Appreciate your view. I personally dislike candle light vigils...aisa lagta hai mano ek fashion ho...chahe kuch bi ho jaye, candle lekar nikal pado. Candle liye hue logon par jab media ka camera focus karta hai to unke chehre par ki hansi aur bhi ajeeb lagti hai. And social media par apne ap ko supporter dikhane se kya hoga...ye usi terah hai jaise jab koi facebook me inactive rehne wala insaan, achanak usi din apna status badalta hai jis din wo videsh ja raha ho...Hypocrisy of all sorts has crippled our society.

विचार सराहनीय है| मोमबत्तियां लेकर विरोध करना मानो फैशन बन गया है| चाहे जो भी हो जाए, मोमबत्ती लो और सड़क पर निकल जाओ| इन लोगों पर मीडिया जब फ़ोकस करता है तो उनके चेहरे पर हंसी और भी अजीब लगती है| सोशल मीडिया पर खुद को सपोर्टर दिखा कर क्या हासिल होगा? यह उसी तरह है जैसे फसबूक पर निष्क्रिय रहने वाला इंसान, अचानक उसी दिन अपना स्टेट्स अपडेट करे जिस दिन वो विदेश जाने वाला हो|

Dear Vartika (if I may)

I read your article this morning and found it extremely insightful. In fact, I was thinking of writing to you on your given id.

The only point, I would like to make is this: you have clearly indicated the manner in which this so-called self-claimed apolitical movement is actually mediatized.

This is a very valuable line of argument for understanding the contemporary nature of our political discourses.

The problem, however, arises when we endeavor to think beyond these mediatized images. This is where the politics of media begins.

As a curious reader of your writings, I would like to know more on this media politics, which not merely represents events and individuals in multiple ways but also 'construct' issues and now 'movements'.

These are just initial thoughts. I hope to get more insightful and rigorous analysis of this kind in future as well.

Regards

Hilal
