Love to Hate

I am deeply pained by the protest made by students in JNU.  It is one classic example of mis use of freedom of speech.
I am sure many of us hate them too. 

I started checking details on social media and other media channels, my rage against the JNU protestors increased multifold. Studying at the level of my rage against this, I noticed the more time I spent on social media, rage increased.

I started my research on why this hatred behavior started. I noticed that this hardness is fueled by the social media and media channels.

I think netizens (citizens on internet) of India need some reason to feel connected to some issue which hyped heavily. Netizens want to contribute to big topics. An easier way to do that is by sharing, commenting, tweeting the hate topics.

If I look back in the past, we netizens have hated so many.
We hated JNU students for anti national protest, we hated Kejrival for a brilliant idea to cut traffic pollution. 

We also hated Aamir Khan and demonstrated that we are intolerant to any celebrity who wants to move out of India. We worship Madhuri Dixit as an actress, while we forget that she had moved out of India in search of greener pastures. Aamir Khan expressed his fear that he is not safe, but Madhuri actually moved out. Let's not forget that Maharashtra govt has chosen Madhuri Dixit as a brand ambassador for Maharashtra tourism and industrialisation campaign.

Earlier we hated the dumb son of Laloo Yadav, also hated those who returned awards before Bihar elections. We liked hating the Dadri and related incidents.
Oops, I missed hatredenedness for Malda.

If I introspect what was the productive output of this hate, I see nothing. Mass hating leaves nothing but intolerance. I am yet to find out any individual or organisation which did something positive when this hate was being spewed out.

There is so much of graphic material created overnight on the topics of hate. Who funds those? Why do they fund it? Few people whom I met say it is Congress which spreads hate to curb BJP.
Few others say it is BJP which spreads hate to keep its vote bank intact.
I am here not to present my view is it is BJP or Congress. As a smart voter, I will express my views, by clicking the palm or lotus during elections.

Cell phone companies are gaining as more haters become netizens. Mobile carriers are gaining as we hate using the data plan. Every time we hate on social media, they know where we are by cellphone GPS. Many advertising companies are gaining.
Facebook, tweeter, WhatsApp are able to contain traffic in their network because of hate.

I would like to end with a vachana(kannada literature)
ಮನೆಒಳಗಿನ ಕಿಚ್ಚು ಮನೆಯ ಸುಟ್ಟಲ್ಲದೆ, ನೆರೆಮನೆಯ ಸುಡದು.

It means the fire within the house, burns your house and not the neighbors.
I hope we are not burning our own house in this love to hatredenedness.
