Tahrir Square - the Epicenter of Egyptian revolution
Following up on my last Blog about Journalism:2 -the social network has brought about a big Change.
Today marks a great day in the current History of the world where the uprisings and revolts in Tunisia, Egypt and now currently undergoing in Jordan will mark a substantial change in the lives of the people from these countries.

I am not remotely related to any of these countries but the family from where I buy my breakfast is Egyptian and one of my barber was Jordanian - so somehow I feel a part of all this.
Just like the car brought about the Industrial Revolution in the early part of the 20th Century - Computer and technology have brought about major changes to the way we have been perceiving the world. This truly will go down in the history books as a revolutionary period - it has leveled the playing field for the world - the work can be done anywhere anytime - there is no one super power left - big countries are no longer a threat - downtrodden and poor people have a say and are forcing their rights - the rights that one should not be fighting for as we all are born free.
There are many more changes that we will see and some of it are predictions that I feel can happen -
- Chinese currency could become the currency for the world
- Civil war or internal revolt is a possibility in the United States where disparity between the rich and poor is increasing day by day.
- Youth of the two countries India and Pakistan can come together and solve the border issues - a far out possibility but can happen
Lastly the truly remarkable truth of the revolution in Egypt are following the Gandhian principles of Intolerance, Non Violence and Persistence. Am not sure if Egyptians followed it or no but it worked.
In Mahatma's own words -“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.”
Be persistent. In time the opposition around you will fade and fall away. And your inner resistance and self-sabotaging tendencies that want to hold you back and keep you like you have always been will grow weaker.

said so true,and as for ur predictions the youth of india ,dont know about pak ,has already started their fight against corruption injustice,in a small way ,but has got ample support from comman man like us so there is already an uprising,no one can tolerate injustice ,and they have to fight back ,just as egypt.
the revolution was long overdue inne....glad its happening.
hope yur predictions come true....
bhai, loved the third prediction
@CU
I understand that corruption is a big issue not only in our countries but lot of the world. Even here in the US it is rampant but at a much higher level (lobbyists etc) - my reasoning for Indo Pak issue is to allow the people of Kashmir to breathe freely and have a real Life....
@simple r
Thanks for the input - hope I can be part of it all some day.....
@mia
Yes - but it is these destabilizing times that gives birth to autocrats and despots....so people have to continue till the end and not just give up once their first demands are met......
@satish
Maybe we should instigate something what say :)
