend, here everybody is cast-oriented, and that I won't get anyy backing....Couldn't judge if *he* was supporting me or opposing...
===========================

* 'Ratnagiri' community on 'orkut':

this is classic. One girl bent it to gender bias and bla bla...
Leter on I found that my post was removed....
afterwards, the moderator posted on the community that my topic was removed because many people were offended!!
This was most disheartening to me. Nobody showed courage to discuss/debate it.
===========================

I discussed this on chat with my younger cousin, one college friend, 1-2 collegues...

The cousin, fresh graduate, represented today's youth, she was totally confused. She said ppl wanted to support me, but kept mum. I don't think so. She couldn't explain her view.

Collegues as I knew were exactly thinking as I do..

a friend disguised as he supported my view. But said the orkut response should not be taken serously, ppl are there for fun.

which is what I admin for now. Though I have some 'reservations' ;)

oh 'reservations'!!!
why did I say that word?
ok next I'll tell what I think on this hot buring topic of India :d
