Cyber war

There might not be an actual war with bombs and missiles but this Mumbai incidence and the later happenings has filled a lot of hatred in the people of Pakistan and India against each other. What could be a better source to know that than Orkut; the youngster's place.

While calling each other the worst names, abusing each other's religion, they are now hacking the communities and profiles on Orkut. Indians have the advantage of being greater in number. Up till now I haven't seen any hacked Indian community/profile, while the largest Pakistan community which had above 40,000 members and a lot of profiles have been hacked. And theres no doubt that this war has been started by Indians, when they first hacked the OGRA (Pakistan Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority) web site. This hacker group calls itself HMG, Hindu Militant Group. Not only Orkut, theres a lot of dirty crap on Facebook and YouTube. How far will this Cyber war go, that can't be said for sure.

I had some friends in India through. One was a medical student and he used to scrap me almost every other day. After the Mumbai incidence, I scraped him, offering my condolences and condemning the attacks. He never replied. And I felt ashamed on scraping him in the first place.

A few weeks ago, President Zardari, while addressing some Indian journalists via video conference, said, 'There's a bit of a Pakistani in every Indian and there's a bit of an Indian in every Pakistani.' He must have realized the futility of his statement now.

Things might get normal as they were on political scenario, but it will be difficult to extinguish these burning coals of hatred in common people, fueled by the wrong policies of some stupid people.
