Censory Perception

The point of speaking out without sanction from aforementioned stalWarts is simple. Our college operates just like the government agencies in China, Iran, etc. that control or restrict information – if no one speaks about it people won’t think it exists and hence everything will seem fine and dandy. I’m quite certain their proxy servers are sourced from the same fine nations quoted above.

Well it isn’t; you know it, I know it and they know it – and I felt it was time to do something at the very least. A leading (non)periodical distributed in the campus claims to be looking for people ready to “Speak fearlessly, be part of the renaissance and ‘proove’ that the pen is mightier than the sword”. Who’s sword? And it’s prove not proove. Well if you are planning to apply for a post at this haven of ochre journalism I hope you know you’ll have to toe the line. Why? Cause the big daddy (an expert very visible at said bjjngr pan-wallah) on top of it all is quite capable of replacing Sharmila Tagore as censor board chief – write about our shitty admissions process or abysmal placement scenario (I was amazed at the way EO turned that around they should apply to become Bush’s spin-doctors) and your bound to get either fired or the whole operation shut down.

So I can’t really blame the word wizards at The Red Herring publication – it’s the system again. Would it improve if we paid a couple of rupees for a copy and took it out of the institutes finance? Maybe, but it would sadly, have to become anonymous and you already have me for that - don’t you?

These articles are here for you to think and hopefully, to bring you to act and make this institution better than it is. Feedback is appreciated and hence the address below. Vandalising the postings and adding comments, more so.

Your mistake. Just keeping it real.
