An interesting piece that fails to include an economic angle. hundreds of millions of Indians live in extreme poverty, without enough food, let alone access to communications technology. Is cyber-activism simply a new voice for those who are already empowered, or does it actually empower those who previously had no voice?

Weasel words are prevalent in this article, esp. "virtual vigilantism". Somewhat vague in its descriptions of various groups active in the Asian internet - I'd like a more in depth coverage of this - but as an overview, it passes.

it is not very long and doesn't do much more deeper research. However, it is not very investigative, and lacks sources on some of the citations. it's mostly comprised of stories.

This hits on some interesting developments in Indian political culture, but it seems some of this is old news. We're not given an idea of their scale either -- whom among India's 1.1 billion is engaged? Heavy editorializing at the end. Mediocre.

The article does a good job of exploring how online media has transformed Indian activism--but it seems outdated. This phenomenon is occurring all over the world, and fails to examine it within larger socioeconomic contexts. The strange and arbitrary quotation marks were a little distracting.
