Whatsapp washing the dirt of the politicians

There are two types of people in my town. First are those who use WhatsApp messaging services and the second are those who can't use it for one reason or the other. The second group consists mainly of old people, computer illiterates and small children. There is a wide gap between the people of these two groups. While the Whatsapp smart can bring revolutions with their finger tips, the Whatsapp ignorant can only gape with astonishment the fast changes occurring around them. The most recent example is the Lok Sabha elections of 2014. The traditional leaders were unaware of the power of Whatsapp till now and perhaps, they would learn it in a hard way by losing vote count. At the same time it has been found that while venting out their emotions people often resort to slandering and propogating hate messages. It is well known that slander campaigns and ugly jokes often turnout to be beneficial for those against whom they are targetted. It is because such hatred and slander generates a sympathy wave. Social media can yield positive results only if there are healthy discussions. No accusation ought to be made withot substantial base. Their is a belief in my country that a slanderer virtually washes the clothes of the person whom he slanders (Nindak hamre kapre thove- Kabir). May be it is due to this very reason that the politicians are dressed in such sparkling white clothes!
