Internet - an efficient and transparent way of governing

I was humoured by a report which stated that seasoned politicians are afraid of using the internet to avoid any "Cattle Class" like controversies.

What they need to understand is the Internet is now a media of the Masses. It is such an important and easy way of getting in touch with your elected representative, especially in a fully literate constituency like Trivandrum.

If public servants can use it as medium to communicate ongoing progress of development work and receive petitions and update status etc... What an efficient and transparent way of governing.

This is where we need educated people like Dr.Shashi Tharoor "to lead the way". I pray and hope that the rest of the "Holy Cows" follow him.

Jai Hind!
