Right To Blogging
Now that Right to Education has come into action after 63 years of independence, It’s high time we put forward Right to Blogging that promises mandatory blogging for this vast and diverse country. Following are the key points of the proposed Act that expects to empower the nation through blogging:
- Free and compulsory blogging to all people from the age of 12. Although law allows children below 12 from blogging but it shall not be legally compulsory.
- No blogger shall be held back, expelled or required to close their blog till their completion of the blog post.
- A blogger who completes a blog post shall be awarded minimum one comment.
- Provides for 25 percent reservation. for comment deprived bloggers in all pro blogger’s and popular blogger’s blogs .
- Mandates improvement in quality of blogging.
- Senior bloggers will need adequate professional SEO tips and Blogging tips within 1 year so that they can help out new bloggers.
- Blogging platforms (where there is problem) to be improved in short term, else will be blacklisted by search engines and blogging community.
- Financial burden will be shared between state and central government if the individuals or their parents cannot afford the domain booking/ hosting charges.
- Parents, spouse and relatives give peace of mind, time and space to bloggers for uninterrupted blogging.
- Companies/Employers shall provide a blog- time for employees to check blog comments and reply to comments.
Bloggers of the nation lets unite and voice for the Act to be implemented by the GOI in atleast another 63 years. Blogging is our fundamental right and lets make it free and compulsory for the betterment of our society and nation.
Let’s sip thoughts! Happy Blogging.

LOL.
You need to do something for female bloggers getting more comments and followers than male bloggers.
-

You got a valid concern, we need a quota for male bloggers within the broader Act :razzmad:

Though I am a blogger, I don’t think that blogging should be made mandatory in our country. Every activity in this world has limitations. Let us not cross those limitations when we talk about blogging.
First, even if blogging does get mandatory, the content of the blog would be compromised. Amateur bloggers would resort to plagiarism just to keep their blog going, some others would have spam blogs while others would just rant and rant about their daily chores.
Let us aim for productivity through our blogs. Content will always remain King. Blogging can become a real waste of time, when one just raves and rants about random things, which doesn’t make sense to the blogger himself. Blogging is a specialized community of online writers. It is actually an enlightening activity, but can get a bore if it is made mandatory. I hope you are understanding what am trying to say, Lakshmi.
Blogging has not reached those heights in India that it can be made compulsory. Instead, the need of the hour now is to create awareness about blogging. There must be millions of people in India who haven’t heard or read blogs but Big B’s blog. In fact, many of my friends have no idea what a blog is. So, first, people need to know more about blogging. Also, politicians and leaders of our nation should be encouraged to blog. This will not only help connect the leaders to the masses, but will also urge others to blog.
What do you think about my perspective on this, Mr. Lakshmi?

I re-read this post and this time, I read between the lines…
LOL! Too good, Lakshmi.. :rotfl:
Why don’t we also have SC, ST and OBC quotas…? This will help the lower sections to come to terms with technology and blogging… The Government should also convert all blogs in India into the mobile-friendly ones so that one can read content even in those challenging Mumbai local trains… hehe… :laugh:
-

Thanks
Now that is some real suggestions you gave. Seriously we need sub-quotas and the mobile friendly blogs is one hell of a suggestion when we are moving into era of metros and public transports :evilgrin:

Reservations? Even for blogging? Aren’t we supposed to move away from them?
-
April 02, 2010 1:25:35 pm
Ofcourse we are supposed to be moving away from reservations (though in India the reality is different) but idle mind is creative devil’s workshop when you are a blogger and it results in a humorous (Atleast half you smiled right?!) post like this :chic:

Till the mid-late 90′s the credo used to be Roti, kapdaa aur makaan
post 2000, its Roti, Kapda, makaan aur bandwidth.Now, server space to host a blog needs to be added to that list.
What is more important is that bloggers should be seen as another form of the media and should not be persecuted by the high and mighty and the rich an powerful when views against them are expressed.
Great post, love the humour !
