Passport is fine but what country you want them to flee to? They cant even be send to Pakistan.
 
Long back US sponsored and financed NGOs created a stir against Kundakulam Nuke plants. Church was directly responsible for that. Closing down of Sterlite plant has reduced copper production in India by nearly 50%. USA is one of the biggest producers of copper. Will it not directly help USA as we will be forced to import copper from them? Church is the culprit yet again.

Modi government looks to set up media command room, issues tender for technology
India’s government is looking for a company to scrape and analyze social media posts to help boost nationalism and neutralize any "media blitzkrieg by India’s adversaries."

In a lengthy tender posted online, India’s Ministry of Information and Broadcasting said it wants a company to provide analytical software and a team of at least 20 professionals to "power a real time New Media Command Room."

They should monitor Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, Internet forums and even email in order to analyze sentiment, identify "fake news," disseminate information on behalf of the government and inject news and social media posts with a "positive slant for India," the tender said.

Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration, India’s ministries and cabinet ministers have been active on social media, tweeting new policies and interacting with citizens. But this tender suggests Modi’s government now wants more powerful social media tools to shape a positive narrative about India and encourage nationalism among its citizens in the lead up to state and national elections.

"Essentially, the hub will be a mass surveillance tool," said Nikita Sud, an associate professor of international development at Oxford University. "Nationalism seems to be equated with agreement with the government of the day, or even with the party in power. There are grave implications here for India’s democracy, and for the fundamental rights to free speech and expression guaranteed by the Indian constitution."
A spokesman in the prime minister’s office did not immediately respond to a call or text. Calls to a spokesman for the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting were not answered.

Big Brother
India is just the latest Asian country looking more closely at "fake news" and social media. In the run up to a closely-fought election in Malaysia, the government of former prime minister Najib Razak introduced a fake news law that was used to probe his chief opponent Mahathir Mohamad, who won the election and has reportedly proposed to repeal the law. In Singapore, a parliamentary select committee recently held public hearings over the issue of imposing new restrictions on "fake news."

In India’s tender, the government seeks the ability to track trends, topics and Twitter hashtags relevant to government activities. But it also seeks the ability to drill down and monitor individual social media accounts, create historical archives of conversations and help shape a positive narrative about India.
It suggests the social media tool should use "predictive modeling" and "data mining" to "make predictions about the future or unknown events," including the impact of headlines in international publications such as the New York Times, the Economist and Time magazine.

What "would be the global public perception due to such headlines and breaking news, how could the public perception be molded in positive manner for the country, how could nationalistic feelings be inculcated in the masses," it continues. How "could the media blitzkrieg of India’s adversaries be predicted and replied/neutralized, how could the social media and internet news/discussions be given a positive slant for India," the document reads.
"The worst thing is that this is akin to creating surveillance infrastructure, equivalent to China and Russia, which are monitoring many of their citizens," said Niranjan Sahoo, a senior fellow at the Observer Research Foundation think-tank in New Delhi and a member of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace’s Rising Democracies Network. "And all these things are being done without robust data protection laws."
The government tender is dated April 25, and noted it was accepting bids until May 17.

This took a long time to conjure, BJP should have set up this MEDIA War room command central in the first year itself, when people in connivance with butthurt Left liberals around the world, were conjuring up fake stories about atrocity literature,India ,Intolerance Brigade ,Tukde Tukde gang which hurt the Indian economy ,tourism all the while forgetting the injustices back in West.
Thank goodness, now these Left Liberal cabal and their entrenched journalist links will be broken.
"Acche din for India, Bure din for Marxists, Liberandus and Sickulars". Surveillance is the need of the hour, too many Illegal immigrants are residing in our country and every gets a voter Id and aadhar, Surveillance will put end to Church,Vatican funded fake protests like Kudanakulam,Tuticorin protests and the Islamist agenda from middle east.
Russia Shielded itself from Western meddling of its internal affairs in the name of freedom, LGBT using its NGO's They banned these foreign NGO's just like China to secure their countries.

Look at the people who are crying in the article,

The western countries have data mining AI's to snoop and gather information on every electronic equipment, now they are crying Big Brother, because they understand this move will restrict the space they use to manipulate India's internal affairs.

Yes. This is conspiracy by USA, I wonder why companies that are founded in the north are the ones that are targeted by USA as causing pollution? Neyveli or Salem or India cements rarely get the kind of controversy that Vedanta or adani or ambani get. Oh wait, it must be because southern companies generally abide by the law and follow at least many of the major regulation. Not so with the lawless north where bribery to overcome pollution regulations is common and then when entire communities come down with cancer you beat them up and blame it on America.

Nice . Keep it up ! Do share what you brayed about !

There could be several reasons for this. Brand new tire fitted with loose lugs. Infrastructure has been developed whereas the quality/level of students and teachers hasn't. On the whole , the quality of teachers has declined. Technology, in many ways, has crippled the learning process.

Wait ! it is now the fault and quality of students and teachers? Earlier it was Infrastructure, now it is Technology which crippled the learning process? Technology is supposed to make things easier to learn. What is your next goalpost change? blame the lack of sun and Vitamin D for students not being able to concentrate well in schools?
