The Rave party culture has reached to India. After Hindu Festival, Holi, Pune Rural Police caught a huge group having a rave party near Pune historical SinhaGarh (A historical fort).
So whats new? ........
1. People are defending their kids, without having any realization of the situation. The defense is: The kids were drinking beer, not taking drugs, police should not have caught them. Are these parents gone mad?
The most surprising part is, if it is acceptable for kids to have beer at a party, so what is harm in sniffing some brown powder or white powder?
2. Media is enjoying the attention, spreading some stupid stories about the drugs. I sometime feel like sending these reporters DEA links to explain difference between GHB and Heroin.
Media is doing complete disservice by not being honest and clear about issues associated with many of the drugs normally used in the Rave Parties.
3. Usual overreaction and targeting of Orkut. The stories are similar to the ones one sees in US for myspace. Orkut is really popular in India and is being misused by half-baked, uneducated Indian Youth. The worry is that Google is ignoring the popular reaction. In a country, where eBay CEO was put behind bars for some video getting sold on eBay, Google will certainly get banned.
Summary - India is changing, rapidly and We do not know how to choose the right things from west. The copy-cat ideas are winning over the good ones.
That's the most unfortunate part apparent from Rave Party incident.
