The last few days I have been getting messages on my orkut about how a few pakistani kids started this community called "I Hate India". These messages were flocking asking me to put up an Indian flag as my image and show unity and all that. Funny thing I realized is Patriotism is good but it also blinds one's judgement. Of all the zealous Indian Patriots on orkut no one has cared to totally understand the objective for this community.
Ironically their ploy to ignite a few feelings has successfully done the same. Paying attention to and responding to incidents like that will only provide encouragement to the starters to go on and make it even worse. I am not saying ignore these incidents but don't fuel them for no reason. The best one can do is educate people who would be easily influenced by communities like that instead of just putting on a flag as your image.
