India is a democracy, if they want to block it for 'cultural' reasons they should get the people's approval to block it for 'cultural' reasons. Right now they are acting on the wrong mandate. We are most likely looking at a case of gross detachment from the constituents they serve.
- vegabook 12y agoThat is true, but you must also realise the ability of the world's greatest power to influence thinking across the planet via the dominance of its corporations, institutions, and yes, dominant sites. In this situation, democracy is maleable by capital. And I am not saying these blockages are good. Only that we should always question who is served by all this openness.
