top 50 Most Influential People in India<\/a>. This is the first time such an honor has gone to a blogger in India.
\n
\nI have believed for a long time that Blogs by normal people are going to upstage newspapers in the coming times. When that happens is not clear but as a medium of expression and analysis of the happenings in the world from a totally fresh perspective, nothing beats the blogs. The media journalists unfortunately, are prisoners of their own prejudices\u2026 and do so because of monetary compulsions \u2013 ad contributions et al \u2013 but bloggers really don\u2019t have such a restriction. They can say their minds. Not that the bloggers are always unbiased.. but they have a better reason to be unbiased.<\/p>\nWhat do you think of the blogging in India? Where is it going and how will it evolve?<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
