Diesen verlinkten Kommentar von mir zur #Digitalstrategie möchte ich mit einem Thread ergänzen. 8 Monate kreisste der Berg, ähm, die Bundesregierung, u gebar ein digitales Mäuschen. Ja, es gibt auch Gutes in der D-Strategie, aber so kann das alles nix werden u das ist schlecht./1
Zuerst meine Gesamteinschätzung zur #Digitalstrategie, dann gehts in ein paar Details.
1) Digitalisierung ist dem Kanzler egal, das merkt man auch an dieser Strategie u an ihrer Vorstellung. Das ist ein echtes Problem, denn er hätte Richtlinienkompetenz (also theoretisch) /2
Der #Digitalstrategie fehlt die gemeinwohlorientierte Vision, daran ändern auch kleine Prosamärchen nichts. Sie riecht zuviel nach Wirtschaft, deshalb ist Open Data drin, (="digitale Wertschöpfung"), aber weil Open Government als Vision fehlt, fehlt auch das #Transparenzgesetz./3

On 12 June, PM Modi was the ‘lead speaker' for the session on Open Societies at the G7 Summit. He asked G7 to uphold democracy, right to assembly, freedom of expression, transparency, digital inclusion.

Meanwhile, the situation in India:

@accessnow's #KeepItOn report shows that India under PM Modi has made its mark in the world, quite literally as the country is consistently a top performer in the internet shutdown race. 2/11

@G7 @BorisJohnson @JustinTrudeau
@freedomhouse’s Freedom in the World 2020 report ranked India as the ‘Countries in the Spotlight’ for the “deterioration of basic freedoms”. India moved down 10 points from 2017 and has been given the status of a ‘partly free’ country. 3/11

Among other things, #PranabMukherjee was said to have the memory of an elephant. Remembered the minutest detail from years ago.
Remember an interview of Arun Shourie by @ShekharGupta in #WalkTheTalk when UPA2 was floundering. He told SG that - had it not been for #PranabMukherjee who was the only person who had credibility within the Congress and with the Opposition the government would have collapsed.
Perhaps, the unkindest cut was - when Manmohan Singh went for his coronary bypass surgery #SoniaGandhi refused to name #PranabMukherjee the interim No 2 despite his being the senior most in the cabinet (she formed a joint committee with AK Antony. Such insecurity.

A short story.
4 people (introduced themselves as social activists) visit a veteran in his house who offered them chai & snacks. During the course of the conversation, they started discussing the veteran's writings & social media posts which were critical of the govt.

All of a sudden they get terribly agitated & the language takes a downward spiral & curse words creep in.
A terrible trait in most of us Indians begin with 'Jaante nahin ho, hum kaun hain?"
'Kaun ho Bhai?'
A swelling of a body part later, "hum RSS waale hain. Agar tum ne...

...ye anti BJP aur anti Modi lekh band nahin kiya, toh achha nahin hoga."

'Kyon? Kya achha nahin hoga?'

Some incredulous looks were exchanged amongst themselves. They get up in a huff & body language takes an aggressive turn.
"Kalburgi yaad hai, na?"

'Ji.'

"Soch lena."

Dear Sanusi,

This would be very laudable, especially that the northern elders have failed to provide a solution to the menace. Let us start from this, while we concentrate on modalities of social rehabilitation & inclusion of the millions already on the street.

But,
what about calling for a national summit, of decision & policy makers in the North; traditional institutions, religious leaders, politicians, bureaucrats, academicians & all stakeholders. You, as an Emir flag off a campaign against Almajiri menace & other social vices,
use the power you have & local influence to start a fundraising campaign, donate just what you ll use to buy expensive gowns & cars for one year, mobilize the Alikos & everyone to donate into a NORTHERN POCKET SCHEME & use it to kill several beds with one stone. For instance,

Yesterday the @DeltaCouncil voted to prioritize a levee investment strategy that prioritizes water exports over protecting human life with the promise of re-evaluating the plan later on. This is not good enough!
Around 50% of the residents in North Delta Legacy towns are people of color; the poverty rate reaches up to 30% in some places. This is a significant environmental justice community.
Environmental justice communities do not recover from flood. We have a similar problem in Stockton where the Army Corps of Engineers has underfunded levee upgrades that are needed in South Stockton where there is a large population (different planning track).
