If only time was unlimited...........
Being mostly a lurker, my own interaction with BR was minimal, and despite the fact that one of the admins is a dear old friend, I too feel that BR has become an extension of the Indian media that it so despises. Everyone is walking on eggshells with extreme concern for the sensibilities of some, but with disdain at times for sense itself.
Hence, India Forum. Joined the day They through out HH. Love the freedom, the variety of threads, the emoticons, the casual approach etc.
I feel the forum should be allowed to develop as it will. Freedom is and should be the watchword. Having said that, we all have our own "Lakshman Rekha" and mine would be language and personal attacks against members.
I love the movies thread already. Dire need for something like that. In a way, Krishna is correct, movies and such can also serve as psy-ops in a big way. My teenage daughter is going to see "Bollywood Hollywood" at her English teacher's home this weekend, along with some other Indians and American students from her school. Agreed, the movie may not be all that great, but imagine what a well made anti-TSP movie could achieve. Americans never get to see or hear the Indian side of the story. Unfortunately most of the 'Indian' spokespersons in the media here are the DDM types.
