The political arena of India in
currently in full poll mode with the General Elections scheduled in 2014 and
the two prime contenders for the PMs chair are UPA led by Congress and
the Bharatiya Janata Party. The BJP has
already named Narendra Modi as the
Chairman of the Central Election Campaign Committee. Which in all probability means that BJP if
voted into power will name Narendra Modi as Prime Minister of India.
Narendra Modi or NaMo as he is popularly
called has created a schism in the virtual world too. There are pro-NaMo techies and there are Anti
NaMo ones. This post brings the two of
them together for you to decide whether the webway is suffering from NaMomania or NaMonitus!
First
up is a smart phone featuring Android OS called Namo (Next-generation Android
Module Odyssey) by smartnano.com is a declared fan site of NaMo. The website says "We are fans of Shri, Narendra Modi, our
forthcoming future leader of our great nation India, we are manufacturing
latest Android handset dedicated to the IRONMAN of modern India, We are from
land of Gujarat & in electronic smartphone business in China NAMO stands for Narendra Modi and Next Generation Android Mobile Odyssey. Our product is our way of dedication
& respect to our great nation leater.
We will be launching NAMO Android handset with Shri Narendra Modi “signature edition.”
The
website however has scant details of the proposed smart phone, its pricing or
the date from which it will be available.
The website though gives the following specs :
1 GB RAM + 16 GB ROM
2 GB RAM + 16 GB ROM
2 GB RAM + 32 GB ROM
2 GB RAM + 64 GB ROM
1.5 Ghz MT6589 Turbo Chipset
13 MP Camera
Corning Glass 2
Screen 5 inches
This
is the pro NaMo techies at work obviously undergoing the NaMomania but there is
another group which resurrected the website NarendraModiPlans.com. When you visit
this site you will be led to a window which states that Narendra Modi plans for
India and further adds
"For a detailed explanation of how Mr.Narendra Modi plans to run our nation if elected as Prime Minister, Click on the below link"
Well
in a shadowed reference to the Narendra Modi not having any certain model of development
for India, the GET DETAILS button keeps running away the moment you try to
click it.
This
group made up of two gentlemen from Mumbai certainly suffers from NaMonitus.
For a full story on this, you may visit the Times of India’s website here. You can visit both the website and
guage the frenzy of political play taking place on the webzone.
You
may further comment on any of Pro NaMo or anti NaMo sites you may have
encountered or will encounter in the comments section so that other readers can
read about the same.

Now this is all getting funny here...Amidst all these political Drama..I guess techies are having a fun time.. :P
ReplyDeletethis is the first of many elections where social media have a large influence… but i am in may ways skeptical of its influence.. mostly because it is ill-informed and more so because it has a mass influence!
