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.

    blogging for train drivers – we feel for you.Special stations to be enabled on every route which they can stop to blog.
    blogging for bus drivers – we feel for you. Special ‘post it’s’ on a volunteers back inside crowding the bus.

    • Lakshmi Rajan on April 2, 2010 at 1:18 pm

      :-D We need a comittee to look into the full aspect of this Act and include your brilliant points too :nerd:

  5. Bharathi on April 2, 2010 at 10:25 am

    LOL.

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

    • Lakshmi Rajan on April 2, 2010 at 1:19 pm

      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?

    • Lakshmi Rajan on April 2, 2010 at 1:20 pm

      Ufffffs :-? You really took my post as a serious campaign? :X-P: It was supposed to be taken with a pinch of salt err comic bytes … Chillax ! it is supposed to be a humorous post :P

      • Parth J Dave on April 2, 2010 at 1:24 pm

        Ohhh… I am so sorry! I actually took this up seriously.. LOL :P

        Sorry again, buddy! ;)

        • Parth J Dave on April 2, 2010 at 1:38 pm

          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:

          • Lakshmi Rajan on April 2, 2010 at 1:43 pm

            Thanks :-D

            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:

    • Saurabh Panshikar on April 2, 2010 at 1:47 pm

      kya re parth! Poore post ke humor ki vaat laga di!

      • Parth J Dave on April 2, 2010 at 2:01 pm

        Arre sorry, Saurabh… meri galti, oops! :silly:

  7. Krishna Chaitanya on April 2, 2010 at 10:30 am

    Reservations? Even for blogging? Aren’t we supposed to move away from them?

    • Lakshmi Rajan on April 2, 2010 at 1:25 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:

  8. Saurabh Panshikar on April 2, 2010 at 1:12 pm

    I’ll second this law immediately!

    * If a regular blogger does not post since more than a week, fellow bloggers to have a right to inquire into the matter.

    • chatterbox on April 2, 2010 at 1:20 pm

      That was a cool post :)
      Loved the points raised by Laxmi and additions made Gyan :D

      Let’s see when government in Australia will think of something similar :)

      Cheers!!

      • Lakshmi Rajan on April 2, 2010 at 1:27 pm

        Ya Saurabh this Law should be implemented ASAP :X-P:

        @ CB

        I would be delighted if you carry the campaign to Australia and get it implemented there too . All hail the power of Bloggers :evilgrin:

    • Lakshmi Rajan on April 2, 2010 at 1:37 pm

    one needs to be done for sure- bogging time in offices, and obviously where one can safely bitch about bosses

    Professional bloggers earning money should share with all other bloggers.

    • Lakshmi Rajan on April 5, 2010 at 3:51 pm

      Ya we are forwarding our demands and the RTB draft to Government of India, if the centre approves and we get grant, you will be paid ;-) :X-P:

    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 !
